APS2002 CD Publisher

A Design Based on Proven Technology & Experience APS 2002 is Trace Affex's Automated Publishing System for CD-Rs and CD-R business cards. APS 2002 is a standalone CD publishing system to duplicate and print CDs in a single operation without operator intervention. APS 2002 systems have a 100-disc capacity and are configured with two 16x CD-R writers and Trace Affex's best CD printer, the CD-Artist IV. APS 2002 Systems are built on Trace Affex's patented robotic autoloader platform with a proven reputation for performance and reliability. This heavy duty, industrial grade system includes built-in autoloader intelligence minimizing the need for customer intervention. The autoloader detects when CDs have been loaded or unloaded and then automatically recalibrates the loader permitting continuous operation. The patented CD picker and loading mechanisms are designed to grip the CDs by the hub, ensuring a positive grip but avoiding damage to the CDs surface. Dual input and output hoppers can be software selected and linked to specific CD-R writers permitting two separate duplication and printing jobs to be run concurrently while ensuring no CDs are mixed. A disc accumulator buffer stores discs from the first cycle while blank discs are loaded to begin the second duplication cycle. The buffer then supplies discs to the printer in a parallel operation to maximize system efficiency. The operator has complete control over input hopper, CD-R writer, CD accumulator, print image and output hoppers for each job. The system is also equipped with a separate reject hopper to isolate failed CDs. The high-speed 16X CD-R writers are shock mounted to isolate the drives from any external vibration during the recording process. Plexiglas access doors and front mounted LED's permit easy visual confirmation of system status.
