Corporate CD Copiers

Category Compact Disc | no comments »

CD copiers are frequently used by companies to make CDs of their presentations and seminars. Movie and music companies also use copiers to manufacture CDs in bulk. Increasingly, medium- to large-sized companies are seeking more effective methods for the distribution of information, be it training manuals, marketing information, or company brochures. There is a wide range of corporate CD copiers available on the market, which includes automated CD and DVD publishing systems that can deliver fast, effective, and reliable duplication that enables anyone in the office to make professional looking disc presentations.

The lower end versions of corporate CD copiers typically include machines with a clever robotic mechanism that automatically drops discs from the input bin into the waiting burner drive, one by one. Once copying is complete, the robotic arm will lift the burnt disc from the drive and place it onto the output spindle. If for any reason a disc does not copy accurately, maybe due to a faulty disc, the copier will automatically drop it into the reject bin. Users are assured of quality copies time after time.

The higher end corporate CD copiers include a 12 drive auto-loading copier in which five 220 capacity spindles are based on a revolving turntable holding a total of 1100 discs. A second turntable is present that acts as the output hopper. As each individual spindle is emptied, the turntable will automatically revolve around to the next full spindle. There is no user intervention required, other than for loading blank media and unloading the completed duplication job. Such machines produce up to 1100 duplicates of the original (master) CD without requiring replenishment. These machines also have a facility wherein multiple master CDs can be duplicated unattended.

Working at up to 32 times faster than the normal writing speeds, these machines are capable of producing approximately 200 CD-R’s per hour. Smaller capacity masters result in higher throughput rates per hour. These second generation copiers are an industrial strength precision engineered system with an amazing capacity for “on demand” CD duplication requirements.

Thus, for many requirements, such as getting business cards, music, or presentations on CDs, corporate CD copiers are not just an available option, but a necessity.

Bulk CD Copying

Category Compact Disc | no comments »

Compact disc (CD) copiers or CD duplicators copy the contents of one CD onto another CD (or many CDs).

CD copiers may be manual, integrated, or networked. With manual CD copiers, the operator is required to physically open the copier and reload the CDs. However, they are slow and can copy only one to nine CDs at a time. In contrast, the higher end versions of CD copiers allow easy copying of CDs in bulk so that one can copy up to 1100 CDs in one go in a small span of time, without intervention.

CD copiers may be CD-writable (CD-R) or CD-rewritable (CD-RW). In CD-Rs, a laser recorder copies data on a blank CD by selectively burning an organic dye on the CD surface. This process is also known as burning and it is a permanent and irreversible process. CDs burnt by a CD-R can be used only once. But with CD-RW’s, a laser recorder melts an alloy on the surface of the CD in selective degrees. This is a reversible process and these CDs can be used for around a thousand rewrites.

Bulk copying of CDs is required in a lot of cases, such as for handing out CDs to music producers, passing out hundreds of CDs at local concerts, or providing beta versions of a company’s proprietary software. The bulk CD copying process is also very cost efficient. With a tiered price structure, the more the number of units ordered, the more is the saving per individual disk.

Nowadays, with CDs changing in size, a lot of people present their business cards on CDs which not only contains the usual information about them and their company, but also provide a detailed list of the products or services the company offers, along with a whole host of other information. With such use of CDs, bulk copying of CDs for the purpose of using them as business cards becomes absolutely necessary.

Automatic CD Copiers

Category Compact Disc | no comments »

Automated CD copiers provide hands-free operation and are available as PC-connected or stand-alone models. They are equipped with a robot arm that can load and unload CDs. These CD copiers are actually a combination of many CD copiers - as many as 16. This allows a large number of CDs, from 100 to 1000, to be copied at a time. CDs that cannot be copied or have some problem are automatically rejected at the end of the process.

Traditional CD copiers are operated manually. The CD copier uses a burning software application that is installed on the computer. CD copiers can usually burn only one copy at a time. After one CD is copied, the user has to manually open the drive shutter (or press a button provided for that purpose) and replace it with another blank CD for copying. This makes copying CDs with a manual PC copier a slow process.

Automated CD copiers make the burning process much quicker. These have an input spindle and an output spindle. Blank CDs are placed in a stack on the input spindle. A robotic arm picks up blank CDs from the input spindle, one at a time, and sends them into the drive for copying. When the burning process is over, the CD is automatically placed onto the output spindle. This is a hands-free process, but it takes a long time to complete the process.

These automated CD copiers are ideal because the CD copier can be left running overnight or a weekend. A large number of CD or DVD discs can be stacked on the spindle, and the machine can be left to run until the job is complete. Some machines can also be networked, allowing multiple users to have access to the CD copiers.

These Automated CD copiers thus make the task of copying several CDs easier. It also brings precision and efficiency to the entire process.
