Description
SI20 product objective and positioning
The SI20 is a semi-automatic presser heads system allowing pressing 1 or several times a chip module, an ISO plate or a fingerprint sensor on a card. The 2 presser heads allow reproducing a standard embedding process, typically with the first head heating the component, and the second head cooling it. Each embedding parameters can be controlled including the pressing temperature, the pressing time, and pressure force.
This simple and affordable system allows performing various embedding tests on cards in a view tuning a process before implementing it into a bigger system like the SI700. For some particular projects where:
– specific or new components need to be embedded on cards, like a particular fingerprint sensor,
– particular card material needs to be used, like metal cards or others,
– a particular/new adhesive and/or conductive glue need to be used,
– a particular embedding process,
– a pilot, experiment or tests need to be conducted using a small quantity of cards,
then the SI20 is the perfect system to exercise these new elements and related embedding parameters on a small quantity of cards, before launching a production.
The SI20 is mainly used for engineering purposes. It avoids using a production system to exercise a new technology or new card products. It has been designed to bring a maximum of flexibility:
– All embedding process parameters are adjustable: temperature, pressure force, pressure time.
– It can embed chip modules, contact plates and fingerprint sensors in any position on the card, except 1mm from the right/left edge of the card, and 2mm from the top/bottom of the card.
– Presser heads can be easily changed to accommodate the component design, depending on the chip module / contact plate / fingerprint sensor used.
– It supports various card materials: PC, PVC, ABS, PET, composite, metal.
– It can be used to manually produce small volumes of cards, including:
o Contact cards, with a single chip or with multiple chips
o Dual interface cards
o Biometric cards
