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.
