  • Patent number: 8397376
    Abstract: A smart card processing system for processing a plurality of smart card portions on a smart card panel substantially simultaneously. The system may include a transfer member for moving card panels. Smart card panels may be loaded into an input magazine capable of elevating the panels with respect to a processing station. A transfer member may transport smart card panels from the input magazine to the processing station wherein one or more pre-personalization operations may be conducted. The transfer member may also be operative to move the smart card panels from the processing station to a marking station such that defective smart portions may be marked. The transfer may also move panels from the marking station to an output magazine. The output magazine may lower the smart card panels with respect to the marking station to accommodate more initiated smart card panels.

  • Publication number: 20120047716
    Abstract: A smart card processing system allowing for processing of a plurality of smart card portions on a smart card panel substantially simultaneously. The system may include a transfer member for moving card panels within the system. Smart card panels may be loaded into an input magazine capable of elevating the panels with respect to a processing station. A transfer member may be operative to transport smart card panels from the input magazine to the processing station wherein one or more pre-personalization operations may be conducted on each of the smart card portions. The transfer member may also be operative to move the smart card panels from the processing station to a marking station such that defective smart portions may be marked. The transfer may also move panels from the marking station to an output magazine wherein a plurality of smart card panels that have been initialized may be stored.
