  • Publication number: 20120275108
    Abstract: The invention relates to a machine for the electrical and graphic customisation of portable electronic objects, comprising: a loading station; a plurality of treatment stations including at least one laser- or inkjet-marking station and/or an inspection station and/or a label application station; a rejection station; and a customised-object-unloading station. The invention is characterised in that a transfer device comprises a plurality of mobile components, arranged along a closed-loop path, each mobile component being moved along the path and being solidly connected to an encoding head linked to a programming card that is moved by the mobile component. The encoding head is moved successively along the path from a loading station to at least one treatment station, simultaneously performing the electronic customisation of the component, and then either to the outlet or to a rejection station.
