MAE 12
Tape Layering System
Mühlbauer’s MAE 12 tape layering system is a flexible solution for applying magnetic and signature stripes as well as security stripes onto sheets. This additional process step completes the card and Smart Card production from one source. In the tape layering process, up to 12 magnetic stripes are transferred onto overlay foils. Using 12 tracks, this machine can produce up to 72,000 cards per hour via processing from reel-to-reel and optionally from reel-to-sheet. This is based on an overlay thickness range of 40 to 400 microns and a width of 780 mm. The magnetic stripes are pressed, using their full width, onto the overlay material. The MAE 12 provides full adhesion to the stripes for safe handling of the sheets and the elimination of any variation of the stripe location during lamination. The MAE 12 is designed to accommodate different stripe widths and spacing. Intuitive operational handling and easy maintenance also maximize the efficiency.
