Automated CD Duplicators

CDs have become a near indispensable commodity in today’s tech-savvy world. From audio and video CDs to those containing important data, these optical devices have revolutionized the way we save and transmit data. As the demand for CDs has grown over the years, so has the need to mass-produce them. For this purpose, CD Duplicators are the ideal option.

A CD duplicator could be best described as a compact disc photocopier. This novel innovation lets the user make duplicate copies of the master CD. Unlike a normal CD recorder, which lets the user burn one CD at a time, a CD duplicator enables the mass production of the discs. The most popular type of CD duplicator is the automated CD duplicator. This device lets the user make multiple copies of the master CD without any manual interference. The two variations in an automated CD duplicator include the stand -alone systems and the ones attached to a host computer. These duplicating devices employ the use of a robotic disc handling system that automatically loads and unloads the recorders. All the user needs to do is stack the input spindle with blank discs and load the master CD. The automated system takes care of the rest. Optionally, a hard drive may also be connected to the duplicator instead of the master CD. Several CD duplication systems come combined with a printer device that lets the user print CD covers simultaneously while duplicating the CD.

Automated CD duplicators offer great convenience and flexibility to the user. Since the device usually has multiple recorders, mass production of CDs is possible. Moreover, the automated system does away with the need for human operation, saving manpower for other tasks.

Automated CD duplicators start off around $800-$900 and can go up to several thousands of dollars, depending upon the number of recorders and the recording speed. Several models are available, depending on the user’s requirements. Regardless of the model chosen, automated CD duplicators are sure to decrease costs, save time and help the user realize his full business potential.
