New Aperture Card Blow Back System Offers Convenience for Re-Engineering, Re-Manufacturing and Re-Design
Rockville, MD July 7, 2004 - IDEAL.com introduces its new Aperture Card Blow Back System for engineers, manufacturing, scientific or any one with aperture cards that need to be converted to paper drawings. This cost-effective system is designed specifically to replace old and ailing aperture card readers. Users can quickly and easily perform functions ranging from the most simple, such as printing a hard copy of the card, to the more complex, such as capturing a digital copy of the card and creating a searchable database. IDEAL's Aperture Card Blow Back System comes completely configured and ready to use.
IDEAL's Aperture Card Blow Back System is a bundled solution with the convenience of one-vendor service and support. It makes it easy to do tasks such as re-engineer parts, re-manufacture products or re-design buildings by enabling fast scanning and indexing of aperture cards and direct printing of full 36" wide monochrome prints.
Each component of this system is top-of-the-line in its class. The scanner uses a FireWire or USB interface to efficiently rasterize large format drawings that have been stored on aperture cards. The scanner also reads Hollerith code for automatic scaling & file naming. The printer is a super fast CAD graphics machine capable of printing 567 sf/hr monochrome in superdraft mode.
