The SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES replication line SPACELINE, worldwide known as a benchmark for DVD replication is replaced by its next generation. With the introduction of the new SPACELINE II, SINGULUS reacts to the market demand to have a faster, smaller and smarter line to meet best cost efficiency and a high daily output. This production line is a multi-functional line completely new designed for the manufacturing of DVD 9, DVD 5 and DVD 10. The new concept will be introduced and presented in May 2004 at the Media-Tech Expo in Frankfurt/Germany.
While the cycle time for the DVD system has been reduced from 3 seconds to 2.5 seconds, it incorporates the potential for additional improvements. The new machine provide an average daily production rate of about 30,000 Discs.
The new concept based on the experience of more than 600 SPACELINE in the market. To set the future benchmark in DVD replication again, a new generation of components allowing enhanced functionality, are used in combination with highly improved ergonomics. This second generation of a full automatic DVD replication line is following the philosophy for the utilization of the most advanced and reliable servomotors available today. These drives of course are supported by extremely precise gear boxes.
Generally SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES AG places its focus on this new line to reach the highest productivity in the market. To achieve these targets the molding equipment has to be chosen accordingly. The design of the new SPACELINE II is prepared to future emerging DVD formats and represents therefore the optimum for all pre-recorded DVD formats.
