Large volumes
Braille Box is the best embosser for large volumes of
braille, using ordinary cut
sheet copy paper and the best sheet feeder ever
to be used in a braille embosser.
Best price performance
Using the latest electronic platform, injection modeling
tools and professional design it has been possible to
combine high performance with and a very attractive
price. Braille Box is Index Braille's master piece,
giving our costumers what they have asked for in a high
production embosser.
Price: USD 12'995.00
Low noise
Good dot quality has resulted in high noise for all
former braille embosser models. Now this has changed.
Braille Box is the first single sheet fed embosser to
have a completely sealed off paper track and dot
forming. This in combination with muffler ventilation
gives a surprisingly low noise level.
Best sheet feeder
The
core in making a good single sheet braille embosser is
the sheet feeder. The sheet feeder used in Braille Box
is the property of Index Braille and the best one ever
to be used for Braille. The pick-up function is
optimized for braille paper quality and tested to
perfection. The paper tray holds up to 400 sheets of
paper.
Design
Braille Box is an answer to Index Bralle's customers
demand on a faster, quieter and better braille embosser.
Braille Box has larger paper tray, better sheet feeding
and higher embosser speed than any other product before
it. It is Index Braille's largest investment, making the
highest quality of braille affordable for everyone.
The
idea of Braille Box
On
your request
Index Braille's customers have asked for a faster,
quieter braille embosser with larger sheet feeder.
4Waves PRO was a step on the way. Now Braille Box is
here, our most excellent braille embosser yet.
V4 electronic platform
V4
embossers from Index Braille use a two CPU system, where
previously only one CPU was used. This is a huge step,
making V4 embossers more stable, durable and simple than
ever before.
Braille Box uses the same two CPU principles, only here
four CPU's collaborate. Every printing head is
controlled by its' own CPU. This puts the demanding
braille printing mechanics under excellent control.
The sheet feeder
Index Braille have invested in the tools and production
rights to a professional sheet feeder with 400 page
capacity. This sheet feeder has been a key to the
Braille Box design, giving the three printing heads
unbeatable stability.
Investing for the
future
We
are convinced you will like Braille Box, why we have
invested almost 20 times more in the development of this
embosser then we did in the 1990's for Index Everest/4x4.
Index
Everest has been the market leader in its segment for
the last 20 years.
We expect that
Index Braille Box will be the braille embosser leader into the
next future!
Technical breakthroughs
Three embossing modules
Braille Box is equipped with three embosser modules
embossing simultaneously. This is made better then ever
before by using V4 electronics with a 2 CPU concept. In
V4 embossers a larger Linux CPU is used for
communication, user interface etc., and a smaller CPU
controls motors and hammers.
In
Braille Box the same principles are used, only here 4
CPU's control the embosser. One large CPU and 3 smaller,
one for each printing head. In this way the development
costs have been reduced without affecting the excellent
quality.
Professional sheet
feeder
Braille Box is equipped with
a professional sheet feeder. It is optimized for 120-180
gsm paper and the paper pickup is perfect. The 400 pages
paper tray makes it possible to emboss large volumes of braille
without loading new paper.
The
professional sheet feeder will be a part of all Index
Braille embossers for many years to come.
Low noise level
In
Braille Box the paper track and paper forming areas are
totally closed from the outside. This has been possible
by integrating the paper in/out trays.
The noise which normally leaks out via the ventilation
is closed by mufflers and the box is damped with the
latest and most sophisticated noise absorbing technique.
