Spartanics introduced its M510 compact plastic card punching system, a low-cost system designed for those producing small volumes (5,000–86,000/day) of hotel keys, membership cards and other plastic cards in standard CR80 formats. The system incorporates Spartanics’ electro-optical registration technology. It provides maximum outputs of 9,000 cards per hour. The M510 is a small footprint system the size of a photocopier. It is manually loaded, with easy-to-operate feeds.
