Glass Recovery System

Glass ecovery system is designed to efficiently remove nickel and dye polymer from the mastering glass. Efficient and reliable, this Glass Recovery System enables master glass to be reused many times through the electroforming processes.

Simple Operation

The ODC Glass Recovery System allows automatic removal of nickel and dye polymer residues from glass masters in a very efficient manner. The system only requires the operator's involvement during loading and unloading of the glass masters into the unit chamber.

Large Capacity

The ODC Glass Recovery System allows 10 pieces of glass to be cleaned at the same time. With a cycle time of 1 hour and 20 minutes, the system has capacity for facilities with several Laser Wave mastering systems.

Self Contained

This compact, sturdy unit, is designed to be installed in an electroforming area. This glass recovery unit also features a refilling station, to be placed in the adjacent service area. The system requires only minimal floor space.

Environmentally Friendly

The ODC Glass Recovery System dispenses chemicals into the cleaning chamber, without operator involvement. This approach insures safe, secure cleaning of the glass masters.

Vacuum Metallizer

Single master vacuum metalizer is used to coat the recorded master disc with a thin layer of nickel. This nickel layer is necessary for the subsequent galvanics processes. The metalizer is fully automated and has an average cycle time of fifteen minutes.

Simple Operation

The ODC Single Master Vacuum Metalizer requires only one button press after a master glass has been loaded. From that point the process is fully automated. During deposition of the nickel layer the thickness is measured constantly. When the required thickness is reached the process is automatically completed.

Fast Cycle Time

The ODC Single Master Vacuum Metalizer is able to process four masters per hour. This is ample capacity for a single LaserWaveT LBR running CD masters at four times recording speed. As only one master is in the unit during each cycle there is no delay between master recording and metalization. This compares favorably with larger systems, where typically three recordings are made before all are metalized together. As a result the total mastering process time is reduced by as much as two hours.

Easy Cleaning

The vacuum chamber is lined with easily removable stainless steel shields. These collect all of the excess nickel produced during coating, and can be cleaned chemically in the galvanics area.

Compact Design

The ODC Single Master Vacuum Metalizer is extremely compact. The main unit (shown above) contains the process chamber, mechanical "roughing" pump, and all control electrical systems. The cryogenic pump compressor (not shown) is housed in a small enclosure that is situated alongside the main unit. A total floor area of less than one square meter is required for the entire system.

18 MEG OHM WATER PURIFICATION S YSTEM

System produces high purity water that can be used by the ODC final glass cleaning process. vA closed loop continous process constantly filters input "tap water". The water produced
has minimal particulate and organic content, making it ideal for cleaning DVD / CD glass.

Unlike other general-purpose water systems, the ODC 18 Meg Ohm Water Purification System has been designed specifically for use in the ODC Mastering Module. As a result, there are cost and space savings compared to other units. The unit is designed as an integrated part of the ODC glass cleaning process, and can be located behind the ODC glass cleaning process equipment.

Self Contained

The ODC 18 Meg Ohm Water Purification System contains all parts required to produce 18 Meg Ohm water. The unit is floor standing and can be installed in less than one hour by an ODC installation engineer.

Reliable Low Maintenance Design

The ODC 18 Meg Ohm Water Purification System requires minimal maintenance. In normal operation the system is run twenty-four hours per day. There are no adjustments required after the initial set-up, and a built in monitoring device will alert the user if water falls below a set quality. Filters require replacement every six months – a simple procedure taking only minutes. No further maintenance should be necessary.
