LA93 Automatic Document Processing System

LA 93-2 (5500 docs/hr)

The LA93 system satisfies the numerous requirements of automatic document-processing.
VIPS France has built into a compact housing, a highly performant mechanical system allowing for a most reliable and fast conveying of documents, as well as the best optical and magnetic reading systems. The parallel built-in range of electronic functions ensure processing rates that are independent of the complexity of the requested functions.

The modular architecture of the LA93 system offers flexibility and diversity where configurations are concerned. Equipped with a maximum of 48 sorting hoppers, operating both as a stand-alone station and part of a network, the LA93 is a universal medium-power system intended for a standard ( roundtrip clearing, cheque image reconciliation, capture ), as well as for a specific application. Solid and efficent, the LA93 is well adapted to the intensive operating scheme of processing centers.

TECHNICAL DATA

MECHANICAL
Documents transport speed :
. main module 60 m/min
. post-encoding module 30 m/min
. sorting pockets module 50 m/min
A double set of flat belts securely transport the documents through the different modules.
All turning parts use maintenance free ball bearings.

ELECTRONICS
A net of microprocessors supervise the different functions of the reader.
The reader is interfaced to the supervisor through a set of RS232 interfaces..

COMMANDS / STATUS
Simple command and status words are exchanged through the RS 232 interface to control the different machine functions
The drivers ( such as .DLL files ) are available as an option.
