ABSTRACT:
A continuous process line for producing computer cartridges includes a closing station for squeezing cover portions of the cartridges together, followed by a connection station to permanently secure the cover portions together, followed by a station to mark the cartridges for identification. The closing station includes two low friction surfaces such as rollers and/or fixed slides with low friction surfaces, which taper together to close a partially folded one piece snap together PCMCIA card cover. The connection station includes a Nd:YAG laser welder with inert gas to laser weld lap joints at the seams of the snap-together cartridges. The marking station includes an applicator for applying preprinted labels to the cartridges. An automatic controller senses the positions of the cartridges as they move down the line and initiates the securing and marking of the cartridges depending on the position of the cartridges.
