Q-Card Laboratories Continues to Expand Bar Code and Chip Card Testing Capabilities
SUNBURY, PA – June 11, 2009 – Q-Card, one of the most trusted card and ticket testing laboratories and test equipment manufacturers in the card industry, has announced two new products designed to test the accuracy of different types of bar codes, as well as chip card durability.
Q-Card specially modified the new LVS Bar Code Verifier to grade most 1D and 2D bar codes in compliance with ISO standards on various label sizes and finished products with flat or rounded sides. Bar codes can be easily tested by connecting the verifier via a USB cable to the customer's computer and placing the bar code on the viewing stage. The Verifier also features a 6" x 4" field of view on the optional high density unit and easy to use software that supports various standards and symbologies.
The 3-Wheel Tester is designed for testing chip cards under different levels of stress. Wheels are transversely positioned with micromechanical stops and exercise pressure on the card’s chip and micro-circuitry. With a programmable amount of cycles, the chip card test is controlled by a precise force sensor.
“We continue to make investments in this equipment because we know many companies rely on Q-Card Laboratories to be cutting-edge and current,” said Karen Nickolauson, CEO of Q-Card. “We're pleased to be able to expand further into bar code testing, while also providing another level of durability testing for chip cards.”
Located in the company's Sunbury, Pennsylvania facility, Q-Card Laboratories provide third party card and ticket testing services, as well as on-site consulting to leading card manufacturers around the world.
