The rolltester ZCRT-2 is a computer controlled unit to test and personalize Smartcard modules in endless form.
Loading programs and client details takes up more and more production time. The newest processors for Smartcards have 32 kByte of FlashROM or OTP for the so-called „mask“, as well as up to 64 kBytes of E²Prom for the program. In comparison, the German health insurance card is only 256 Bytes in size. 32 kBytes are equal to 128 health insurance cards. Today’s production processes for Smartcards means mass production. Modern production lines produce one card each second. During production the Smartcard can be contacted for a maximum of 4 seconds. This time is not sufficient for larger chips. This is why ZeitControl has transferred testing and personalizing to the endless chip module roll. Roll testers work independently and if necessary 24-hours a day.
