Automatic Magnetic Stripe Mounting Machine

A magnetic stripe reader commonly known as a magstripe Machinery, is a device capable of reading and writing information from magnetic stripe cards. Magnetic stripe cards are a type of card-shaped magnetic recording medium widely used in areas such as bank cards, credit cards, and access control cards. Made of plastic material, these cards have one or more magnetic tracks on the back for storing information. This information can be read and written by a magstripe card, including personal identification information and financial account details.

The working principle of a magstripe Machinery is primarily based on magnetic field induction. The magnetic track on a magstripe card is composed of many tiny magnetic particles that can flip their magnetic orientation in response to a magnetic field. When a magstripe card reads the stripe, it generates a strong alternating magnetic field over the stripe. The frequency and direction of this field correspond to the data on the stripe. The magnetic head senses changes in the magnetic field, which are then converted into electrical signals. After amplification and processing, these signals are decoded back into data information. The decoding algorithm identifies the data by comparing the induced current with pre-stored standard waveforms.

Magstripe card have several advantages, including portability, durability, and a relatively large storage capacity. Their applications are extensive, with the most common being credit card transactions. During the payment process, merchants use a magstripe card to read the information on the bank card’s stripe, which is then transmitted to the payment system. The system verifies the user’s identity and account information and carries out the appropriate payment operations. Additionally, magstripe card are used in access control systems, vending machines, ATMs, and other places for user authentication, access control, and data storage functions.
