DaTARIUS, a world-leading supplier of test equipment and process optimization solutions, will be at the Replication Expo show in 2004 with theirwide range of products, particularly analyzers focused on recordable (CD-R, DVD +/-R/RW/DL) and process optimization systems.

For Inspect, two new products make their international debut at the show. The new Multi-Format Stamper Checker, for all pre-recorded and recordable formats, measures a variety of values, including stamper thickness, roughness, and skew, as well as eccentricity of outer diameters. The New Ident Code and Print Label Inspect systems provide digital camera technology, more compact designs, and auto-adjust settings for ease of installation, use, and maintenance, while the same software platform that is used in the DaTABANK™ provides remote access control.
