Abstract:
1. A credential manufacturing device comprising: a first hopper configured to contain a plurality of card substrates, the first hopper including an output port through which individual card substrates are discharged; a first processing path; a first processing device in the first processing path configured to perform a first process on individual card substrates in the first processing path; a substrate shuttle positioned between the first hopper and the first processing path and configured to move relative to the first hopper and the first processing path along a horizontal shuttle path that is transverse to the first processing path, the shuttle configured to receive individual card substrates from the output port of the first hopper, transport received card substrates along the shuttle path, and deliver received card substrates to the first processing path; a shuttle drive configured to drive movement of the substrate shuttle along the shuttle path; and a second processing device positioned adjacent the shuttle path and configured to perform a process on individual card substrates supported in the substrate shuttle.
