Christian Record Services, Inc. Acquires New Braillo Machine

In May, the Christian Record Services, Inc. (www.christianrecord.org) staff received and installed a new machine in their facility, the Braillo Cut machine. The Braillo will simplify their braille production process by requiring less manpower by automating specific tasks.

The Braillo offers an attractive standalone option for cutting continuous braille paper in a flexible and modular design. By removing any signs of perforations from all four sides of the page, it will provide a clean-looking finished document.

Before adding this machine, the Christian Record staff would remove the edges of the braille paper and also separate each perforated page by hand, a process called “bursting”. It will also be safer for employees who have had to deal with the dust that is created by separating the pages manually.

The Braillo Cut machine is made in Germany and is “braille modified” in Norway.
