So they start off showing how the original disk is made... and then they show the robots making copies of it? I suppose its no that much work if you think about it, because its not for one CD its for like thousands.
@meatisdeliciouse DVD's are designed to have two layers (substrates) of plastic (also known as polycarbonate) with metallic layers in between. It's possible that some disc manufacturing companies make CD's on the same machines as they make DVD's, but I'm not sure if any actually do that.
I went out today and bought a packet of RW-CD's just because of this video. Aluminium is my favorite metal. I love how they use both aluminium and platic in CD's.
CDs of different capacities (CD-R): This depends on the used standard as well of the track density for e.g. 74/80/90/100 minutes. Insofar, CD-R is a different type of production also, using a pregrooved polycarbonate disc as carrier. Standard capacities for the pressed Readonly CD are 74 and 80 mins. But also smaller amounts of data are possible, e.g. Creditcard-CD (these get shaped after being pressed and printed) or 3.5 inch round CD (smaller pressing mould, ca. 185 MB Capacity)
In the Clip there is repeatedly told of "De-ionized Water". This is necessary to prevent any buildups of dust, hair particles and crystals of e.g. calcium carbonate and other natural salts and ingredients onto the master material after drying. So this special water is chemically "clean" to be used in the manufacturing process. (technically at the same quality like Battery Water /Distilled Water).
Btw: The Data are NOT direcly "etched" to the production Die!. The Data structure simply represents the mirror of the already etched metalized glass master after the selectorforming process, producing the metallic Die in an electrogalvanic bath (the green fluid where the metalized master is put into) to get a buildup of nickel and vanadium (This is the resulting Die for later mass-replication using polycarbonate).
What we don't see in the clip is the Recording process where the data are written to the photoresistant coating which has been applied to the glass disc before. This is done in a special recorder, which functions very alike to a home CD-Recorder. After recording, the data pits are "stitched" into the coating and are then developed using de-ionized water and flouride acid (which is able to etch glass).
After this developing process, the data are permanently engraved to the glass master disc.
For a Double-Layered DVD, two separate Glass Masters as well as two separate pressing negatives are produced, additionally this is an even more delicate process (extensive cleanliness) because of the much higher track densities on these discs since much smaller particles could disturb the recording quality on a DVD.
The process of duplication consists of three sequential pressing steps, where a thin layer of polycarbonate is applied after the first layer, thereafter the second layer is applied.
@SolveSoul It is a lot of work for a CD, but the manufacturing process has become so streamlined and quality standards so high that the overall cost for an individual CD is insignificant. If you think about it, just one of those "stampers" (the metallic discs from which CD's/DVD's are made) can produce tens of thousands of discs each.
This is how the 'mother' cd is made. The mother will make at least thousands of copies, probably tens or thousands. This method is used when you want 1000 cds or more, when burning them one by one takes too long. This isn't how they make each CD. The individual CD's are made after the 2:33 penis goes to work. You can see it takes about two seconds to make eac disc once the injection mold is working. Tens of times less than a CD burner.
I had a friend once who worked in duplication and indeed smaller batches we're burned. But bigger batches send off to the cd/dvd duplication part of the building. The point where they accepted jobs was about 1000 cd's.
If you had less you would just have to get through the burn process.
Back when I worked making Cd's and Laserdisc's we didn't have cd/ dvd burners this was back in the late 1980's. The press recycle time's were 14 sec's per disc (1987) in 1989 the press were updated too make disc's at 7 seconds.
Also this was back before the "monoline machine" was out so we had a room with seperate machines to make the disc's and a 4 color printer.
@mmichaelc In response to your working in the late 80's at a disc manufacturing plant. Nowadays, the CD cycle time is down to about 1 every 4-4.5 seconds. DVD's have a shorter cycle time. We no longer use the printing tables for our monoline machines. There were too many problems with trying to print on a disc still hot from the molding/sputtering/coating process, plus the design of the print tables made precise alignment very difficult.
they invented the disc because they wanted a smaller and larger capacity storage device rather then using a huge cassette for watching movies and other stuff.
