The MACH 1 Disc Repair Machine has the capacity to repair 2 discs simultaneously whilst if desired can repair 1 at a time. The MACH 2 Disc Repair Machine repairs 1 disc at a time and was introduced for those customers whom have a low volume of Discs and want to be able to repair their library one at a time whilst saving in the initial outlay of the machine. An entry-level unit with the ability to trade up to a Dual Arm at a later date.

You have seen other machines claiming to do similar repairs but the process is long and you lose track of which pad, which stage and which process you are up too and this adds not only to your frustrations but takes more time than necessary out of your hectic schedule.

Research has shown that many CD's once scratched cannot be used fully to the capacity to which they where purchased, as the disc gets little scratches on it and your CD Player, DVD Player or Computer CD ROM Drive cannot pick this data up thus causing it to skip or not play at all.

Scratches that pierce the surface of the Graphics Layer (Top Side) so that you can see light through the CD from one side to the other are beyond repair by any machine at this stage.

The MACH 1 & 2 Machines repair almost all scratches and can present your CD ROM's back to its original finish and shine so you may repair and enjoy all your favorite CD's without the hassle of buying new ones.

HOW IS A CD ROM MADE AND READ?

This would have to be the most asked question out there and I hope this clarifies it for you.

Although there are many different types of optical disks (CD ROM's) on the market today, they all function on the same general principle.

The music, picture and/or computer data they store is in digital form. This means it is comprised of millions and millions of ons and offs or zeros and ones thus the term digital.

Digital information is read from a disc by an infrared laser which projects through the clear protective plastic (Bottom side) of the disc bottom, and is reflected back to a laser reader after ricocheting off the aluminum layer (Top Side).

When the laser projects through the protective layer it reads the encoded surface that is made up of pits and lands that create the ons and offs. By reading the reflected light beam, the disc drive/player decodes this information from the disc thus outputting the information through a TV, computer screen or speakers.

A scratch deflects the laser beam to which the information cannot be read at a certain point on a track and the laser reader never receives this information or receives intermittent messages. When this happens the information does not flow thus causing a skip, a freeze in a picture or the non-starting of a CD ROM.

The smallest scratch can affect many lines of information. The most unprotected side of a disk is the topside or the graphics layer which if scratched renders the disk unusable.

All Players of CD ROM's today are effected in various ways by scratches from the age of the laser as time and usage goes on, the strength of this laser diminishes and light natural scratches can effect the reading of CD ROM's over time where newer, latest released players will have the ability to read through the very same light natural scratch!

Disk's, Disc's, CD's or CD ROMs are all based on the same format that consists of 4 separate but important layers.

1. The first layer being the Graphic Layer, which is screened onto the lacquer layer for those dynamic graphics, we see.

2. The second layer being the Reflective Foil Layer which has a micro thin layer of aluminum. This layer reflects the laser beam back through the plastic disk, allowing the stamped data to be read.

3. The third layer being the Polycarbonate Plastic Disc, which is where the data is stamped on the topside of the plastic.

4. The fourth layer being a Lacquer Layer which is dripped onto the disk at high speeds to create a thin layer of sealant for the protection of the data and disk.

Please note that the sizes of these layers are no more than a strand of human hair. Most CD ROM's can be repaired more than 50 times depending on the depth of the scratches.

HOW ARE DISCS / DISKS DAMAGED?

Scratches are the worst enemies of data on an optical disk (Music CD's, Game CD's, DVD's and CD ROMs.) Where a scratch occurs determines if your disc is repairable.

Data resides underneath the topside of the CD ROM. It is extremely important to protect this side of the disk. Manufacturers however leave this side highly exposed to scratches.

If you hold your CD ROM into the light and you can see light through a scratch then this CD ROM is irreparable.

A disc over (A Plastic laminate which adheres to the top side of the CD ROM) is best suited to protect your investment at this point in time.

A scratch that occurs on the bottom side of the disk, however, may be resurfaced or polished out. The depth of the scratch will determine the success of the repair.

You should keep an eye out for these scratches and have them repaired when they occur using a product similar to the MACH 1.
