SWR encoding module for high-speed magnetic card personalization
High-efficiency magnetic card personalization
The SWR encoding module from Rinas is the powerful solution for the fast and precise encoding of magnetic cards.
It impresses with its ideal price-performance ratio, durable technology, and high productivity.
With a throughput of up to 6,000 cards per hour, the module is ideal for use in modern personalization and production facilities.
In addition to high speed, the SWR offers excellent coding quality, short setup times, and a maintenance-friendly design—perfect for continuous industrial use.
High-speed magnetic encoding with precision
The SWR encoder processes magnetic stripe cards in accordance with ISO 7811, AAMVA, or JIS standards and allows quick switching between HICO and LOCO (300 to 4,000 Oersted) via software.
This saves time and increases flexibility in the production process.
With the optional JIS extension, three ISO tracks and one opposite JIS track can be encoded in a single pass – ideal for international applications or special formats such as gift cards.
Even embossed, colored, or transparent cards are processed reliably.

Sustainable card personalization
Like all Rinas systems, the SWR module also follows the Think Green concept:
Only wear parts are replaced; the rest remains in use.
This reduces costs and resource consumption and ensures a long service life with consistently high coding quality.
