BRAILLO 650 SF2
The industry’s only production braille embosser for fully-automated book, magazine and newspaper creation
The Braillo 650 SF2 is the world’s only fully automated braille book and magazine production system. Embossing in four-page-per-sheet format, the transcriber simply sends a file, and the embosser completes the entire process—producing a finished, folded, covered, and stapled braille book, magazine, or newspaper. This capability makes on-demand braille publishing a reality.
A key feature of Braillo embossers—especially valuable during social distancing—is their network capability, allowing transcribers to send files remotely. With its extended uninterrupted runtime, the 650 SF2 enables a single operator to manage the system, collecting and preparing finished braille books, magazines, and newspapers for immediate shipment.
Benefits of Owning a Braillo Embosser:
True Production Braille
To meet the rigorous demands of high-volume, professional braille production, an embosser must be engineered with durable, high-quality components designed for long-term reliability and performance. Braillo stands apart as the only manufacturer of braille embossers built to consistently deliver on this standard of excellence. See The Braillo Difference.
The world's most trusted and reliable braille translation software, Duxbury, is included free with the purchase of a Braillo braille printer. See Details
Highest Quality Braille Paper
Since 1988, in collaboration with American Thermoform Corporation, Braillo has manufactured its own custom braille paper, produced in accordance with the highest industry standards. The result is a strong, durable, low-dust, chemical-free paper designed to produce crisp, well-defined braille dots that retain their shape after being read multiple times.
In addition to delivering superior readability, the paper’s exceptional quality also helps reduce wear on your braille embosser, contributing to extended equipment life and consistent performance over time. Learn more about our braille paper.
Leading Warranty In the Industry
Braillo’s 4 year embosser warranty is the most comprehensive in the industry…
Braillo covers the first 3 years
For all Braillo models, the standard warranty covers any defective mechanical and electrical component from the date of delivery throughout the first three years, or up to 8,000 hours – whichever comes first. This amounts to up to 15.6 million braille pages. By the time most embossers have become obsolete or stopped working, Braillo embossers are still under warranty!
Braillo adds an additional 1 year for using Braillo/ATC braille paper
Braillo will offer an additional 1 year to the standard warranty by using Braillo/ATC braille paper. The use of poor quality braille paper often causes excessive wear and tear on an embosser, which causes parts to fail prematurely. Using Braillo/ATC’s specially formulated braille paper will help ensure these risks are minimized.
This brings the total warranty to 4 years, or up to 10,700 hours and 20.8 million embossed braille pages.
World Class Support
Braillo provides comprehensive global support through multiple channels, including telephone, video, email, YouTube tutorials, and on-site service performed by either Braillo staff or our network of factory-trained technicians worldwide.
In addition, Braillo hosts training sessions and Braille workshops around the world throughout the year, ensuring users have access to expert guidance and hands-on learning opportunities
BRAILLO 650 SF2 Product Details
BRAILLO 650 SF2 Product Description
The Braillo 650 SF2 braille embosser features a precision paper cutter for four-page-per-sheet (magazine/newspaper) formats. This heavy-duty system is ideal for producing braille magazines and textbooks. Once the sheets are embossed, the machine automatically adds a cover, staples, and folds them to create a complete, finished braille book. Simply send the document to the embosser, and a fully assembled book is produced with minimal intervention.
Using braille paper rolls helps reduce costs and eliminates the need for a burster and operator. Each roll produces approximately 15,000 braille sheets (30,000 interpoint pages), allowing a full day of uninterrupted production without reloading paper.
Designed for high-volume production, the 650 SF2 embosses 1,950 pages per hour. Its robust, heavy-duty construction ensures continuous operation while maintaining optimal braille quality. As production demands grow, the 650 SF2 is engineered to meet your needs and exceed expectations.
Built with production teams in mind, the unit is free of external cables, includes an emergency shutoff switch, and features precise alignment systems to ensure reliable, high-speed performance. Backed by a hassle-free four-year warranty, the Braillo 650 SF2 allows your business to produce braille efficiently, profitably, and at the highest quality for end users.
