Our trip to Sony DADC was wonderful.
There was so much new to learn. We have a Subject – “Computer Systems”, which
is more of theory and less of practical.
So our visit to Sony DADC helped us understand the subject better and it
was fun.
We knew what CDs, DVDs, Blu-Ray Disks
are but we had never seen how the data is stored. The Engineers showed us a
small presentation on the manufacturing of Disks and then later took us around
the place.
Before we could enter inside the room
where the production was going on we were given few clothes to wear. These were
white clothes with white shoes. We had to wear these because the area we were
entering was a dust free area.
We first saw how disks are made, how
the melted plastic is molded and data is stored, the machines were pretty quick
and created over 100 disks in 1 minute. That was followed by a cooling section
and then kept on racks.
After that the disk racks were taken
to another machine where shiny aluminum layer was added. After that we had the
Printing process.
The Printing Process was amazing; I
never thought it was that quick and easy. In this process 5 different color
layers are used and then we get the final print.
After that we went to the packing place,
which was the only thing that did not require machines.
After thanking the group we came home
with fond memories. It was very helpful for my studies and also for general
knowledge.
