Braillo 400 CS2 Braille Embosser
The world’s first and only production braille embosser using cut-sheet paper
The Braillo 400 CS2 is the world’s first production braille embosser designed for cut-sheet braille paper. It delivers true production performance on individual sheets, supporting both two-page (front/back) and four-page formats for books, magazines, and newspapers.
By eliminating the need for continuous or roll-fed paper, the 400 CS2 simplifies braille production while maintaining the consistent, high-quality output and robust engineering expected from Braillo embossers. With its introduction, Braillo now supports all braille paper formats used in production—continuous, roll-fed, and cut-sheet—and is the only manufacturer to do so.

Description
BRAILLO 400 CS2 Product Description
The Braillo 400 CS2 represents a significant advancement in braille production technology. While high-speed embossers have traditionally relied on continuous or roll-fed braille paper, Braillo has engineered a solution that enables precise, reliable sheet feeding at production speeds. This innovation allows users to produce braille on individual sheets without compromising performance, supporting both two-page-per-sheet (front/back) and four-page-per-sheet formats for books, magazines, and newspapers, as well as producing covers for braille documents—opening new possibilities for flexible document creation and streamlined workflows.
Using cut-sheet paper simplifies paper sourcing and handling, allowing users to take advantage of locally available materials and a range of paper weights. It also eliminates the need for a cutter or burster, while enabling sheets to be pre-punched for easy binding. This flexibility reduces dependency on specialized paper formats and makes it easier to integrate braille production into existing environments.
Built on Braillo’s proven production platform, the 400 CS2 delivers the same durability, reliability, and consistent braille quality trusted by leading production facilities worldwide. Designed for continuous operation, it maintains high-speed performance while ensuring optimal dot quality across every page.
With the introduction of the 400 CS2, Braillo sets a new standard in production braille embossing—combining innovation, flexibility, and performance in a single solution.

Warranty
Braillo Stands Behind Their Braille Embossers
In addition to Braillo’s standard warranty, the most comprehensive in the industry, Braillo offers warranty extensions and maintenance contracts to suit your needs. Braillo embossers are recognized for their unsurpassed braille quality and reliability – the extended warranty and maintenance contract options ensure these qualities continue.
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/American Thermoform braille paper
Braillo will offer an additional 1 year to the standard warranty by using Braillo/American Thermoform braille paper with your embosser. The use of poor quality braille paper often causes excessive wear and tear on an embosser, which causes parts to fail prematurely. Using our 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. This amounts to up to 20.8 million braille pages.
This is the industry’s most comprehensive and rich warranty, and shows that Braillo stands behind their braille embossers – no matter what.
Optional 2 Year Warranty Extension
We offer an optional 2 year extended warranty, so when our comprehensive 4 year warranty has expired, you can add an extended parts warranty for further piece of mind.
The price breakdown for the extended warranties are as follows:
300: $3,000
450: $3,500
600: $4,000
600 SR: $7,500
650 SW: $8,500
650 SF: $9,500
Please contact us so we can create the warranty plan that works best for you.
Braillo Maintenance Contracts
For additional peace of mind knowing that your braille embosser is being properly maintained on-site by American Thermoform / Braillo certified technicians, we offer maintenance contracts based on the number of service intervals and the number of embossers to be serviced. Contact us, and we will create a plan that suits your needs.

American Thermoform and Braillo offer support via telephone, email, YouTube videos and on-site repair by either American Thermoform / Braillo staff, or our network of factory-trained technicians world-wide.
