nope, epos is the modern version of ye olde cash register/till/etc.
the card machine is an add-on device to add the card payment capability, it doesn't itemise and record sales data etc., only a total value(often sent to it by the epos) for which it does the management of the card transaction, typically online to the payment processor but offline and intermediate systems also exist, these days most also incorporate the security to manage the chip & pin verification
some epos systems support an integrated card machine, but with chip & pin it's much more typical for it to be a separate device due to the security requirements and the way payment processing tends to be donemy bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny0 -

So I told the Portuguese person who asked the original question that you said the name in English is...
a máquina de cartão é um dispositivo add-on para adicionar a capacidade de pagamento por cartão , não enumerar e dados de vendas recordes etc. , apenas um valor de total ( muitas vezes enviados a ele pela EPOS ) para que ele faz a gestão do cartão transação, normalmente on-line para o processador de pagamento , mas offline e sistemas intermediários também existem, nos dias de hoje a maioria também incorporar a segurança para gerenciar o chip e pin verificação my isetta is a 300cc bike0 -

The credit card machine is properly called a "Payment Card Terminal". Lots of people refer to them as PDQ machines, a backronym for "process data quickly" from the obvious original meaning of "pretty damn quick".
