New machine by Special Technique

[Brian]

Finished the very first Traxis Lite, it weighs 140 grams or 5oz. The Ultra Lite version will be next on the list, made from Delrin..

The Traxis line of machines all have dual roller bearings on the armature pivot and the track is driven by a bearing system as well. All moving parts on these machines are fitted with high quality bearings..

The bearings and linear track drive allow the armature to remain very straight and tight, no side wobble at all resulting in a very accurate machine..

Here is a shot of the 7.5oz brass Traxis next to the 5oz Traxis Lite:

Picture of Brass Traxis #5 of 5, We decided to run another batch of these so 5 more are entering build..
So far these are not production, I hand turn all of these on the mill one crank at a time....

Yes, that was a Workhorse Irons machine in the demo, all of our machines will run off USB including the Traxis model..

You need to develop an app now to make it run off an ipad and allow it to be controlled.

That's an excellent idea, might have to settle for a small box with a speed control knob for the moment..
