Can you explain the hexdrive system?

got my order in -thanks gaston for putting in so much hard work into this machine.

Thank you, and thank you all for the orders!

Can you explain the hexdrive system?

Sure Crabs..

The HexDrive MotorBolt system is a new mechanism we designed. We were looking for a One MotorBolt System that can be used
vertically or Horizontally giving us freedom to design any type of machine no mater what the motor orientation or technology we choose (Slider, direct drive, Swash, cam Barrel, etc)
The idea of the HexDrive system was gestated at the very early design stage of the Vortex, later renamed to "Aura", about 3 years ago.

We worked really hard trying it all, until we nailed it.

So this system consist of a MotorBolt system, that, instead of having a cam attached, has a Hex Gear attached to the motor. (Removable)
When the MotorBolt is locked in the MachineBody, the hex gear, plugs automatically in a Cam module, that's attached to a machine and constrained by a bearing. This allows the cam to sling perfectly concentrically without any axial load on the cam or motor shaft. This drastically reduces vibration and dramatically extends the life of the motor.

Thanks to the shape and design of Both HexGear and StrokeModule, the gear will always mate with ease with the female receiver of the StrokeModule.

The New HexDrive MotorBolt System is much more streamlined that previous version, does not have any screws, it's now mirror polished and it has deeper and larger groves
for better gripping. It's also lighter.

We have several machines in the works and all this future machines are working with this new HexDrive MotorBolt system.
The system has a patent in progress to protect our hard work for almost 3 years.

The system also allows us to design machines with in-Body cams. meaning that one motor will power different bodies with different strokes, where before you would have to have
Several Motors or change the strokes in the middle of a tattoo.

Having in-Body StrokeWheels allows the artist to have dedicated machines will dealing with just one bagged motor.

But the HexDrive System is not the only feature that makes this machine unique. The Spektra Direkt, features a new adjustable Stroke System, that consist of cap with a set positioning of the bearing, setting automatically the stroke without the need to slide or eyeball any moving part.
This design helped us to achieve the adjustable module without making the part bulky and keeping it streamlined. The screws that secure the StrokeCaps are also inlaid so you can even see them.

Each StrokeCap comes marked with dots. The come with every machine purchase along with the allen key to interchange them.
Available strokes are 3-3.5-4mm

This machine is virtually maintenance free. No parts to clean or grease.
The Spektra Direct Body can be also be autoclaved and/ or sanitized upon removal of MotorBolt.

The HexDrive MortorBolt system will fit the Halo (upon removing Hex Gear and re attaching a conventional StrokeWheel to the motor)
However since this system requires precise concentricity, we do not suggest using a Halo MotorBolt System in a Direkt as any slight misalignment could damage the motor.

Thank you to all the orders we received and I hope you enjoy this little machine.
She was like giving birth almost!
