| Software notes | As an electromechanical machine tool, it does not require any cloud connection or external software to operate. All operations, including speed adjustment, are performed manually and directly via the physical controls located on the machine's body. | As a purely electromechanical machine, it requires no control software or network connection to operate. Speed adjustment is achieved mechanically by varying the pulley ratio, without the use of digital interfaces or touch panels, ensuring straightforward operation completely free from firmware updates or digital dependencies. |
