Ecosystem
Cloud dependency No No
Software notes As a traditional machine tool, this model operates in a purely mechanical and manual manner. No control software, computer connection, or cloud dependency is required. Speed adjustments are made physically by moving the belts on the stepped pulleys inside the upper housing. As a traditional, entirely analog machine, it does not require any management software for its operation. The workflow is completely manual and controlled via physical switches and levers directly on the unit. There is absolutely no dependency on cloud services or network connectivity.
