| Software notes | This is a fully manual and analog machine, completely devoid of digital controls, displays, or software interfaces. All operations and speed adjustments are performed through direct mechanical setups, such as manually moving the belts across the stepped pulleys. | 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. |
