www.ersa-stringers.com NEW PRODUCTS THE TRAVELING MACHINE STRINGWAY light weight stringing machine The request for a light weight stringing machines comes from the professional players who travel from tournament to tournament. Players have a number of reasons why they want to string their own racquets: - To save cost. - The difference in stringing result between stringers of different st ringing services. - To be able to adjust the string bed to different circumstances, like court and balls. The major motivator of the project is our French agent who works a lot with young tennis pros. He motivates these players to string their own racquets. The features of the machine are: - The “constant pull” tension system works with a spring like with the Stringway foot operated MS200. A spring is a very reliable and accurate “constant Pull” driver because it can compensate for minimum loss of tension during slow elongation of the string. And it can not “overshoot” the adjusted tension like many electronic systems do. - It is very easy for the stringer to check and calibrate the stringing tension. A calibrator is supplied with the machine and the calibration screw comes out of the frame when the lever is lifted. - Tension head with automatic lock in the starting position and automatic release of the lock when a string is clamped in the tension head. - The weight of the machine is 7,3 kg including 2 flying clamps. - The tension is adjusted with the handle at the end of the frame and with a scale on top of the frame. - The tension can be raised or lowered for single pools in 0,5 kg steps with the small (red) handle behind the tension adjusting handle. - The turntable can be locked in 6 positions.
