FAQ difference between Quantum TT Premium and ECO configurations.
Q: What is the difference between a Quantum TT Premium and an ECO version?
A: Technically,
the LaserFibre Quantum TT is a single machine that is offered in two
configurations. Each one shares the same mounting, clamping and full
constant pull and Single Pull / Any Angle tensioning. The only
difference is that the Premium comes with the Sensory Tension Jaw
system pre-installed and for the ECO it is not pre-installed but is an
upgradeable option. The Sensory Tension Jaw is simply a convenience
feature that makes the stringing proccess a little easier and faster
for the operator by reducing the number of steps in the pulling
proceedure to fewer than that of a hand crank machine. For those
stringers on a tighter budget, the Quantum TT ECO delivers all the same
accuracy, quality and ease of operation of the Quantum TT Premium, plus
the option to later upgrade at a lower starting price. Call or email
for more details.
FAQ's about Constant Pull tensioning - Automatic Tension Control.
Q:
Do I have to pull tension 2 or 3 times on every string to get the lever
horizontal to be accurate with a Quantum like you have to regular drop
weight machines?
A: NO. Only one single pull is all that is
needed with a Quantum. Tension accuracy is achieved when the lever
stops in any position. So in that respect, a Quantum is as easy to work
as a static pull hand crank machine but delivers the accuracy of a
constant pull digital electronic machine.
Q: What exactly is a Constant Pull stringing machine?
A: Constant pull in a stringing machine means that the stringing machine itself can automatically
adjust and correct for tension loss during stringing. Constant pull
automatically maintains the desired tension without any assistance or
interference by the operator. Think of it as "cruise control" for a
stringing machine. That is why we also refer to constant pull as
Automatic Tension Control. Constant pull stringing machines provide the
most effortlessly accurate, consistent and longest lasting string jobs.
Q: Are all drop weight type machines constant pull?
A:
NO. This is one of the biggest myths about stringing machines. Since
accurate tensions on an ordinary drop weight stringing machine can only
be achieved when the tensioning lever comes to stop on its own in a
horizontal position, any movement of the tensioning lever after that
point simply means the tension is changing away
from the correct tension. Because the tensioning lever on the Quantum
can stop in any position and be 100% accurate, movement of the lever
means the string is losing tension and the Quantum is automatically
returning the string to the correct tension. This is absolutely not
possible on ordinary drop weight machines.
Q: Does constant pull stretch all the life out of the string?
A:
NO. All constant pull does is automatically maintain each string that
you tension at the selected tension until it stabilizes. It is not
"over-stretching" the string or applying extra tension.
FAQ's about mounting systems.
Q: Which is better, 6-point suspension mounting or inside support mounting?
A:
"Better" is not really the best way to put it. Depending on the quality
of the stringing machine, both types can be either really good or
really poor. Assuming we're talking about a high quality machine like a
Quantum (6-point suspension) or a Prince Neos (inside frame support),
it is safe to say that both mounting systems provide more than adequate
support to the racquet. Choosing one over the other is more personal
preference than anything else.
Q: Why did LaserFibre switch to a 6-point suspension system from the inside system?
A:
As a general rule, LaserFibre did not change mounting systems because
we thought one was "better" than the other. However, there is a
distinct advantage that 6-point suspension systems have over inside
frame support systems. That is that 6-point suspension systems are
infinitely more universal in providing full support and protection to
all racquet types compared to inside frame support systems. 6-point
suspension systems are also easier, faster and more foolproof to use
than our previous inside support mounting system.
In
other words, inside frame support systems like our older generation
MS200 series machines generally need a wide variety of special adapters
in order to properly secure many racquets. Attempting to string a
racquet without those adapters, the stringer runs the risk of causing
damage to the racquet. Several times each year, there can be a lag
between new racquets introductions and the availability of an adapter
that may be necessary for proper and secure mounting for inside frame
systems. Properly designed 6-point suspension mounting systems are more
universal to all racquet types and very rarely do they ever require a
special adapter in order to provide 100% support. |
