The
SMARTractor
is a versatile high-precision
positioning and measuring instrument for use with
phono tonearms and turntables.
It covers all areas of the geometric tonearm
alignment with high precision mechanical
accuracy.
It also allows for precise measurement of
Pivot-to-Spindle (P2S) mounting distance -
of any given tonearm.
SMARTractor
offers true 1-point cartridge
alignment to the tonearm, with a
selection of
5 different tangential curves
to choose from.
As the
SMARTractor
operates with true
tri-angular positioning, it applies to all pivot
tonearms, regardless of the effective length,
mounting distance or specific geometry a given
tonearm may ask for.
To ensure highly precise measurement, the
SMARTractor
comes with a special designed
vernier scale.
This SMARTractor’s vernier scale provides
accuracy in read-out of 5/100 mm.
Precise analog tonearm alignment is impossible
without precise centering.
The
SMARTractor
is supplied with an universal
2-part spindle-adapter to ensure precise fitting on
the platter spindle and perfect centering without
play.
Please check your
SMARTractor
package to
ensure that all contents are included.
All the above parts must be included to provide
perfect function under all circumstances.
Each
SMARTractor
was carefully checked and
tested prior to shipment.
Please do get yourself familiar to the handling and
use of the
SMARTractor
.
While it is a mechanical positioning instrument, it
needs a minimum of attention to detail by the user
to obtain the maximum precise results it ensures if
handled correctly.
