Has anyone heard the brand "Trion"? This brand is quite famous in S.Korea and hardly found outside the country. One says that Trion is badminton engineering company that provides technical consulting to the badminton brands; I am not sure whether this is true or not. Anyways, they have beautiful string machine. It's only US$6000.00
similar OEM machines have been posted before. the major issue with this design is the lack of adjustment for the main posts. as a result of the lack of adjustment, it is not possible to adjust the distance between the side support. which may not be ideal spacing for supporting a badminton racket. most of these big electronic machines are usually designed for tennis and not size properly for badminton use.
Does Poreex Industrial Co Ltd based in TW? And have you heard the TRION company which specialized in badminton engineering tech? I met a guy. He introduces himself that he is one of 7 badminton engineer in the world. I hardly believe that.
Anybody know where I might get some of those octagon-shaped badminton supports shown in the last large picture?
You can buy from this site but... I am not sure they will ship international. http://toyoz.co.jp/online/
In other word, a slight modification is warranted. http://www.badmintoncentral.com/for...3-pro-s-pro-comet-1-stringing-machine-review?
There is solution for that, since the turntable is make out of one solid piece of metal, just drill 2 set of holes for each main posts, so now you have 3 setting for closer side support. I did that before with the machine Plus-8000, it work. (in reality just drill one set, the original for tennis, the new drill hole for badminton)
I've just bought a Comet (the purple one) and am in the process of modding the nuts off it. I'll detail it in the Comet thread, but in short, the stock shoulder supports are too smooth and too hard, allowing baddy rackets to slide around.
If you're referring to the old Eagnas/Pro's Pro machines, then all we have in common are the Michals - he's got the WISE, after all. I'm proper OCD, so I took mine right down to the nuts and bolts and rebuilt it. The clamp bases fly around at the slightest touch, yet lock absolutely solid with no play, and I rammed my turntable bearing full of grease, so it's the same (in fact, it may be too sensitive). Basically, just adding Loctite to nuts and bolts to keep them where they're supposed to be - works wonders. The Comet is slightly more complex, but not much so - the most annoying aspect is that they've used straight blocks on the bottom of the clamp bases... which run in curved rails, but the play diminishes out to the ends, so knot tying isn't affected. Kwun, I'll put some pics of the Comet "in the alltogether" in the Comet thread - it's turned into a nice little project...
