What type of mounting systems are available on current model stringing machines?
Current model stringing machines use one of three possible mounting systems: two-point, four-point or six-point mounting systems. Two-point mounting systems offer both head (tip) and throat support, four-point mounting systems also provide a pair of supports to the side of the frame, and six-point systems offer 2 pair (or a total of 4) side supports. • What is the difference between floating clamp, fixed clamp, and swivel clamp model stringing machines? Models with a floating clamp (also called a flying clamp or speed clamp) tend to be less expensive, but they need to clamp two strings at a time to maintain proper string tension. Fixed-clamp stringing machines are categorized as either glide bar-clamp or swivel-clamp models. Glide bar-clamp stringing machines have two glide bar clamps attached to the glide bar tray table; swivel-clamp stringing machines have two swivel clamps attached to the swivel turntable. • What kinds of materials are used to make stringing clamps?
