Eric Michaud The mechanisms of the whole machine have been studied so that the movement of each saw is smooth and vibration-free at whatever speed it runs. •Simplicity – because the whole system has been designed to minimize the variety of mechanical and electrical components, meaning that hydraulics have finally been replaced with electrical devices, Carbotech reports. “We’re not 100 percent electric yet, but we’re getting close,” stated Michaud. “We are offering our best to the market: systems that millwrights and electricians are comfortable to work with in order to minimize downtime when something wrong happens.
