- include an intuitive HMI (human-machine interface) control panel where future updates can be made via software downloads
- are designed for easy belt changing with a gas strut cylinder take-up system to quickly track or change belts practically tool-free
- use an electronically driven maintenance door to safely access paddles for cleaning and rear bearings for maintenance
