The Swashplate
The swashplate mechanism that drives the needle action is
a very efficient means
to convert the rotational motion of
the electric motor
to the reciprocating motion
of the needle
producing
an approximate advantage of 15:1.
The swashplate delivers a sine wave motion - constant
needle velocity -
throughout the cycle producing a
smooth non-stopping continuous motion
as compared to the
stop and start of conventional crank, cam (2-dimension) and
coils.
Only the swashplate can make use of all
3-dimension axes to create
the natural fluid cyclic
reciprocating action that produces
a constant "brush-like"
artistry feel experienced by fine art painting.
A small precision bearing has been added in the anvil
area to remove
the "rock-over" that was so hard on grommets
and nipples.
The Anvil area is now part of the C shape pivot clip.
Included are 4 replacement "C-Clips" with every machine.

Power supplies
The Gen 6 Swashdrive will run on almost any power supply, but we strongly recommend the use of a quality bridge rectified Dual lab Instek, for the clean DC. Cheap single knob supplies with heaps of ripple & noise will reducing motor life somewhat.
Tested & Endorsed power
supplies for this machine.
Genuine GW Instek lab
Isotech lab (Model IPS303DD,
RS Components
part # 3256004)
The power supply should have no more than
Ripple & Noise ≥1.0mVrms ( 5Hz~1MHz )
(rating current <3A )
Tested and endorsed:
Genuine GW Instek, Isotech Lab
Set Power Supply
before starting Swash
Gen VI:
This is important on START-UP to deliver full amps
and then
settle to what the machine draws at desired voltage.
-
SET at ZERO Volts
-
SET at FULL AMPS
- Hit foot pedal and use Voltage knob to increase speed.

We apologize to tattoo people
looking for detailed info on the Swashdrive. We had to remove a lot
of content from
www.swashdrive.com.au because PARASITE SUPPLIERS were using the
Tech Help info to clone a
GOLD COLOR KNOCKOFF of our hard earned invention. Don't be
fooled.
The Swashdrive is a high tech device with quality components!
