Product Positioning in the market

Our motorized skein-winders and swifts are commercial grade equipment items. They are not consumer grade products (although many consumers will purchase them). This is the type of equipment that professionals, shop owners, and fiber related businesses need and demand.

The equipment is expensive, yes, but it is far less expensive than if a large company  (with high overhead) was designing and manufacturing it. This equipment could easily sell for 1-1/2 times of what we list it for given the amount of engineering and the quality of materials and construction that go into every item.

We design a complete line of integrated products that share certain features and integration. There is no other company in the industry that has such a complete line of winders and measurement systems.
 
So, when you look at the price for this equipment, please take all of this into consideration. This equipment is rock solid and will last a long time. But most importantly, it will get the job done for you in World Class style. It also looks great! Designed and manufactured in the USA with USA based support via 1-800 line and email.

Bob's Commentary

"
Well, I was really impressed with our Swift and Skein-winder products when we developed them in 2010. But I must say, that our motorized option for these units are even more impressive. We launched these motor drive systems in 2011. They incorporated the integration of our new Electronic Rotation Counter and our existing Electronic Yarn Meter. But more importantly, they could be added onto existing swifts and skein-winders already in the field. Just like our motorized Power Base could be easily added to ball winders in the field, now this new motor drive system could motorize swifts and skein-winders."

"Plus these units are slick. One bolt attaches the unit to the swift. This same bolt allows the user to add or subtract tension to the belt. Attractive and functional, the motor drive option is also highly ergonomic. Another fantastic feature is that the new ERC can shut down the motor drive when a specific qty of yards, meters, or even rotations has been measured. Even if our competitors could match the mechanical excellence of our swift mechanism, they cannot match our electronic measurement systems. All together, these systems are the most advanced available in the fiber arts industry."

"If you require state-of-the-art motorized and metered winding systems, we have what you need under one roof. Complete integration of hardware and USA support."
