New mechanism Pitasystem from the beginning20140617_PITpower_d_4
The new mechanism Pitasystem has been developed in response to the fact that it is possible to slip into the sky at the beginning of painting. When it is finished, the reel is rotated slightly and the glue tapes advances about one millimeter. In this idling mechanism, the adhesive tape always fills the head tip. This is what we call “Pitasystem”. The structure, when pressed against the paper, the head moves about 5 millimeters upward, and supports the paper to adhere with a uniform force. The head returns to the original position when the body is released from the paper after it fills. Applying the force back to the head, the tape reel is finely rotated to advance the tape about one millimeter, feed the adhesive tape to the head, and prepare for the next use.

In addition, the glue tapes of this product is light transparent blue, so you can see the place where it was applied by eyes.
