Enhancements on AART Series 042
With the new model, we have comprehensively revised both the visual and the technical design. At the same time, we were able to fundamentally change our production processes and now offer you a very robust machine housing of the highest quality and modern appearance, which is also very easy to maintain due to its quick-release fasteners.
