January 17th 2013

Same functionality
Same appearance
Better quality
Same life time
Improvements

 2.5L canister option

 Turn table positioning
 Refilling access
 Pump repeatability & power
 Easy service
Turn table positioning

 Single sensor underneath turntable

 Constant fixed distance between sensor and metal of turntable
No longer problems due to non vertical pumps
 Detection on sharp edges instead of round tubes
More accurate & reliable
 Home position detected by double length gap in turntable
Home position verification every time double gap passes sensor at full speed

Home

 Service advantages
 Better accessibility
 Easier to adjust distance
Position
 Only one sensor to adjust sensor

Valve actuator

 Simplified design D-hole +

Rounded Fixing screw
 One piece plastic valve actuator handle edges for
reliable
 Connected with D-hole
D hole + screw to shaft switching

 Valve motor is same as turntable motor

Very powerful motor for just valve operation

Improved Stepper Motor and PCB

 New Stepper Motor

 Due to lower friction in guidance system; pumping force has
increased.

 Board
 Existing TM300 1.0 spare part board also fits in TM300 1.1
No need for extra spare parts!!
