INVIS by Lamello
Booth #4755
Mx2 Starter Kit
The INVIS Mx2 Starter Kit now has everything you need to get started. Drilling and inserting of the new Mx2 fasteners is now even easier and faster. The Mx2 Minimag is an adaptor that attaches to any standard drill with 1200-1500 RPM. The rotating magnet is 50 percent larger with more powerful clamping of the joint. The screw within the fastener threads itself into the inside thread of the stud-driver by the contact-free magnetic field. To open the fastener, simply reverse the direction of the drill. The actuator is in a clear casing allowing visibility of the rotation of the magnet. You are able to see if the fastener is opening or closing. The INVIS Mx2 Minimag is part of the patented joinery system based upon the use of virtual magnetic non-contact activated fasteners. The Mx2 Minimag makes it possible to make completely invisible joints that are easy to lock and detach. INVIS is based on the principle of a fastener driven by a small VMM (virtual magnetic motor) contained within the fastener. This rare earth magnet is activated by an external, non-contact, power source called the INVIS Actuator (Mx2 Minimag). The Mx2 Minimag, and ergonomically designed, battery powered, hand held unit that activates the VMM, which causes the fastener to rotate in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction thus making it possible for the joints to be firmly secured or detached with equal ease.
