Some quotes from the films about ATVA™

much smoother…, jumps much less…,less tired after a working day

The workers about ATVA™ in comparison to standard machines

Without ATVA™ technology we would not have been able to use robots

The CEO

When we found out how to automatically adjust the absorbing unit to any vibration frequency, we knew we had it

The research leader, Hans Lindell

Stone work will always to some degree be manual and it has to be attractive

The CEO

With ATVA™, the vibrations are lowered by 80-90%

The technical manager

Vibrations also destroy machines, that is why we also have ATVA on a robot

The technical manager

The machines may meet the legal requirements, but they are not safe for the workers to use

The site manager

We were forced to build the machine ourselves, now we want a manufacturer to do it

The CEO
