Magnus VLF Series 1, Series 2, and Series 3 Output Devices

Note: For customers or marketting purposes, we do not differentiate between a Series 1, Series 2, and Series 3 device—these are service related terms only.

• Series 1 devices have a TH2.7 and a TMCE board.
• Series 2 devices have a TH2.5 (for S, F and V speed) or a TH3 (for X-speed), a GMCE board, and the Productivity 1.0 upgrades.
  The Productivity 1.0 upgrades increase the device throughput and include upgrades to the unload table, picker/fetcher, MCU, and workstation.

  Magnus VLF devices that were manufactured as Series 2 devices include the following: MT149, MT150, and MT159 onwards with the exception of MT164.
  Universal carriages were only implemented on devices MT185 and later.

• Series 3 devices will include the rear ventilation fans, the edge detect camera, the shuffling ejector, the weight offloading components, a new rear hood, and an optional punch assembly. Controlled Release 4.0 will be the first controlled release that will support the new Series 3 hardware.
  Magnus VLF devices that were manufactured as Series 3 devices include MT215 and onwards.
• Series 3+ devices include the APL option, the plate funnel upgrade, the plate angler upgrade, and the second generation edge detect camera.
