The Kubus MTS 5000 also comes with a precise ribbon length adjustment per each string so that no additional ribbon cutting is required and overall ribbon consumption is claimed to be lower than with traditional stringer systems. Material cost savings are claimed to be approximately €75,000 per year.
M10 Industries noted that it had already completed pre-acceptance tests by a customer for two Kubus systems and were ready for shipping.
