The ARC Standard Mark 2 is designed for advanced reloaders, offering a range of features that significantly enhance ease of use and consistency. Let’s explore its capabilities:
Compact Footprint
The ARC Standard Mark 2 features a compact design, making it ideal for limited workspaces. Even when you add a feeder, it still requires minimal space, ensuring that your bench remains uncluttered. Despite its small size, this device delivers powerful performance.
Motorized Height Control
With motorized height control, users can make precise adjustments and easily set the optimal height for annealing brass cases. Each step corresponds to approximately 0.4 mm, and counting begins from the bottom position.
User-Friendly Touch Screen GUI
The touch screen interface simplifies navigation and configuration. You can intuitively access settings and memory locations, with the interface designed to keep the process straightforward. Additionally, the user experience remains smooth and efficient.
Memory Locations and Custom Names
You can store up to 1,000 setups in memory slots, with the option to assign custom names to each location. This feature enhances organization and allows for quick recall. Moreover, the selected setting and name are always displayed on all screens, reducing the likelihood of confusion.
Multi-Language Support
The ARC Standard Mark 2 currently supports English, Afrikaans, Czech, and Slovak. As the market expands, we will add more languages to meet user needs, ensuring a broader appeal.
Annealing Modes
This device offers multiple annealing modes:
- Glow-based annealing: It monitors color variance to achieve precise results.
- Time-based annealing: This mode allows you to set specific annealing durations, providing control over the process.
- Pulse mode: Particularly effective for modern cases with steep thickness gradients, this mode ensures consistency in challenging applications.
Connectivity and Future-Readiness
The ARC annealer includes Bluetooth capability, which allows for potential future enhancements. The USB-C port supports firmware upgrades, ensuring the device remains adaptable. However, it is important to note that these USB ports should not be used for other functions, such as charging your mobile phone.
Cooling and Power
The air-cooled design efficiently manages heat, so your ARC annealer stays cool during operation. Although testing was conducted with a 600W device, it typically operates in the 400W range. Furthermore, the AC power supply, which can be switched between 115V and 240V AC, reflects the high quality of Meanwell products.
Statistical Insights
The ARC Standard Mark 2 displays average, minimum, and maximum time or glow values, which aids in statistical analysis. You can sort and fine-tune your annealing process accordingly. Additionally, the total number of anneals performed over the instrument’s lifespan is displayed, offering valuable insights into its usage.
Delivery Time
If the ARC Standard Mark 2 is not in stock, you can expect delivery within 3 to 4 weeks. Therefore, it’s advisable to plan your purchase accordingly.
In summary, the ARC Standard Mark 2 combines innovation, precision, and user-friendly features for reloaders seeking excellence.
