Equipment of this type is the first one designed and produced in Russia and the first stand-alone SM Contact Engineering project that the company plans to produce on a mass scale. The presentation to regional authorities and test run were held with a national flavor (women in folk dresses, treats of national cuisine such as patty-cakes perepechki). The event was successful thanks to tight cooperation of “Glazov. Electron” and SMCE team on the spot.
