Introduction Introduction We are proud to present the TPS-500 X2 wireless power supply system designed with the tattoo artist in focus and manufactured with the highest quality materials and components available. Working without cords gives the Tattoo artist flexibility and freedom to perform otherwise difficult movements.
Description The TPS-500 X2 is a modular system designed to allow the freedom of tattooing without a cord to the tattoo machine or the foot switch. The system can also be used without the main unit and charger bay so that the footswitch acts as a main unit communicating directly to the powerpacks, in this case a smartphone with the InkMachines app can be used to control the settings.
The Neorail (i.) should be used together with the supplied stand (j.) and USB-C to USB-C cable (c). The Neorail can only be connected to the USB-C port on the TPS-500 X2 main unit to function. The Neorail is only for use with Neo-Cartridges and can handle up to six Neo-Cartridges. The Neo- Cartridges are held magnetically to the Neorail which makes it both hygienic and easy to work with.
For each client and session always use: sterile grips new sterile needles new rubber gloves new plastic barriers for tattoo equipment; around the machine, powerpacks, TPS main unit and the Neorail. InkMachines TPS-500 X2 Rev 1.0 / 2023-02-25 6 (34)
