After extensive development, I present to you the SOM II Automater, the first commercially available system that moves the striking point of a spanking machine on which it's being used. The Automater is self-contained and smart... it uses it's own microcomputer to drive a microactuator based on your instructions. The Automater secures between the SOM II or SOM II XP and its standard mount. With the SOM II head aimed perpendicular to the Automater, this system moves the striking point across a range of up to 4", horizontally, vertically, or at any angle in between.
User control over the Automater's movement starts when you flip the Power switch. The system initializes by zeroing the actuator to a fully retracted position. Using the Set button, you then mark the maximum extension, up to 4" from full retraction. This constrains the Automater's movement until the system is powered up again. The Automater then keys off your spanker's strokes. The Speed knob provides motion from none (0) to a fairly rapid movement. Across the knob's range, motion can be set to act every 1, 2, or 3 strokes. Distance per move is adjustable within this range.
Useful with any of the SOM II's effectors, the Automater is especially effective with the caning attachment. It can literally paint an area of your target with caning welts, if that's your desire! In use, you can pause the Automater's movement by turning the knob to 0, or of course adjust the movement speed throughout its available range.
A 9V battery provides independant power to the Automater. It's precision microactuator is nearly silent, and in combination with a linear encoder provides exacting and repeatable motion to the system.
