While waiting for more parts to arrive we built up the workshop mule trap into a 12v version of the TM45. Testing starts today.

Better control, soft start/stop for oscillation

We expect to have this available early 2027 for both production and retro fit.

And yes... it can run-off 240v via a step down or from deep cycle batteries.

We’re continuing to make strong technical progress on the TargetMaster TM45.
Our engineering team is developing detailed 3D CAD models to verify tooling requirements and validate the legacy laser-cutting and folded-component drawings supplied by the previous manufacturer.
This work is a key part of our design verification process ahead of local manufacture of the primary assemblies, ensuring dimensional accuracy, manufacturability, and long-term parts support for TM45 units already operating in the field.
Our focus is on delivering a robust, production-ready outcome for the TargetMaster TM45, and we look forward to providing further technical updates as the program progresses.
