We always like to know how our customers use our products, whether that’s in robust industrial applications or something more delicate.

Just a couple of days before Christmas, a customer in Spain contacted us about one such delicate application. Fran Alfaro uses standard MSL solenoids, typically deployed in a wide variety of long-life applications, to automatically punch paper tape rolls for music boxes. Take a look at the YouTube video.

Topically, the music box tape Fran created for his demonstration is the popular and uplifting festive song Feliz Navidad – Spanish for Merry Christmas. It’s music to our ears!

Our thanks and very best wishes for a prosperous New Year to Fran and to all our Magnet Schultz customers worldwide.
