In 1997 the stringing machine factory (Lily-Lee & Co., Ltd.), developed a new 6-point suspension mounting system. Then there are two series machines with this mounting system that were introduced into the market, the Neon and the Hyper series. The Neon series machines are electronic machines, such as Neon 21, Neon CX, Neon CX21, Neon CXS and King 3115H. The Hyper series machines are drop-weight and manual crank machines, such as Hyper 50, Hyper 100 and Hyper 500. Basically, the Hyper series machines are made for the European market. In September 2000 the XP series machines were introduced to the market, such as XP-45, XP-46, XP-600, XP-601, XP-650, XP-651, XP-8200S, XP-8201S, XP-8600S and XP-8600T. The XP series machines are designed for the Japanese and south Asian markets. In October 2001 the Hyper 480 was introduced to the market. The Hyper 480 is identical to the XP-650 except the colors. The XP-650 has the gray and light yellow colors; the Hyper 480 has the red and gray colors.
