Look hereI also was happy to see a new electronic balometer from Alnor. These devices, which read ceiling-mounted diffuser outputs in direct CFMs with no correction factors, are needed throughout the industry. However, they were usually very large, sensitive and expensive, so only the largest commercial shops had them, until now. Alnor just introduced its LoFlo balometer, a compact 10-500 CFM instrument designed specially for residential and light commercial applications.I took a minute to stop by some of the smoky denizens of the welding business. Uniweld Products has just come up with a new oxy/acetylene torch tip they call the Tuning Fork (because that''s what it looks like). It is specifically designed for the removal and installation of reversing valves. Flames coming from both tip surfaces surround the three-connection side of the reversing valve, allowing the whole assembly to be unbrazed in a single operation. Leave it to Bobcat Co. to come up with something to address those issues. Bobcat, the division of Ingersoll-Rand that is generally credited with inventing the skid-steer loader, has taken the skid-steer loader concept and turned it somewhat on its head with the introduction of the A220, which is an all-wheel steer loader with skid-steer capabilities--in essence, a skid-steer that doesn''t skid."This machine came about because of customer requests," said Mike Fitzgerald, loader product representative, at Bobcat Co. "They were looking for certain things on skid-steer loaders, like reduced tire wear, less ground disturbance, less marking on asphalt and concrete. Now the question for us was, how do we accomplish that?" Response rate, header height, and row unit height can be conveniently adjusted on-the-go from the cab. Simple buttons are used to raise and lower the unit, and the old levers and mechanical linkages have all been replaced with state-of-the-art electronic controls. Row-Trak Guidance is also available on the new head. With this system, the operator will automatically stay on the row without constant steering adjustments. Simply line-up the stripper with the rows, hit the Row-Trak Guidance switch, and the system will take over, steering the stripper and keeping it on the row. ©2003 www.band-saws-for-sale.com.
