 In order to go from one mode to another, the machine must come to a full stop. "If an operator flips the switch while he''s working, he will stay in the same mode until he comes to a stop," said Osborn. "Before he can actually go into the other mode, he has to push the "press to operate button." There is also an indicator light on the switch so he can look up and have a visual display of which mode he''s in." The position sensors were provided by Torrington, a sister IR company, with all wire harnesses coming from Fargo Assembly and the steering mode switch is from Eaton. "Torrington worked very closely with Jason and our team," said Krause. "These are not off-the-shelf sensors. We told them what the sensors had to do, gave them the area they had to fit in and the conditions they had to live under. The wheel angle sensors and the wheel speed sensors were developed from scratch as a joint effort between Bobcat and Torrington." The Medallion 92 series of two-stage reciprocating air compressors is part of a new line of compressors built for durability and trouble-free service. The compressor includes multi-finned cylinders for maximum cooling and a gasket-free integral cylinder to prevent blown head gaskets. The series remingtonchainsawparts includes electric models ranging from 5 remingtonchainsawparts to 30 hp and an 11-hp gas-driven model. Stanley Works of New Britain, Conn., introduces the CWC200ST electric powered air compressor. Designed with a unique control panel and stacked compressor tanks, the unit allows the user to remain standing when accessing the regulator, gauges, controls and the air line port. The oil-lubricated 2.0 HP compressor is suited for pro applications, and the 4.5 gallon tank capacity can run up to four tools at one time. The unit weighs only 60 pounds. There is little doubt that more engine and powertrain components will be driven electrically than mechanically in the future. The future holds more electronics in mobile equipment powertrains, not less. Like all of Bobcat''s skid-steer loaders, the A220 can accommodate myriad-powered and nonpowered attachments everything from angle brooms and augers to wheel saws and whisker brooms. And it''s that versatility, remingtonchainsawparts along with the all-wheel steer capability, that has the company licking its chops in anticipation of a range of new markets. "We have several test machines in the field right now at a wide variety of customers," Fitzgerald said. "We''ve got one at a recycling plant where they''re running in all-wheel steer 100 percent of the time because of tire wear. They''ve taped the switch so the guys can''t run in skid-steer mode. They''ve got three other machines there and they go through approximately $12,000 worth of tires a year. If the plant can reduce its tire cost significantly, the price difference between an 863 and A220 can easily be justified. The other area of concern is a landing area by a conveyor. Current operating methods wear out the concrete surface. Grooves get worn deep enough into the concrete that they need to mill it out and repour the concrete. The A220 is a lot easier on the surface.
