The Tomahawk 625 operates on 208 or 230 volt single phase 60 or 50 Hz input power. It produces 10-40 amps output and is rated at 40 amps at 96 volts, 35 per- cent duty cycle. www.lincolnelectric.com BUG-O SYSTEMS Announce Weld.com The welding & cutting industry has been without an online resource that addresses all aspects of the industry up until this point. BUG-O Systems has recently devel- oped a new website, Weld.com, which will provide users with information on manufacturers, distributors, repre- sentatives, consultants, schools, job postings, and other resources within the welding industry. The site is set to launch in Fall 2011. www.weld.com Type 57IL Isolator Lug Butterfly Valve Asahi/America, Inc. has recently expanded their line of valves to include the Type 57IL Isolator Lug butterfly valve. The Type 57IL Isolator Lug features a unique lug design where the 316 stainless steel lugs are inserted into the valve body during the injection molding process per- manently combining the lugs and valve body into one unit. The Type 57IL?s distinct design permits removal of the downstream flange while maintaining fullupstream line pressure. Encapsulating the 316SS lugs in the PVC valve body ensures that every Type 57IL comes factory- equipped with lugs.Asahi/America has simpli-fied the field installation process by removing the direc- tional requirement of their previous butterfly valve. www.asahi-america.com Atex/Ex Certified Pneumatic SeriesRustibus has been providing its patented chain based solution for surface preparation in the marine industry for over 30 years. Their latest launch is the Atex/Ex certified pneumatic series that can be used in potentially explosive atmospheres. This will allow even tankers to use their mechanical products on board their vessels. With the wide product range from walk behinds, hand tool and pipe series, there are virtually no areas the powerful machines cannot reach. The hand machines are also reintroduced to the market with a newer design and a new 110V electric model. Now more user friendly and compact, these are tailored for the treatment of smaller areas and ideal for both large and small vessels. www.rustibus.com Bondhus Helps Eliminate Dropped Screws Bondhus Corporation?s line of revolu- tionary ProHold Tip screw holding tools has expanded to include: T-handles, screwdrivers and L-wrenches in both ballpoint hex and star tips, in a full rangeof inch and metric hex sizes from .050? through 3/8?, 1.27mm through 10mm and T9 through T55. Each tool?s tip has a non magnetic, corrosion-proof button that securely holds screws on the tool at any angle, eliminating dropped screws even in hard to reach applications. The button is on the flat of the hex tool, eliminating weakened tool corners and tool failure associated with competitor products. The unique, patented design enables each ProHold tool to deliver the full torque of Bondhus? exclu- sive Protanium steel. All ProHold tools feature Bondhus? proprietary ProGuard finish. www.bondhus.com 56MNSeptember 2011MN#9 (50-57):MN 2011 Layouts 9/6/2011 12:40 PM Page 56
