PRODUCTSRaymarine?s New e-Series Multifunction Display Raymarine announces the launch of the e165 large screen multifunction display. The latest addition to the range of e-Series MFDs (multifunction displays), the e165 sports a full 15.4? 16:9 wide-format display and sits in the same footprint as a traditional 14? screen, giving 20% more screen for the same helm or dash space. The displays offer clear and consistent color and contrast levels, even with changes to the viewing angle, and are further enhanced by a choice of color palettes which allow for optimum use of available sunlight; saving even more power and energy. www.raymarine.com / www.FLIR.com Electric Tug Does the Work of Four People American Sales Development LLC announces the ergonomic ASD electric walkie tug that reduces strain and chance of injury when moving heavy, unwieldy loads in industrial environments. With a capacity of 20,000lbs, on wheeled carts or trailers, the unit safely replaces the effort of four persons, or up to 8 persons, with one electric tug. The electrically powered, walk behind, wheeled cart and trailer mover is constructed of formed 1/4? steel plate. With a 36v DC power circuit, heavy duty deep cell batteries and on-board, 5-stage battery charger, it can run all day on a single charge. www.americansalesdevelopment.net Polymer Infrared Windows of Marine Environments The new Platinum infrared inspection window from IRISS is suited to marine and offshore applications characterized by temperatures extremes, high humidity, continuous vibration and high duty cycles. In harsh environments, Platinum offers distinct bene ts over traditional, limited life  uoride crystal windows that easily shatter. Platinum offers the same visibility as its crystal counterpart, as well as impact resistance with an unlimited lifetime warranty. The maritime sector employs substantial machinery, vast electrical installations and electronics systems that need to be inspected with thermal imaging. The IRISS Platinum range can complement and enhance all predictive maintenance programs. http://www.iriss.com CeRam-Kote Pontoon Deck Preservation System CeRam-Kote Coatings, Inc. has developed a high impact and abrasion resistant coating system to preserve drydock pontoon decks, weather decks and ballast tanks. Ceramic particle loading is the key to this coating system, creating adhesion to steel plates prepared with an anchor pro le of 2.0 to 3.0 mils. This allows up to a 5 year warranty. The CeRam-Kote 54 SST primer holds the freshly blasted steel to prevent  ash rust, and is forgiving in less than ideal conditions. The SPG (Sprayable Grout) top coat provides protection with a 100% solids coat. www.ceram-kote.com Cargotec?s Electrically-Driven Offshore Winches Cargotec offers electrically-driven versions of its offshore MacGregor anchor handling/ towing winches (eAHT). The eAHT series features line pulls ranging from 200 to 600 tons with an initial speed up to 25m/min and with a brake holding capacity up to 800 tons. Available in double- or triple-drum con gurations, the drums are designed to carry a huge capacity of steel wire rope, as well as large diameter low speci c weight  ber rope. The extended shaft connections at both ends of the winch are suitable for  tting chain wheels to handle chains ranging from 76mm to 160mm diameter. www.cargotec.com Miller?s New XR-Pistol-Pro Gun Miller?s XR-Pistol-Pro Gun is built for aluminum MIG and Pulsed MIG welding in heavy industrial applications such as shipbuilding, emergency and general fabrication. Compatible with Miller XR-S/D Control, XR-AlumaFeed, and Millermatic 252 and 350P models, the XR-Pistol-Pro Gun is a push-pull gun designed speci cally for use with aluminum wire and other soft alloys where wire feeding consistency is critical. XR-Pistol- Pro Guns feature an improved motor and drive design for better feedability and arc consistency over longer distances, reducing downtime and maintenance costs associated with complex drive systems. www.millerwelds.com October 201256 MNMNOct2012 Layout 50-58.indd 56MNOct2012 Layout 50-58.indd 5610/2/2012 10:28:22 AM10/2/2012 10:28:22 AM
