Lincoln Electric

Lincoln Electric has added the new Ranger® 225 to its engine-driven welder product portfolio. This rugged welder/generator delivers smooth DC welding output and 10,500 watts peak AC generator power. It is ideal for construction contractors, maintenance crews, farmers and ranchers. It features a fully enclosed case that protects and helps to lower noise levels when compared to a partially enclosed or unenclosed welder of comparable size and output. Engine service is achieved with three sizable engine access doors. This engine-driven welder handles a variety of basic welding jobs with 225 amp/25 volt welding output for stick, TIG, MIG and flux-cored arc welding, as well as arc gouging. Its smooth DC welding output is designed for a broad range of stick electrodes, including Lincoln’s Excalibur® 7018 (AWS E7018) and Fleetweld® 5P+ (AWS E6010). 888-355-3213, www.lincolnelectric.com, Bulletin E6.89.

Caterpillar
Caterpillar offers an electronic brochure devoted to its new Cat® D7E with electric drive. It is a mid-size track-type tractor powered by what is termed a revolutionary AC electric drive system. Cat says the unit delivers powerful dozing and precise maneuverability while burning less fuel and reducing lifetime owning and operating costs. The unit’s Cat C9.3 ACERT™ engine turns an electric generator that converts mechanical energy into AC electrical current. The current flows through armored cables and military-grade connectors to a solid-state power inverter. The propulsion module delivers well-modulated torque via axles to the final drives. These consist of state-of-the art AC electric motors. The propulsion module has no moving electric contacts and few moving mechanical parts. There are no engine belts to repair or replace. www.cat.com/D7E.
