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 power 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?"

But the inner workings and components can be a thing of beauty. Industry is demanding pumps and valves that are more reliable, robust, efficient and low-maintenance. A premium also is placed on sanitary design, and the makers of pumps and valves are being nudged to meet and often exceed standards such as 3A.Sanitary clean-in-place (CIP) components help further the goals of process automation, long a priority in food processing. Regulatory hurdles such as the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO) sometimes work against adoption of the technology that make CIP and automation possible, but sheer doggedness eventually prevails. Such is the case with mix-proof valves, which are starting to be applied in the transfer of large-particulate dairy products.

Duty-Cycle flare RatingPower-supply rating depends on the type and thickness of the workpiece and the length of time it takes to deposit the longest weld on the thickest material. Duty cycle is the key factor to consider when selecting a power source. Once the engineer has determined the current and voltage needed to accomplish the weld, he then reviews duty cycle requirements.Duty cycle rating is the percentage of time during a 10-minute period a power supply can operate at rated output amperage without overheating. A 300 A machine at 60-percent-duty cycle can weld for six minutes at 300. A during a 10-minute period. Alter six minutes, the welder must rest the machine for the next four minutes to avoid overheating the unit.
