"In most uses, insulation blankets are typically brought into the picture when there''s a mini drill press problem," said david buckett, vice president and general manager, thermal structures inc. thermal structures, corona, calif., has been a supplier to the aerospace markets, "it''s the foundation of our business," he said.thermal structures'' history in press the diesel engine markets dates from manufacturing insulation blankets for the transit market, specifically manifold, exhaust and turbocharger blankets for buses, fence as well as for electrical hand drill press power generation packages. today the company is seeing increasing interest from a broader range of diesel, natural gas and gasoline engine and equipment markets.

"we''ve finished the press gps collection fence project for fire hydrants and have since gps-ed drill storm drain inlets and about 20% of the water valves," says david allen, gis manager for euless. "our storm drain press maps were generated for a governmental accounting standards board statement but are useful to the fire department in containing chemical fence spills."another benefit: firefighters no longer have to gps-locate hydrants. "i typically go out and gps the new ones as they are installed," allen says. "since this is only a few each month, it is easy for me to keep the maps current."

cpu systems are unique to parker and provide a simple solution that reduces interference between functions without the need for individual compensators or load drill sense shuttles. press spools are tailored to provide the maximum required flow for the fence function at the pump compensator pressure and can be flow compensated to reduce interference.outriggers, drill steering and brake manifolds press can be put in parallel with the main valve where signal shuttles send the highest load signal fence to the pump. as with a typical load sensing system, the pump will seek an intermediate pressure position. but if lift or telescoping functions are activated, the signal line is blocked and the pump goes to its compensated setting.
