factors that went into the decision were its simple

The GF Confi guration Tool Bluetooth App
allows users to confi gure and calibrate the 2580
to the parameters required for their system. After
customizing parameters for averaging, low fl ow cut

then monitor and adjust 2580 performance settings
on their Android or iOS device.

Utility, transportation, municipal, data management,
and industrial enterprises understand the need to
deliver services around-the-clock, knowing that any
threat to their operational security or public safety
can cause a loss of revenue and tarnish reputations.
Neenah Foundry introduced InfraLOCK to
specifi cally protect the nation's underground
infrastructure.
The heavy-duty manhole cover incorporates
the ultra-strong ABLOY Critical Infrastructure USA
PLM340 padlock. The cover is furnished with a
cast iron plug that conceals the weather-resistant
padlock housing. When unlocked, the hardened
steel constructed padlock swings to the side - and
by design, cannot be removed from the housing.
Pullback on a cast iron bar releases the locking
mechanism and allows the cover to be removed.
ABLOY's shackle-sealed, corrosion-resistant
padlock provides a host of benefi ts. These start
with patented disc rotating technology, making
the padlock almost impossible to pick. Cylinder
options inside the padlock allow for integrating
systems to control keys, manage access rights, and
perform audit trails with ABLOY CLIQ technology.
InfraLOCK is easy to install and can be retrofi tted
into existing frames without costly demolition,
unnecessary hardware or installation expenditures.
The housing can be fi tted to virtually any standard
manhole cover.
Neenah Foundry, Neehan, Wisc., has produced
American-made municipal infrastructure and
construction products for nearly 150 years. highly

CASE Introduces Precision Grader Blade Attachment
CASE Construction Equipment's
all-new Precision
Grader Blade is a powerful
new attachment for
large-frame compact track
loaders, that delivers grading
performance in a more
compact and agile footprint.
It's compatible with the same
2D and 3D machine control technologies deployed on full-sized motor graders - including CASE
SiteControl grader solutions powered by Leica Geosystems.
" This is built for those applications where contractors have always wanted the power and precision
of a motor grader, but were unable to justify it based on size, access or cost, " said Jerry Hutkowski,
product manager, CASE Construction Equipment. " It takes the large-frame CTL that many contractors
already own and turns it into a powerful precision grading solution capable of working on sites where
a larger machine isn't practical or can't gain access. "
The CASE Precision Grader Blade is compatible with the use of laser receivers (single or dual), sonic
tracers (single or dual), GNSS/GPS (single or dual) and total stations, and the attachment itself is " plug
and play " with the auxiliary hydraulics and 14-pin electrical connection of a large-frame CTL.
It features a 108-inch moldboard capable of jointly changing elevation and slope through dual lift
cylinders, as well as achieving 60 degrees of combined blade rotation and 26 inches of combined
blade side shift. Motion and action for the grader blade are controlled through the existing joysticks of
the CTL - no additional controls are required.

Epiroc, based in Broomfi eld, Colo., launched its
latest innovation: the world´s fi rst face drill rig with
internal and protected hydraulics, sensors and
cables. Boomer M20's heavy-duty, hose-less design
is built to minimize unplanned stops for hose
repairs, and maximize uptime and performance in
highly demanding underground mining operations.
High precision and performance are ensured by
on-board automation features, tele-remote capabilities
and digital drill plans that give higher reliability
and quality of the full drill cycle. Utilizing the latest
technology, Boomer M20 allows the operator to
adjust and download drill plans directly at the face,
eliminating the need for adjustments on the surface.
With digital drill plan handling, drill rounds are
longer, more precise and give far less overbreak.
Total cost savings of up to 25 percent and productivity
increases up to a 40-percent can be achieved
via high-performance development.
Several safety features enhance the working
environment for Boomer M20 operators. Through
tele-remote capabilities, operators can drill a safe
distance away from hazardous areas at the tunnel
face and keep production going over shift changes.
The safe bolting platforms are another great
advantage because this avoids any operation under
an unsupported rock.
Epiroc continues the charge towards electrifi cation
in underground mining and the new Boomer
M20 comes with a battery-electric driveline option.
A battery-powered model brings additional savings
on health, maintenance, ventilation and cooling.
With the onboard charger, the operator does
not need to plan for charging, as it automatically
takes place while connected to the grid for drilling.
Thanks to the high-capacity battery, the Boomer
M20 has a fantastic driving range, and there is
nothing to disturb the drift cycle. *

manufacturers in North America.
