From Bug-O Systems comes the Light'n Bug multipurpose burning and welding travel carriage that runs at precise speeds from four to 85 (IPM). This lightweight machine can produce high quality cuts and bevels, and uniform welds. It is a compact friction drive that will ride on any standard 6-in. v-groove track, -- designating it an ideal replacement for older, obsolete cutting machines. Light'n Bug can also be used without track for fillet welds.

In a revolutionary approach to proactive coating maintenance, Jet Edge and Aquablast Corp. U.K. have joined together to pioneer a new approach using the Jet Edge 55,000 psi (3,800 bar) electric pumps as a permanent on-board maintenance system on large ocean vessels. In fact, Hellespont Steamship of Piraeus, Greece, played a formidable role in the development of the concept and has since retrofitted two state-of-the art 442,000 dwt super tankers with Jet Edge 55-100 pumps.
The pumps were installed directly aft of the main superstructure, within a small steel storage structure. Subsequently, the entire ship was fitted with 60,000 psi hard tubing and high pressure hose connection outlets were installed throughout the ship.Installed to combat corrosion, the Jet Edge system employs its Gyra Jet LP II rotary lance to one of the connection outlets and then waterblasts the area to white metal before repainting.
