Along with the new facility, one of the more significant investments has been the addition of a computerized design and patterning system, a test bench and communications systems which have revolutionized the company''s design, scheduling, and production practices."You can''t afford to be left behind with competition the way it is," said Paul Herman, president of Firwin Corp. "A company has to keep up with the speed of the industry and the purchase of this new computer system is one tool that enables us to do so. "We''re not expanding just for the sake of expanding," explained Jim Roberts, marketing manager for Magnum, who noted that earlier this year, the company added a second duracraftdrillpress shift for assembly because of the increase in demand.Continuing the enhancement of its mobile generator set product line that began in late 2002, Magnum has introduced a new range of gen-sets targeted toward construction, industrial and commercial standby applications. The new Magnum gen-sets cover an output range of 12 to 371 kW. The horizontal shaft GCI90 and vertical duracraftdrillpress shaft GCV190 became available duracraftdrillpress through Honda Engine distributors nationally in April. Intended for use on applications as pressure washers and lawnmowers, both shaft configurations will also be supplied to other power equipment manufacturers on an OEM basis."GC engines are an increasingly Important segment of our model lineup and have been an important driver for our growth in North America," said Scott duracraftdrillpress Conner, Honda Engines senior manager.As with other overhead duracraftdrillpress cam (OHC) engines in this series, a unique combination an internal timing belt and uniblock construction creates a light and more compact package, Honda said. This simple construction also minimizes the number of moving parts, making the engine more reliable, quieter, and easy to operate.
