TRACSTAR® iSERIES - A NEW LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE & RELIABILITY FOR THE FUSION INDUSTRY

摘要

The story of the TracStar® began, in the early 1990s, with a wishful question. Chip McElroy was visiting the Morenci mine job site watching the fusion process and was struck by the ruggedness of the terrain and work environment. At that time McElroy machines were self-contained but rolling so they needed to be moved into position. A mining crew member asked whether we had considered a self-propelled machine. That question started the creative wheels turning! After much research, the TracStar design was sketched on a napkin during an Italian tradeshow visit, and the first TracStar was unveiled in the fall of 1997.
