The Varilex WSF 1600 speed-controlled angle grinder from CS Unitec uses a 12.27 Amp (1,350 Watt) motor and infinite variable-speed control (2,000 to 7,300 RPM), for a variety of grinding and polishing tasks. The VARILEX differs from a conventional angle grinder in its ability to change discs quickly, without tools, using the patented EASY-LOCK clamping nut and spindle lock button.

Leica Geosystems introduces the PowerDigger 3D Excavator System. This excavator guidance system includes a choice of single or dual GNSS (GPS + GLONASS) PowerBox and PowerAntenna sensors, each capable of locating the position of the excavator bucket relative to the design surface. In real time, Leica PowerDigger 3D receives the machine position via GNSS, calculates the excavator bucket‘s exact 3D position on the site and compares the bucket position with the 3D design model, displaying differences (cut/fill/slope) to the operator on a display screen.
