Doosan to launch improved 6tonne midi

Doosan Construction Equipment has shown a prototype of its 6tonne DX62R-3, a replacement for the DX60R. Due to be launched in the second half of the year, the machine delivers a 33% increase in hydraulic flow from a new load sensing system. Digging forces are said to be greatly improved, with bucket force now up to 4,400kg, and increase of 7%, while dipper arm force is up to 2.9tonnes. This improved performance has been combined with a longer arm for a larger working range. The machine uses the same cab tha

DX60R-3 will offer more power and performance
695 Doosan Construction Equipment has shown a prototype of its 6tonne DX62R-3, a replacement for the DX60R.

Due to be launched in the second half of the year, the machine delivers a 33% increase in hydraulic flow from a new load sensing system.

Digging forces are said to be greatly improved, with bucket force now up to 4,400kg, and increase of 7%, while dipper arm force is up to 2.9tonnes. This improved performance has been combined with a longer arm for a larger working range.

The machine uses the same cab that features on larger models, with a new colour monitor that allows operators to control auxiliary flow and to monitor service periods. It also provides all vital machine function information and access to a password lock-out anti-theft system.

The DX62R-3 is powered by a Stage IIIA engine, delivering 36.2kW of power. Electronic injection control and an auto idle function result in improved fuel consumption.

With an operating weight of 6,130kg, the DX62R-3 has a digging depth of 3,815mm and a reach at ground level of 6,100mm.

    Engineering firm Ricardo is part way through a research programme to develop an advanced energy recovery system that can be integrated into an excavator’s hydraulic system. Known as the High Efficiency Excavator (HFX) project, the system uses a 5kg carbon fibre flywheel that is encased in a vacuum-sealed cartridge, which contributes to minimising friction. The flywheel is spun at speeds of up to 30,000rpm using a magnetic coupling, which is driven from a hydraulic motor. Power for the hydraulic motor comes

    Case is increasing its presence in the earthmoving sector with the launch of a three-model range of upgraded M Series dozers, up from two models in the previous generation. The 1150M, 1650M and 2050M weigh in at 13-20tonnes and all feature Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB-compliant FPT diesel engines with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology. Case claims that the use of SCR results in lower fuel consumption, up to 10.5% less in the case of these dozers, while the 1150M and 2050M benefit from a 9% power i
