Prolec total machine safety in a single controller

Machine control and safety specialist Prolec has developed a total machine control system, called Prolec Machine Engine (PME). Rather than having separate controllers for safety applications such as weighing, stability and safe load indication, plus additional controllers for digging applications and data capture, the PME aims to combine all of these features in a single module.

PME will run a range of applications from safety to machine control
RSSMachine control and safety specialist 309 Prolec has developed a total machine control system, called Prolec Machine Engine (PME).

Rather than having separate controllers for safety applications such as weighing, stability and safe load indication, plus additional controllers for digging applications and data capture, the PME aims to combine all of these features in a single module.

Suitable for all makes of machines and capable of working with cranes, telehandlers, excavators, backhoe loaders, concrete, fork lifts and many other types of machine, PME conforms to the Machinery Directive EN15849.

Using Prolec’s existing sensors, the system measures the various parameters of the machine, including depth monitoring, reach and overturn control. In the future PME will also function with both 2D and 3D machine guidance and control systems, providing a completely integrated machine control solution.

  • Ihimer adds to skid steer line-up
    January 6, 2017
    Ihimer, the joint venture between Japanese company IHI and Italian firm Imer, has added two skid steer loaders to its growing range of compact equipment. The AS30 and AS34 have operating weights of 3,150kg and 3,500kg respectively, with rated working loads of 850kg and 1,020kg. Power comes from a 50kW Kubota engine in the smaller machine and a 61kW Yanmar motor in the AS34. The company already has a smaller AS12 model, and will launch AS18 and AS22 skid steers at next year’s Bauma show in Munich. IHI also b

  • Genie’s telehandlers reach new heights at INTERMAT
    January 6, 2017
    Two extended reach telehandlers have been added to Genie’s range with the introduction of the 14metre reach GTH4014 and the GTH4018, which can lift loads to 18metres. The 4tonne capacity Stage IIIB-compliant machines have streamlined chassis to improve the operator’s view of the load and are said to offer best-in-class performance from a smaller footprint. In addition to the small footprint, the machines have tight turning circles (3.8m outside turning radius on the GTH-4018) a narrow overall width, and a
