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.

  • Unic adds 10tonne lift model to its mini crane range
    January 6, 2017
    Unic Cranes Europe has added a 10tonne lift machine to its line-up. The URW-1006 offers a 30.7m lift height and a 24.3m working radius. However, at just 2m wide, the machine remains capable of accessing restricted working areas. The spider platform has configurable outriggers to provide greater stability when lifting on uneven surfaces. The crane also uses a Wylie i4500 safe load indicator to provide lifting information to the operator on a colour LCD screen.

  • JLG’s “unmatched” telehandler
    January 6, 2017
    JLG says the high-torque hydrostatic transmission of its L2906H compact telehandler, on show at INTERMAT 2012, allows for all-terrain application suitability “unmatched” by competitors. The L2906H and the rest of JLG’s compact range are equipped with a Stage IIIa Deutz engine that delivers 74.9kW Even in extreme rough terrain situations, the limited-slip differential feature on the front axle further enhances the traction provided by the high-torque hydrostatic transmission.
