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. Suitable for all makes of machines and capable of working with cranes, telehandlers, excavators, backhoe loaders, concrete, fork l

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.

    Mecalac Group has introduced the MCR6 compact excavator, first previewed at last year’s Intermat exhibition. A combination of both compact excavator and loader in a single machine, the MCR6 joins the larger MCR8 and MCVR10 in the Mecalac line. Capable of travelling at speeds up to 10km/h, the MCR machines can switch from excavator to loader mode in seconds, providing customers with a highly versatile machine.

  • Ideal Controls for road paving materials testing
    January 6, 2017
    Italian firm Controls has put all its long-standing knowledge of road paving material testing into Dynapave, launched this week at INTERMAT. The Dynapave testing system includes the 78-B7030 model, exhibited at the show, which is a servo-pneumatic dynamic testing system with 30kN capacity that examines indirect tensile stiffness, creep, fatigue, triaxial on unbound materials and under load or displacement control. The system is said by Controls to have a user-friendly interface which allows the operator to
