Komatsu is widening its line of intelligent dozers
2300 Komatsu is broadening its range of intelligent dozers with an additional three models. The 37PXi, 39PXi and 51PXi machines all feature similar intelligent machine control (iMC) technology to the existing D61PXi-23, which was introduced in mid-2013. The D61PXi-23 features a 125.3kW diesel while the 37PXi, 39PXi and 51PXi are in the power rating classes of 66kW, 78kW and 97kW respectively. These dozers are all capable of handling rough dozing along with finish grading while operating in automatic mode, with fully automatic blade control. For rough dozing work, the automatic blade control monitors blade load and adjusts blade elevation to minimise track slip for high-efficiency operation. As work progresses closer to the target finish grade, the automatic blade control adjusts accordingly to provide finish grade performance with high-level precision. Improvement in combination rough dozing efficiency is up to 13% higher compared to add-on machine control systems for tested models. This is because the sensors are integral to the machine so readings are more accurate. With Komatsu’s iMC crawler dozers, typical add-on machine control system components mounted on the blade have been replaced with factory installed cab top GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) antenna, enhanced inertial measurement unit (IMU+), and stroke sensing hydraulic cylinders. These components along with the machine control monitor and controllers mounted inside of the cab are installed at the Komatsu manufacturing facility during machine assembly. %$Linker: 2Asset<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary />2489770oLinkExternalwww.komatsu.comKomatsu Websitefalse/EasySiteWeb/GatewayLink.aspx?alId=48977falsefalse%>
The Leica iCON grade iGD4 solution which enables one dozer to do multiple types of grading work with speed and accuracy was launched has been launched at Conexpo 2014.
The highly accurate and efficient iCON grade iGD4 dozer solution calculates the lift, angle, and tilt of the dozer’s six-way blade. It allows operators to angle their blade while iCON grade’s advanced hydraulic control system automatically controls the blade’s lift and tilt. As a result, dozers can now be run at the full extent of their capa
LiuGong Machinery Corporation is showing its line of dozers at INTERMAT. The three dozers are manufactured in the company’s newly-acquired plant in Poland following the recent acquisition of HSW (Huta Stalowa Wola) Dressta, a company noted for bulldozer technology. This is the first time the dozers are being presented as part of LiuGong and they include the TD-14M with an operating weight of 15,550kg and a blade capacity of 4.28m³; the TD-20M (operating weight 23,650kg and a blade capacity of 8.45 m³) and t

Branded the world’s first intelligent machine control excavator, Komatsu’s new to Europe PC210LCi-10 hydraulic excavator features the Japanese company’s exclusive machine control and guidance system.
With features including stroke sensing hydraulic cylinders for the boom, arm and bucket, the exclusive machine control system means PC210LCi-10 operators are said to no longer need to worry about digging too deep or damaging a target surface. From rough digging to finish grading, the new intelligent excavator
