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%>
Case says its three new M Series dozers being introduced at bauma – the 1150M, 1650M and 2050M – offer a 10.5% fuel saving, and 19% increase in productivity, compared to the previous generation of machines, due to their claimed best-in-class engine reaction. With operating weights from 13-20tonnes and like other M Series models, the three new dozers are powered by fuel-efficient, Tier 4 Interim FPT engines, using a proven Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology. The 1150M and 2050M with their new SCR

Caterpillar is introducing a revised line-up of 20-24 tonne E Series crawler excavators at Intermat 2012. The 320E, 323E and the reduced radius 320E RR adopt the EU Stage IIIB Cat C6.6 ACERTTM engine, providing reduced emissions and fuel consumption savings of up to 11% compared to other D Series models. A wider range of cab seating, including heating and cooling options, comes with the new E Series crawler excavators. Time delay lighting, additional safety handrails and improved serviceability are also sai
