Ready To Fly At bauma
BY IAN CAMERON, Ashbourne, England When it comes to impressing, entertaining and in some cases scaring the living daylights out of exhibitors and visitors, the recent bC India show in Mumbai will take some beating. The forthcoming bauma construction equipment jamboree in Munich will have to come up with something special to top the entertainment offered in one of the Indian halls. You see, some person seems to have arranged for a very large, aggressivelooking bird of prey (I think it was a kite of some sort) to spend the duration of the show flying from rafter to rafter, and regularly swooping down, stopping visitors in their tracks and occasionally causing amazement. He would descend spectacularly but harmlessly from his lofty perch, presumably to take a closer look at the construction equipment components on the stands below or perhaps just to grab a cookie from the coffee stand. Whatever, it was good to watch. It was a terrific ruse. If the show got a little slow, then endless minutes of fun could be enjoyed watching the feathered exhibitor performing his aerial routine. Which raises the bar for the bauma trade show in Munich in April. It promises to be a mega, unmissable event for the sector with a host of new products to be unveiled. But what if there is a lull in the action at bauma? What if the aisles become quiet and attentions wander? Presumably some forward-thinking bright spark will have arranged for an impressively huge German vulture (are there any?) to be ready to fly into action and soar among the grand halls entertaining the masses below. The Mumbai bird show was impressive. The heat is now on bauma. And for news of any bird sightings at the show you can follow us, where else and quite appropriately, on Twitter. dpi
Rethinking Everything
BY MIKE BREZONICK, Waukesha, Wisconsin, U.S.A. A Mark Twain character once uttered what might be a seminal truth concerning humanity. Faith, said Puddnhead Wilson, is believing what you know aint so. All of us believe in things that aint so. Often the real issue is determining whats so and what isnt. That came to mind on seeing an analysis of the environmental impact of individuals driving automobiles vs. using public transportation (buses or trains). Clearly, public transit would be one of those things we know is better for the environment how could it not be? since it moves many people at a time vs. cars that carry far fewer (1.59 people per trip, according to the U.S. government). Yet the potential of mass transit is seldom fulfilled. The average U.S. bus carries 10 people per trip, while rail systems carry an average of 25. The question then becomes whats better for the earth, operating small, unfilled vehicles or large unfilled vehicles? Government data indicates that traveling a mile by car uses 3447 Btu of energy per person. By train, its 2520 Btu per person/mile, with buses at 4118 Btu. The train is the clearly the greenest choice. But trains cant go everywhere. And if theyre powered by electricity (often the case in light rail), there might not be much emissions reduction. A lot of power here is still generated from coal. So is shifting a number of small emitters to fewer big emitters really a net gain? This isnt to suggest that moving the greatest number of people in the most efficient manner isnt a really good idea. Its just that when it comes to weighing options, some fundamental rethinking might be in order so we all understand whats truly so and what aint. dpi

Reducing
Aftertreatment technology being used to cut particulates at urban construction sites

PM Hazards
hile diesel exhaust has long been known to be generally harmful to human health, some of the latest indications are that it could be more dangerous than previously thought. Information from the World Health Organization suggests that the carcinogenic link between diesel exhaust and cancer might be more significant and direct than suspected. In particular, construction machines operating in urban areas have been identified as significant concerns, as they are major emitters of particulate matter (PM) and responsible for an estimated 25% of all such air pollution in inner city areas. This machinery can have a very long service life and is often utilized many hours a day, over many years. Much of this equipment is without suitable exhaust gas treatment technology, and studies have revealed that construction workers who are exposed to high concentrations of PM may be twice as likely to develop cancer as the average person. As that has become more widely known, a greater numbers of builders, developers and estate owners have begun stipulating in their invitations to bid that all construction machines used in their building projects must be equipped with appropriate emissions reduction technology. Among the companies supplying that technology is Germanys HJS Emission Technology GmbH & Co. KG. Among its systems designed to reduce harmful emissions from diesel exhaust gases is the modular Sintered Metal Filter (SMF) system, which was specifically developed for applications in the medium to high power range. The SMF filters, which will be on display at bauma 2013, utilize Continuous Regeneration Technology (CRT) to break down the particulates that collect on the SMF substrate. HJS said the system combines an efficient diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) position upstream of the sintered metal filter. Optimized tuning results in the soot being continuously and passively regenerated from the sintered metal filter. HJS has also developed active technologies such as a sintered metal filter with autarkic thermoelectric regeneration (SMF-AR) designed for systems operated for long periods at low loads where exhaust temperatures remain low. HJS said the SMF-AR system is capable of removing 100% of the soot particles from the exhaust gases. Through resistance heating, it generates the temperatures necessary to burn off the particulate matter, enabling regeneration under practically any engine load, from idling to full throttle. As a rule, HJSs aftertreatment systems replace the machines original silencer and they can be customized as re-

quired to match specific equipment. HJS said its systems are VERT-certified and have been installed in more than 20 000 vehicles and machines. The company also offers retrofit solutions for construction machines that are tailored to the specific requirements of the machines make and model. In cooperation with construction companies and filter manufacturers, the German Senate Dept. for Urban Development and the Environment has initiated a field trial for diesel particulate filters in construction machinery. According to HJS, the aim of this initiative is to cut particulate emissions from all mobile machines in operation in Berlin. From 2014 on, all construction machines used in the fulfilment of public construction projects in Germanys capital city will be fitted with a diesel particulate filter. This program follows Berlins establishment of a Low Emissions Zone for road vehicles through which more than 60 000 diesel vehicles have been retrofitted with a particulate filter. Results have shown that particulate emissions from dieselpowered vehicles have been cut in half. dpi

Linde Hydraulics new LSC+, monoblock and stop/start system all aimed to enhance machine operation
inde Hydraulics is focusing its presence at bauma 2013 on efficiency. Highlighting that focus will be a live demonstration, using a model excavator, of the companys new LSC+ control system. The company said the LSC+ system brings together the properties of the established Linde Synchron Control system with the benefits offered by an electronic control. The electronics are designed to identify the operators intentions and set the pump and valves to a high dynamic or fine control range, depending on the requirement. In addition to automatically detecting the working situation, the LSC+ system enables operating modes to be selected manually via the operator display. The conventional load-sensing control, which operates on top of this function, means that sensors are not required, Linde said.
Of Efficiency
A Model
A new valve monoblock by Linde Hydraulics is engineered to integrate all key control functions into one cast housing. It has been specially developed for the new Linde Synchron Control, now also available in the LSC+ version with electronic control.
The monoblock valve system is another new product that was specially developed for the LSC. Linde said the monoblock system integrates all key hydraulic control functions within a single cast housing. This system was developed by Linde Hydraulics based on the design principle of its VT modular series. An optimized flow path ensures the minimization of pressure losses, while additional functions can easily be added by valves in sandwich design. Linde Hydraulics is also unveiling another energy-saving function for the first time at bauma 2013 a hydraulic start/stop system that can be used in wheeled loaders, telescopic handlers and other construction machines. The system works with a compact hydraulic accumulator charged via a Linde Hydraulics MPR 50 mediumpressure pump. When Lindes elec-
tronic LINC controller detects a defined standstill in driving functions, the machines engine is shut down. As soon as the operator depresses the accelerator pedal or moves the steering wheel or joystick, the hydraulic pump fed by the charged accumulator begins operating and the engine starts and is ramped up to a preset speed. This starting procedure is four times quicker than starting using an electric motor, Linde said, ensuring the machine is immediately ready for operation. The intelligent automated start/ stop system not only saves energy, but also reduces the amount of noise produced by the machine, the company said. dpi

VIA Nanotechnology
Unlike conventional synthetic and cellulose media, the new NanoNet filter media by Cummins Filtration is designed to have a consistent pore size due to its small fibers. Thus, its filtration capability is better shown by the number of particles which are captured by the media over the number of particles sent to the system (Beta ratio measurement), instead of efficiency percentage. NanoNet provides a beta ratio of 1000 at particles down to 4 m or, 98.7% filtration efficiency with particles down to 4 m.
Cleaner Fuel
Cummins Filtration develops new fuel filtration media based on nanotechnology
FILTRATION
By Roberta Prandi
ummins Filtration has developed a new line of fuel filtration products that utilize nanotechnology in the filtration media to provide enhanced levels of efficiency and removal of harmful particulates from diesel fuel. The company said its NanoNet filters mark the first time that a nanotechnology-based filtration media has been commercially developed for fuel filtration within the industry. The new filtration media has debuted in Cummins Filtrations Fleetguard products, but starting early this year, it will also be available for other Cummins Filtration product segments. Cummins Filtration utilizes several types of patented media technology, said Loick Menez, Director Engineering Europe, Middle East, Africa and India at Cummins Filtration. Prior to NanoNet we developed and patented StrataPore a multilayered synthetic media offering three layers of gradient protection which is used both for fuel and lube applications that still is the benchmark within the filtration industry for mobile applications. Cummins Filtration said the NanoNet advanced media represents the next frontier in filtration efficiency and has
been engineered to meet the requirements of advanced engines utilizing high-pressure, common-rail, fuel-injection systems, working at pressures up to and beyond 2000 bar. The media traps 98.7% of all particles as small as 4 m (12 times smaller than the smallest particle visible to the human eye), to deliver superior protection and performance critical to todays high pressure common rail engines, Menez said. In fact, NanoNet fuel filtration products exhibit between seven and 13 times greater retention of harmful particles within the fuel filtration media during engine vibration and fuel surge than the closest competitor. Fuel surge results in a fluctuation of fuel flow within the system whenever the engines output is increased or decreased through throttling. Menez said the actual performance of the filter media is given not only by the size of the pore (efficiency) thus the smaller size of the particles which are allowed through but also from its porosity, or the number of pores in a layer of media (capacity). As modern engines using sophisticated injection systems do not particularly love a contaminated fuel, either by solid particles
or water droplets, and the quality of fuel is seldom granted, the capabilities of NanoNet are a must to protect the injection components and the whole engine from any damage, he said. Cummins Filtration said the World Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC) has determined that 50% of the fuel dispensed at retail fuel pumps around the globe does not meet the necessary cleanliness of ISO standards recommended by ISO 18/16/13 (ISO 4406 Contamination Code). Cummins Filtration said it undertook rigorous testing during the development of NanoNet, not only in laboratory but also in real-life applications where an engine and filter are subject to exposure to dirt, dust infiltration and extreme vibration. Menez added that, for some applications, it could also be recommended to adopt two-stage filtration system where stage one uses a conventional filter, and a second stage with a NanoNetbased filter would be used to assure the removal of microparticles. dpi

New Power
Company launches new range of Scania diesel-powered generator sets from 250 to 665 kVA
By Bo Svensson
From Scania
ts rare when an established company in a mature industry launches itself into an entirely different market segment. Now Scania, best known for its long history of manufacturing trucks, buses and marine and industrial diesel engines, is doing just that with the debut of a new range of generator sets for standby and prime power applications. The new Scania Gensets are all powered by Scania engines and will cover 250 to 665 kVA for prime power and standby applications. For higher power
requirements, multiple installations of synchronized units will be offered. The new gen-sets will be available in open or closed units in 50 or 60 Hz configurations and will be offered in selected markets, with a number of units having already been delivered to the UAE, Southeast Asia, Japan and Norway. While the Scania Genset range is new, the company does have power generation experience, as it is a longtime supplier of engines for power generation. The move also came naturally in light of the companys strategy to pro10
vide comprehensive solutions closely adapted to customer needs. Customers in mining and construction operating on remote sites were already getting Scania support through trucks and Scaniapowered off-road equipment. Adding generator sets was a logical step. The Scania Gensets will be offered exclusively with the companys latest 9, 13, and 16 L diesel engines. The 16 L engine is a V8 configuration, while the 9 and 13 L diesels are inline five- or six-cylinder engines. continued on page 12

The closed canopy versions of the Scania Gensets are installed in sound-dampened, fully galvanized and weatherproofed enclosures. The enclosures are designed to allow easy access for servicing.
A new V8 engine with Scania common rail fuel injection and power output up to 800 kVA will be added to the generator set range by the end of 2013, the company said. We are now starting to sell complete Scania Gensets via our distributor network, said Robert Sobocki, senior vice president, Scania Engines. Being a Scania product means that it will have the same support as a Scania engine or a Scania truck, including technical documentation, parts supply, service and repair for the entire product, including the electrical components such as the alternator. Gaining experience from selling complete products instead of being a component supplier will serve to enhance the offer to existing gen-set manufacturers. They will get even better adapted engines and even better support in the future. Scania said its new gen-sets are a perfect fit for continuous operation and unlimited yearly operation time at varying loads. The units are capable of providing 10% overload power for one hour in a 12 hour period, the company said and are available in fuel optimized versions or Stage 3a compliant versions. Even if prime power is the main target for the Scania Gensets, they can also be used for standby power applications, Sobocki said. In case of power loss, the gen-set will respond instantly.
The sets are designed to handle high load variations effectively and the Scania engines make a true difference when power supply is imperative. Scanias own systems for engine management and emissions control ensure an attractive blend of performance and operating economy, said Lars Eklund, Scanias sales director, Power Generation Engines. Scanias solid reputation for operating economy and durability, coupled to easy installation and emission compliance, fits perfectly in power generation, Eklund said. With the support of our global sales and service network, its a strong and flexible offering. The alternators used with the Scania diesels are to be supplied by Mecc Alte and Stamford. The brushless alternators incorporate fully digitally controlled voltage regulators with an accuracy of 1%, Scania said. Robust alternator winding protection is designed to ensure reliable operation in the harshest conditions. Following Scania tradition, the control panels are engineered to be intuitive and user-friendly, ensuring swift and secure operation. Data is clearly visible and readable also in dark conditions, and the display is designed to withstand tough treatment and foul weather. Control panels for multiple and synchronized gen-set installations are optional, as is remote communication and monitoring.

Scalability and flexibility is excellent, and up to 32 Scania Gensets with the same or different power outputs can be combined in order to match both the given load requirements and the demand for backup power, Eklund said. Furthermore, relatively small units that are easy to handle and to synchronize mean a powerful advantage when time-tobusiness is a crucial factor. Expanding the system when needed is also easy and the modular design of the engine allows for cost-efficient maintenance and high parts availability. Scania Gensets are based on a modular design, which is intended to simplify installation, service, maintenance and upgrading. The gen-sets can be configured in two versions, open or closed canopy, either tailored to meet specific application demands. Multiple installations of Scania Gensets are the most modern and flexible way to meet large power requirements, Sobocki said. Compared to bigger and more costly generators, multiple installations can excel in every discipline from availability, redundancy and ease of maintenance to overall system reliability. Furthermore, load variations can be handled more effectively and in a way that optimizes fuel economy, power output and engine service life. The closed versions of the Scania Gensets are installed in a soundapril 2013

Independence Drive Deutzs Future
Asia, China,
After guiding company through economic crisis, Deutz AG Chairman Helmut Leube sees global challenges, opportunities
We build no two engines the same. I would call us a mass manufacturer of individual engines. Further, the production we have put in can be easily expanded, it is a modular design and we can easily expand it with the same concept. It provides us with an opportunity to add capacity where needed.
Dr. Ing. Helmut Leube chairman of the management board, Deutz AG
By Mike Osenga
r. Ing. Helmut Leube became chairman of the management board of Deutz AG, the Cologne, Germanybased engine manufacturer, in February 2008. This meant that Leube arrived just in time to guide Deutz through the global economic crisis of that year and the mostly tepid recovery of the world engine markets since. With a doctorate in mechanical engineering from RWTH Aachen University in Germany, Leube joined BMW in 1987 and was department manager for engine production at the companys Munich, Germany plant. He was later department manager for purchasing engine and suspension, and project leader for production of the BMW 5-series. Subsequent stops included vice president of BMW Group logistics, president of BMW Manufacturing Corp. in the U.S. and chief operating officer of Webasto AG.
Since Leubes arrival at Deutz, the German manufacturer has expanded and changed its ownership structure with its major shareholders AB Volvo Group and the SAME Deutz-Fahr Group; expanded significantly in China through a variety of joint ventures including its recent Deutz Engine (Shandong) Co. Ltd. venture with Shandong Changlin Machinery Group Co. Ltd., a Chinese manufacturer of agricultural machinery and construction equipment that will build the model 2011 diesel in China. Deutz Engine (Shandong) is the third joint venture that Deutz AG has set up in China. Deutz AG and FAW Jiefang Automotive Co. Ltd. operate the Dalian-based joint venture Deutz (Dalian) Engine Co. Ltd., while Deutz and Weichai Power operate their Weifang Weichai-Deutz Diesel Engine Co. Ltd. joint venture in Weifang. Deutz AG also has a sales and service company in Beijing. Further Deutz supply agreements with partners Volvo and SAME have also expanded and changed significantly over the four years he has been chairman. Leube spoke with Diesel Progress about the status of Deutz today and the direction in which the historic German engine manufacturer may be headed.
Regarding the change in Deutzs ownership structure, specifically Volvo assuming the strategically important 25% (plus 1 share) position:
Volvo now is our biggest shareholder, Leube said. It is important to mention that we have had a very stable shareholder structure for many years with Volvo, and with SAME being our strong supporters during the financial crisis. What happened was a switching of positions. SAME resumed its 8.6% ownership stake and Volvo moved to the 25%-plus level. This underlines and strengthens our independence as an engine manufacturer. That is very important for us to remain and stay as an independent engine manufacturer in the future. continued on page 16

customers, Volvo and FAW (the joint venture in Dalian, China), plus many smaller customers with specialty vehicles, Leube said. Our relationship with Volvo Truck will now change. They decided, two years ago that they will use their own medium-duty platform from Euro 6 onwards. This will shift our main focus in the automotive business more towards China and FAW, so our venture in Dalian with FAW, which is a 50/50 joint venture, already has 80% automotive engines today.
But it is also important to have two strong anchor shareholders, which rely on our supply role in both the current business and the future business. Volvo is our biggest customer, SAME is our third-largest customer. Thus the share structure now also more reflects the business structure. For Volvo it is very important to underline our strategic partnership for the future. As you know we have some quite interesting plans ahead of us for expanding our current business relationship specifically in Asia.
Designed during the global economic downturn, Deutz has now come to market with a line of sub-4.0 L diesels, the 2.9 L and 3.6 L (shown here) engine families.
Deutz is currently finishing a significant expansion of production and engineering in Germany. Why now and why in Germany?
We are very proud of the fact that we designed and developed sub-4.0 L engines at the lowest point of the financial crisis, Leube said. As a result, we are now coming to the market with new engines, just in time, at the right point in time. We are proud of the new engine design, the new engine platform, and the new engine performance these new engines provide us with a lot of opportunities for the future. These engines are designed for both industrial and agricultural use

Regarding balancing Deutzs market segments:

This is a strategic focus lessons learned from the financial crisis, if you like. Leube said. We are a cyclical company, but we also want to reduce our cyclicality to a certain feasible degree and we are looking in-depth at expanding our global customer structure. We looked into the cycles of agriculture, the cycles of off-highway mobile machinery business and we saw that they follow more or less the same pattern, but with a certain delay. This gives us a certain degree of counter-cyclicality. In a normal crisis like those we have seen in the past (not the most

and they are structural engines, compared to our model 2011 engine, which while very successful in the market, was never designed for agricultural tractor applications. So with these engines we are acquiring new customers and new projects with existing customers. As to why now and why in Germany: We are on a journey of continuous improvement. We have improved our product quality. We have improved profitability and in addition to that we have also changed our production system, logistic systems, and the new assembly line for new 2.9/3.6 L diesels, and later on for 2011 engines. It is a completely different approach in assembly compared to the processes you might have seen in the past, which were highly automated processes, installed in the mid-1990s. Now we are looking at less automated processes, lean processes, flexible processes. The new 2.9/3.6 line is designed in a modular approach, decreasing cycle time, increasing efficiency. This concept, which you could call lean process, has been seen throughout the industry, but we modified it to fit our needs. We build no two engines the same I would call us a mass manufacturer of individual engines. This modular assembly line design serves also as a copy/paste model for the production system which we will install in our two new joint ventures in China. Besides the changes in production in Germany, we have recently completed a 6 million investment in a new R&D facility in Cologne. Our main engineering center for our base engine design is here and will remain here in the future. But we want to be closer to the customers with application engineering. We already do this in Atlanta for our American customers and in Beijing for our Chinese customers. We will expand this concept further through our growth and expansion within China.

centralized, but taking application engineering out to the major markets.
The focus of Deutzs most recent joint venture in China includes bringing production the companys popular model 2011 diesel to the venture for the Chinese and Asian markets.
Will Deutz still be independent 10 years from now?

Yes, of course, Leube said. We do have a globally known brand, a high-quality reputation. A reputation for premium product, excellent fuel consumption, good noise emissions, high-power density, good response, and with our new products we will further support this brand image.
Regarding China and Asia:

We are following our customers, Leube said. So Asia is priority number one. Within that, China is the number one priority. We not only want to expand our global footprint, but also to expand our research and development footprint, as well as our purchasing footprint, in Asia. One of those ventures has been announced with the Shandong Changlin Machinery Group Co. Ltd. This is a different venture from the past. This is a production joint venture only and we are the majority shareholder. This joint venture will produce the model 2011 engines and will bring this very, very successful engine to China. The thinking is that we will build the model 2011 engine for European and American needs here in Cologne and the 2011 engines for China and Asian needs will be built there. This is a good step forward for us. The general trend of growth for China is still there. The expectations of two to three years ago were perhaps too overly optimistic. Currently they might be overly pessimistic. We expect a steady growth and it will certainly be the most important area in the world.
We will certainly watch all that quite closely to ensure we install the right capacity, but we will create a production environment where we can add additional capacity if needed. This is also part of our production philosophy and our production design that we have put in here in Germany. The production we have put in here can be easily expanded as I said it is a modular design and we can easily expand it with the same concept. It provides us with an opportunity to add capacity where needed.
How will Deutz be different 10 years from now?

The biggest change I see is our organization, Leube said. We will drive the whole organization more internationally. We will increase our R&D footprint, our production footprint, our logistics footprint with our joint ventures. I do see the company much more internationally focused in 10 years than I see it today much more global. Talking about the organization being more global, our share of Asian sales will be much higher in the future. If you take our Deutz AG financial figures today and add the figures from our existing joint ventures which are not consolidated in our balance sheet, we are already quite well balanced. Europe no longer remains the main region where we sell products. If you look at it that way, it is already quite wellbalanced. But there is no doubt Asia will become more important for us. dpi
Regarding the future for Deutz:

First of all, it is taking our existing technology into new projects with existing customers, as well as new customers with our Tier 3, Tier 4 final, Tier 5 engines, in addition to our new medium-duty engine platform with Volvo, Leube said. Then part of our product strategy is to further provide what we call systems solutions in the future. The idea is not new. If you want to have an efficient machine, you not only need an efficient engine, you need an efficient powertrain. Our big customers do that systems integration or systems design on their own. Many of our smaller customers dont do it to that degree.

Compaction equipment specialist adopts MTU diesels with specialized cooling system for refuse compactors
first Stage 3b machines in the market. The BC 1172 RB-3 refuse compactor incorporates an MTU Series 500 diesel, based on the MercedesBenz eight-cylinder vee configuration OM 502 LA diesel. Bomag said it is using MTU/Mercedes engine technology for the first time and will adopt MTU Series 400 and 500 engines for other machines in its refuse compactor range. The engines deliver power outputs up to 440 kW and are based on the commercial vehicle engines OM 460 LA and OM 502 LA from Mercedes-Benz. In particular, these engines incorporate a cooling system that has been engineered specifically for this application, Bomag said. The company reported that, in the course of a field analysis in the northern part of the U.S.A., fuel consumption for the BC 1172 RB-3 refuse compactor was reduced by as much as 16.5% compared to the previous model, reducing costs by 13.3%. The machines also utilize the

According to Bomag, its customers can pay off the additional outlay at the time of purchase with the savings on diesel fuel alone, in a little over two years on average. Bomag said it would modify all of its refuse compactors with engine outputs over 130 kW and release them into markets adopting the newest emission regulations. Current Bomag machines will still be offered on other international markets that do not have the appropriate fuel available. Within the next six months, Bomag said all machines from 56 to 130 kW would follow suit, while those from 37 to 56 kW would follow later. dpi
ike all global manufacturers of construction equipment, Bomag is facing a challenge when it comes to diesel engines. While ever more stringent emissions levels are coming into play in much of Europe and the U.S., other regions are nowhere even close to being on the same levels, not to mention the myriad differences related to logistics, distribution, etc., related to operating in different countries. As Bomag noted in its testing, new engines developed to meet EU and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency emissions standards are highly sensitive to water and dirt and must operate on ultralow sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel. The availability of optimized fuels such as ULSD represents a great challenge to many countries around the globe. Yet Bomag decided that rather than view that emissions paradox as simply a challenge, it could serve as an opportunity as well. Thus the manufacturer has already placed its

ew Holland will introduce what it called the industrys first Tier 4 final compliant midsize crawler excavators at bauma 2013. The new E75C SR and E85C MSR excavators are powered by Isuzu AU4LE2X engines producing 42 kW net power. Both models meet Tier 4 final emissions standards through use of cooled exhaust gas recirculation (CEGR) technology combined with a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) aftertreatment system and do not require active regeneration of the particulate filter, New Holland said. The company said it based its Tier 4 final solution on CEGR technology for light-duty engines below 75 kW, where the compact dimensions of the machines create a space constraint. The two machines also incorporate

a new version of the companys Intelligent Total Control System (ITCS) that operates all machine functions. New Holland said the system relies on pressure sensors and a pump-solenoid valve to ensure a quick response to sudden changes in hydraulic load while minimizing wasted output. The result is up to 31.4% fuel savings with variable power control, optimized engine speed and pump torque in all operating conditions, the company said. Other launches at the show include the L230 skid-steer loader and C238 compact track loader. Both machines use Stage 3a compliant FPT diesel engine rated 67 kW to compete in the high-end segment of the market. The FPT engine also delivers a peak torque of 340 Nm at 1400 r/min, making available more pushing power and saving fuel, as

To complete New Hollands new crawler excavator range, the company is also unveiling three short-radius machines, the E230C SR, E260C SR and E160C Blade Runner. The E230C SR and E260C SR are powered by Hino diesels rated 124 kW, while the E160C is driven by a 74 kW Mitsubishi diesel. New Holland said all three crawler excavators meet Tier 4 interim emissions standards with CEGR technology and a DPF.

LOFA Industries has introduced the model CP620 control panel to its line of electronic engine controls. The new panel uses SAE J1939 protocol and is compatible with Euro Stage 3b/4 and EPA Tier 3, Tier 4 interim and Tier 4 final requirements.
New electronic engine control panel from LOFA aims to make things simpler for operators
OFA Industries Inc., Roswell, Georgia, U.S.A., has announced the addition of the new operator-centric control panel to its line of electronic engine controls. The new model CP620 panel uses SAE J1939 protocol and is configurable to most engine manufacturers application requirements and compatible with Euro Stage 3b/4 and EPA Tier 3, Tier 4 interim and Tier 4 final requirements, the company said. The CP620 is designed to minimize operator training and confusion, especially regarding operator inputs required for Tier 4 interim and Tier 4 final engines, LOFA said, adding that the CP620 Tier 4 panel has been designed to assist operators in the management of regeneration. A three-position rocker switch on the panel facilitates automatic and stationary regeneration, and inhibits regeneration commands without having to navigate through display menus that could require intensive training. LOFA said the operator activates the rocker switch in response to the panels displayed emissions-related icons and/or messages. An optional interlock rocker switch is also available in both CANbus and

hardwire configurations for engines requiring operator confirmation of a machines readiness for regeneration. The design of the CP620 includes a corrosion-resistant enclosure with a powder coating and IP-rated components. It also has a three-point vibration isolation system and simple mounting bracket to facilitate multiple mounting positions/locations. In addition, the CP620 has heavyduty, weather-resistant switches, including a key switch and single momentary switch that adjusts the engine speed for most electronically governed engines using CANbus throttle controls. Connection to the engine harness is via a 21-pin Deutsch connector mounted on the bottom of the panel. Custom adapter harnesses are also available, the company said. The display on the new CP620 is designed to provide a clear, concise display of J1939 diagnostic codes and emissions icons. The Tier 4 interim and Tier 4 final version of the CP620 features industry-familiar red and amber LED indication of alarm and/or warning conditions. LOFA said all the panels parameters can be changed in minutes in the field without a laptop and settings can be

password protected. The display has four pages with four gauges on each page that can be rearranged by the user. Engine J1939 generated alarms and codes are stored in the panels memory for diagnostics and review. The CP620 features custom configuration on two levels, depending on the frequency of needed changes, security requirements, and application or customer requirements. The display provides what LOFA said is user-friendly configurability and is password protected. Its options include (but are not limited to): customization of 16-digital or analog gauges, unit selection (English/ metric), backlight contrast, service timers and language selection. Further, with LOFAs CANbus configuration kit, custom application and customer-specific parameters such as splash screens, custom functionality, and maximum engine speed settings (within ECU default limits) are easily facilitated, the company said. The CANbus configuration system also provides for easy updates to firmware and allows for custom configurations to be saved and populated to multiple CP620 panels. dpi

Mobile Hydraulics
Stacke Hydraulik designs and manufactures all of its products in Skillingaryd, Sweden. All the important steps in the manufacturing process of the cylinders, such as machining, welding, assembly and painting, are made in the factory. A large part of every step in the process is computerized and automated, using advanced robotics.
Swedens Stacke Hydraulik focuses on engineered cylinders for mobile equipment

By Bo Svensson
ydraulics play an important role in mobile equipment used worldwide. One of the most widely used hydraulic components are cylinders, which provide the muscle to drive machine functions such as lifting and steering across a broad range of engine-powered equipment and vehicles. Swedish manufacturer Stacke Hydraulik AB is a specialist in hydraulic cylinder technology and said it has found growing applications from a range of manufacturers. You can find our cylinders in everything from construction equipment, trucks and forest machinery, cranes, mining equipment and in a variety of industrial applications, said Anders Stacke, managing director, Stacke Hydraulik AB. Most of the products are developed in close cooperation with our customers and this way the cylinders are tailored for high standards and our customers needs. With a broad program of standard hydraulic cylinders as a base, the
The Muscle For Machines
Providing
company also designs and manufactures customer-specific solutions. For us it is important to know how the cylinder is expected to perform and in what environment it will be used, Stacke said. Then we can assist in choosing the right cylinder and adjust it to a unique product for best results. We design and manufacture everything from control cylinders, telescopic cylinders and cylinders with cushioning, linear sensor and valve functions. In trucks, there is often a need for high lift heights. For this reason, the company manufactures cylinders with strokes up to 6500 mm. Hoists are often single-acting, either an in-the-flask sealed design or plunge configuration. Tilt, extension and outrigger cylinders are also produced for these applications. Large forklifts also need cylinders that can accommodate high lift demands, and Stacke Hydraulik manufactures cylinders with a maximum length of 6000 mm for such applications. A more delicate product is a cylinder
26
with a built-in linear encoder, which gives direct position feedback during the cylinder stroke. The linear sensors are built into the cylinder, a design that protects them from external damage. These types of cylinders are used in a variety of applications, particularly where there is a need to know the exact position of the cylinders, such as steering cylinders, positioning cylinders and in many industrial applications. The advantage of the linear encoder cylinder is that there can also be an adjustable cushioning function that can be programmed into wherever it is needed in the stroke. Cylinders with valve functions are used in a variety of areas with a need for increased safety and performance. The valve functions can be built into the cylinder or mounted directly on the cylinder to ensure that a lifted load does not fall if there is a failure in the system, such as a hose break. Common types of valves are safety valves, check valves and load holding valves.

400 bar. These cylinders are designed to withstand many cycles, tolerate high mechanical loads and face the likelihood that the piston rods will be subject to external forces. Because of this, it is important that the cylinder design allows easy removal and maintenance, which can often be achieved through use of a bolted fitting. The piston rods are often induction-hardened to resist external impact and strain. Mining is another area where the operating environment is harsh and cylinders can be exposed to high cycling and high mechanical loading. For these applications, Stacke Hydraulik offers heavy-duty cylinders with bolted-joint designs, friction welded piston rod heads and induction hardened piston rods for such services. We view ourselves as a strong partner in the hydraulics, a market which for Stacke Hydraulik is characterized by long collaborations with many well known companies in various industries, Stacke said. The core of Stacke Hydraulik is our design department, which houses priceless experience and thorough knowledge of hydraulics and mechanics. dpi
A forestry machine is exposed to extreme stress and requires cylinders that minimize downtime in the woods. The Eco Log 574C log forwarders have a 14 tonne loading capacity, incorporating Bosch Rexroth hydraulic and hydrostatic pumps and motors and hydraulic cylinders from Stacke Hydraulik.
Another high-technology product is cylinders with end cushioning, which Stacke said are used to achieve a softer running in the cylinder lock. The attenuation can be applied on the traction side, pressure side or in both directions. To provide a dampening effect, the flow of oil is decreased during the last part of the cylinder stroke, which increases the oil pressure in the chamber and slows down the cylinder movement. Vehicle-mounted systems can be used on all types of vehicles and mobile machinery. One example is the loading dock on the back of a truck, where the cylinders are often placed in tight enclosures. Both single- and doubleacting telescopic cylinders are suitable for these applications, Stacke said. The standard series DA250 (double-acting) offers working pressures up to 250 bar,
with diameters from 25 to 250 mm and stroke lengths from 10 to 6000 mm. Since cylinders used in these applications are often exposed to a blast effect and road salt spray, the surface of the piston rods are typically treated with a corrosion protection. Forestry machines, which are exposed to extreme stresses, are another difficult application for hydraulic cylinders. Because of the remote areas the machines typically work in only a minimum of downtime is acceptable. For these applications, Stacke Hydraulik produces cylinders from its standard DA250 series with an enhanced seal development and additional mounting variants. Construction equipment normally uses double-acting cylinders, which often operate with pressures up to

Magni Telescopic Handlers launching new machines to the market; new brand for veterans in material handling business
The Family Business
Back In
The new telescopic handlers by Magni incorporate a newly patented stabilizing system, with outriggers combining pivoting and extendable ends that connect to the frame ends without overlapping.
ugenio Magni is the third generation of entrepreneur in his family and he is now head of sales in the newly founded Magni Telescopic Handlers company. My family looks back to a few decades of activity in the field of material handling, starting with granddad Pietro, who founded Fargh SpA in Italy in 1972 and started producing telescopic forklifts in 1980, he said. Eugenios father, Riccardo Magni, succeeded his father in the company business and started a cooperation with the Manitou group that lasted more than 27 years until he left his position as managing director of Manitou Costruzioni Industriali in 2009. In the second half of 2012, Magni created his own company, Magni Telescopic Handlers, along with his sons and daughters. Now that company will introduce its brand new vehicles at bauma 2013. The telehandlers are divided into two main ranges the RTH range, composed of seven rotating telehandlers and the HTH range, composed of two heavy-duty machines for the mining and oil industry, with one additional model in development. The RTH range covers from 4.0 to
6.0 tonnes maximum loading capacity and from 17.50 to 29.90 m maximum lifting heights. The HTH range will ultimately cover from 15 to 30 tonnes maximum loading capacity, with the smaller 15 tonne machine still currently in the development phase. All these machines utilize Stage 3b compliant Mercedes-Benz engines, industrialized by MTU Friedrichshafen, with 95, 115, 150 and 240 kW output power, Magni said. For Stage 4 emissions regulations in the RTH
28
range, Magni Telescopic Handlers has just signed a long-term agreement with JCB for the exclusive supply of their Ecomax Tier 4 interim engines. JCB said one of the major Ecomax benefits is low fuel consumption and the engine, which has no diesel particulate filter, achieves savings of up to 10% compared to its Tier 3 counterpart, the company said. The engines are teamed with electronically controlled Bosch Rexroth hydrostatic transmissions and two osapril 2013

cillating steering axles from Dana. The drivetrain is engineered to provide fast travel speed on the road up to 40 kph while still providing an improvement in fuel consumption of 10 to 15% over competitive systems, Magni said. The load-sensing hydraulic circuit includes a Bosch Rexroth main variable displacement pump and SauerDanfoss latest SIL 2 valve system with electro-proportional control and instantaneous spool position detection. All the machines in Magnis RTH rotating range are assembled on two basic chassis models that incorporate
a rigid structure designed to prevent the frame members from twisting, even when subjected to considerable stress, thereby increasing the stability of the machine. Furthermore, the company has introduced a newly patented stabilizing system, which utilizes outriggers that combine a pivoting end and an extendable end. Both outriggers are connected to the frame ends on the same axis without overlapping, which allows them to retract into the frame structure, lengthening the wheelbase of the machine. This, Magni explained, improves load
capacity and facilitates the installation of Stage 4 engines, which are more bulky than earlier engines that did not require space for urea reservoirs. Dedicated software developed by Magni controls the active dynamic stabilizing system based on the extension length measurement of each outrigger. When the machine is insufficiently stable on its four feet, the system constantly calculates the bearing capacity and adapts the load chart of the machine to its real stability requirements. Magni Telescopic Handlers is headquartered near Modena, Italy, in a new 6000 m2 factory with an annual production capacity of 1000 machines. The company also developed and manufactures two special machine ranges. The Boat Eagle 509 and 512 marine lifting and handling systems have 9 and 12 m lifting heights and are able to handle and store boats up to 10 m in length in dry dock. The Rickilif 13, 15 and 18 machines, which are designed to manage the production process for palm dates, from pollination of the trees to harvesting the dates, have 13, 15 and 18 m working heights, respectively. dpi

By Roberta Prandi
visitor to Comer Industries can immediately sense that things have changed for the Italian manufacturer of powertrain components for the global equipment markets. The company has charted a new course in nearly every aspect of its business, from supply chain to quality, from product design to manufacturing operations. For the companys Planetary Drives and Axles operating unit, this has culminated in a completely reorganized and dedicated plant in Cavriago, near Reggio Emilia, Italy, and the launch of a new generation of axles and planetary drives rounding off the higher end of the companys ranges. Comer Industries has dedicated three years and substantial investments to carrying out a bold improvement plan, supported by Kaizen methods with more than 1100 employees involved in Kaizen trainDiesel Progress International
For Comer
ing. In the manufacturing area, the course changes have been enhanced by the Comer Production System (CPS), an integrated methodology that encourages people to support daily continuous improvement, which has been introduced into all business areas. In parallel, the companys industrial plan has put the strategy in practice with a program of rationalization and simplification of the operating units investments to this end have been 16 million in 2012 alone, a figure that is expected to increase in 2013 and 2014. A glimpse of the innovation wave that has swept through the company can be appreciated in the new Cavriago plant that has been transformed from a multifunctional site to an assembly facility fully dedicated to the axle and planetary drive platform for construction and industrial
applications. The plant covers an area of 15 000 m2 and employs more than 210 people. The highlight of the facility is the new assembly line for Comers new generation of rigid and steering axles; a modern and state-of-the-art area that will allow Comer Industries to serve its global customer base with quality products and the necessary flexibility at the same time. A new paint shop is also going to be put in operation in the course of 2013. The new assembly line is dedicated to the new generation axles, starting with the S-128 model already in series production. That is being followed by the new S-228 and S-238 rigid and steering differential axles that will premiere at bauma 2013, after completion of a full program of successful customer field tests, Comer said. The S-228 axle is available with a

dynamic load of 10 000 daN and a static load of 18 000 daN, while the S-238 model has a dynamic load of 12 000 daN and a static load of 22 000 daN. These axles are targeted mainly toward earthmoving ma-
chines and agricultural vehicles with gross vehicle weights up to 24 tonnes and 100 kW engine power. However, the axles braking systems and the capability of versions for vehicle suspensions with leaf and air springs, make it possible to use these axles on a variety of applications, including road-going vehicles, the company said. Completing its product program for the heavy-duty range, Comer Industries will also introduce a new track drive series at bauma 2013. The PGRF 7003, PGRF 9003 and PGRF 11003 have peak output torques of 70 000, 90 000 and 110 000 Nm respectively. The new PG 3503 PR slew drive with a peak output torque of 35 000 Nm. The new drives all feature three planetary stages reduction and have a wide range of ratios from 70 to 250 to fit a number of different applications beside the typical track mobile equipment, such as winches, milling devices and drilling rigs. All models are designed for the most common axial piston motors from 90 to 160 cm3, with variable or fixed displacement. A SAHR brake option is available as well and so is a disconnect option, for mechanical disconnect from the hydraulic brake. dpi

At the same time, Hatz said the engine offers low fuel consumption 210 g/kWh at the optimum point of the operating range, the company said. With low total cost of ownership as a key design goal in the development of the new engine, the H-series diesels will have service intervals of 500 hours. This is thanks in large measure to features such as a maintenance-free hydraulic valve train adjustment and a 7.0 L oil sump. Along with the H-series engines, Hatz will also show its 1D81 Hydro concept at bauma 2013. The prototype engine is based on the existing Hatz air-cooled 1D81 singlecylinder diesel engine, but incorporates a water-cooled cylinder and cylinder head and a compact radiator with no external water hoses. Even with the new liquid-cooling system, Hatz said the engine remains compact only slightly larger than its aircooled sibling. Hatz said that the purpose of the prototype development is to examine the effects of water-cooled technology on engine performance, noise and exhaust emissions. dpi
otorenfabrik Hatz is using bauma 2013 as the launching pad for a new generation of watercooled industrial diesel engines. The new H-series engine family of multicylinder engines will incorporate an electronically controlled common rail fuel system and is designed to meet stringent diesel emissions standards without a diesel particulate filter. Hatz, long recognized as a pioneer in air-cooled engines, will also display a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder diesel concept. The first model in the new H-series engine family is the H50, which will become available in early 2014. The H50 is an inline four-cylinder diesel with a displacement of 1.951 L that Hatz said is engineered to be the most compact, high-power density engine in its class. The engine will have a maximum power output of 56 kW at 2800 r/min, with a peak torque output of 240 Nm, which is available at speeds as low as 1600 r/min. The H50 incorporates a Bosch high-pressure, common rail system that can deliver injection pressures as high as 1800 bar. This, combined with an optimized combustion chamber geometry, results in reduced PM emissions and enables the engine to meet EU Stage 3b and Tier 4 final emissions regulations without using a DPF.

Sauer-Danfoss launching new steering system for medium and large machines at bauma
By Ian Cameron
Into Munich
auer-Danfoss will be presenting a range of new and established products at bauma 2013. Among the highlights will be the companys new steering solution for medium-sized to larger mobile machinery that Sauer-Danfoss said combines strong, everyday performance with the markets most efficient manual steering. Ready for launch at bauma 2013, the
OSPU steering unit offers flow amplification up to four times the units 60 to 125 cm3 standard displacement. That secures a total displacement range of 120 to 500 cm3 at a pressure of 210 bar, which the company said makes it well suited for approximately 89 to 186 kW tractors, backhoe loaders and other medium and larger machines. Sauer-Danfoss said it designed
the OSPU as an alternative to dualdisplacement steering units. Targeting medium-duty mobile machines, the first orbital motor and steering unit in the new V-Series will also debut at bauma. The first V-Series orbital motor is the VMP . Covering a displacement range of 50 to 315 cm3 and with a pressure capability up to 140 bar, the VMP offers the same space-saving and features as the Sauer-Danfoss O-Series orbital motors and is lighter, the company said. It added that by focusing on hydraulic work functions in the medium-duty range, Sauer-Danfoss has given the VMP the durability to last the lifetime of the overall machine. The result, Sauer-Danfoss said, is an optimized motor that reduces the total system cost of the entire hydraulic system. The VMP has been designed with less demanding or infrequent tasks in mind, said Knud Meldgaard, SauerDanfoss product marketing manager. That makes it of particular interest to manufacturers of seasonal machines, such as harvesters, and for mediumduty tasks, such as driving the conveyors on agricultural equipment and the brushes on sweepers. Other application opportunities include cranes, aerial lifts, seeders and spreaders. The VMP incorporates a high-pressure shaft seal, which eliminates the need to connect a drain line to the tank in many applications, significantly reducing installation costs, Sauer-Danfoss said. Other products at Munich include the Plus+1 controllers, the JS7000 joystick, the PVG16 valve, the new PVE-EX electrohydraulic actuator designed for mining and offshore applications, the EMD speed sensor and the H1 family of pumps and motors. dpi

soundproofing and the noise level for the operator inside the closed cab is 82 dB(A), with only 94 dB(A) outside. The Korean-built mini excavator has been fitted with a long life plastic air filter for easier maintenance and the company added that the long service life of hydraulic filters (1000 hours) and hydraulic oil (5000 hours) helps reduce operating costs. Lubrication intervals have been also increased from 50 to 250 operating hours due to the use of self-lubricating bushings, Hyundai said. The R25Z-9A has two travel speeds 2.5 and 4.5 kph which Hyundai said enables it to be used more slowly in a delicate work environment as well as be driven at higher speed to the work site. The new machine is 4.0 m long, 2.5 m high and 1.5 m wide. It comes standard with 250 mm rubber tracks for particularly low ground pressure and with blade. It has a wide range of optional attachments for use in construction, excavation and landscaping work. dpi

The configuration of the Spicer PowerBoost hybrid system in a 9 tonne front-end loader equipped with a Spicer 318 hydrostatic continuously variable transmission. For this application, Dana said the hydraulic accumulators would typically have a capacity of 50 L on each side.
Spicer PowerBoost hydraulic hybrid technology offers significant fuel economy improvements in broad range of equipment applications
By Roberta Prandi
ana has developed a new line of integrated hydraulic hybrid powertrain concepts for the off-highway market that will be introduced at bauma 2013. The Spicer PowerBoost system is the result of a three-year development program at Danas advanced technology centers in Belgium, Italy, and the U.S.A. The manufacturer explained that Spicer PowerBoost is a system for series or parallel hybrid configurations that supplements all types of transmission architectures and needs little adaptation work to fit into existing vehicle designs. Ettore Cosoli, head of the off-highway and specialty vehicle hybrid program at Dana Holding Corp. in Arco, Italy, said Spicer PowerBoost technology is ideally suited to applications that have frequent, intense bursts of acceleration, deceleration, lifting and lowering during cyclic maneuvering that support the recuperation of working and braking energy. These applications include construction equipment, material handling machines and onhighway vocational vehicles, all of which will be the initial target markets for the technology. The key function of the Spicer PowerBoost design is the capture of kinetic
powertrains A Boost
Giving
energy from the drivetrain and working hydraulics, which is recovered and used to help power vehicle functions. Dana calculated that Spicer PowerBoost technology could reduce fuel consumption in a typical front-end loader by 20 to 40% compared to conventional drivetrain concepts. The results, Dana said, were dependent on the specific application and the vehicle duty cycle. Cosoli said that at the core of Spicer PowerBoost is an advanced energy-management system that evaluates the levels of power needed in the entire vehicle system, predicts operating demands, and determines the most efficient means of operation. Hydrostatic energy is captured in an accumulator from the powertrain during low power operation of the engine and also recuperated from the braking and work circuits. This smart use of hydrostatic energy can help reduce total owning and operating costs, Cosoli said. In addition to that, the Spicer PowerBoost offers a great potential for the employment of a downsized engine. The chance to reduce engine size for power outputs from 55 to 250 kW will be especially interesting for applications that currently require an en-
gine at or slightly above the EPA Tier 4 final or Euro Stage 3b emissions threshold of 56 kW. The PowerBoost technology could allow a manufacturer to select a smaller engine for its machine, potentially avoiding issues surrounding exhaust aftertreatement. The Spicer PowerBoost system can also be configured to minimize idling by shutting down the diesel engine and utilizing stored energy captured in the accumulators to operate vehicle functions that consume low amounts of energy, such as inching, light working conditions and low travel speeds. Vehicle productivity could also be improved by shortening the length of time to complete a Y cycle, reducing the number of fuel stops and extending the period for brake maintenance, thanks to the dynamic braking effects of recuperation. The Spicer PowerBoost will be featured at bauma 2013 on the Dana stand as part of a compact 5.5 to 9 tonne front-end loader drive. In the second quarter of 2013, functional prototypes will be available for fieldtesting by OEMs, Dana said. dpi

EUs REACH and U.S.s Dodd-Frank directives aim to improve health and reduce use of Conflict Minerals, but add complexity to managing supply chain
Wolframite?
By Chad Elmore
ngineers and purchasing man agers worldwide have found their way through a maze of regulations emissions and operator safety standards, the Re strictions of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directives, etc. that have changed the course of supply chains and even the physical composition of the products themselves.
A screen shot from iPoints web-based Conflict Minerals Platform, or iPCMP.

But over the past several years, two new directives from the European Union and the United States could very well move the complexity of to days global business environment to entirely new levels. From the EU, there is the Registra tion, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) directive. And in the U.S., there is a new law that passed as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in 2010. Much like the RoHS and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) material directives, compa nies selling into the EU must also com ply with REACH, which seeks to protect human health and the environment by identifying dangerous chemicals used in all types of products. Lacking proper documentation could mean that whole goods may not be permitted to leave the ship at a European port of entry. Dodd-Franks Section 1502 requires that publicly traded companies in the
42
U.S. disclose the presence of certain minerals used in their products and whether they were sourced from mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Africa. Many mines in the mineral-rich nation are controlled by rebels or corrupt armies that have done terrible things to the people of Congo. While the worldwide popular ity of electronic technology which utilizes the ores from that region should be a boon to Congolese mine operators and villagers, much of the money from the mineral trade report edly never reaches the populace. In stead its often used to build a weap ons arsenal. Section 1502 seeks to disarm DRCs violence by restricting the market for minerals of conflict. Although there is a tendency to group REACH and Conflict Minerals together, they are two different regu lations with entirely different impacts. I believe Conflict Minerals is going to be very important for North American manufacturers, said Mike Pankonin, senior director, Technical & Safety Services, Association of Equipment Manu facturers (AEM), Milwaukee, Wiscon sin, U.S.A. For manufacturers that are exporting to Europe, REACH is going to be very important, and they will need to develop a plan for compliance. continued on page 44

mon. Gold, due to its superior electric conductivity and corrosion resistance, is also found in electronics. Wolframite is the principle ore of tungsten, used in wires and contacts in lights, electronics, heating and welding applications. The SEC provision also reserves the right to add new minerals, stating that the regulation can relate to any other minerals or their derivatives determined by the U.S. secretary of state to be financing conflict. In other words, stay tuned. The U.S. isnt alone in its effort to stop the carnage occurring in the DRC. The EU is considering similar measures, as is Canada. As part of the directive, publicly traded companies must demonstrate a good faith effort to identify where the minerals are coming from. This will be a challenge, Pankonin said. A large company may be using dozens if not hundreds of suppliers, and those suppliers are going be collecting this data for other customers at the same time. Supply chain due diligence means researching the chain all the way to a smelter. From there, filing companies and their suppliers must determine from what mine that smelter has acquired its minerals. The Congolese army has taken control of some clean mines in the DRC. Companies must go back through their entire supply chain, sometimes 10 layers deep, Pankonin said. Its a new process manufacturers must embrace one for which they must be able to demonstrate reliability and repeatability in finding the source of the material theyre using. The chance that the purchase of a new mobile phone could help fund a humanitarian nightmare in central Africa has brought the violence to the consciousness of the general public. The problem certainly isnt limited to consumer electronics. Manufacturers of farm and construction equipment must also be able to eventually document where their materials come from, Pankonin said. The larger the company and the wider their supplier base, the more important and complex this job becomes. OEMs are now sending out inquiries to their supply base to initiate a process to collect that information. Member companies in the U.S.based Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG) include car and mobile equipment OEMs and suppliers of all sizes. The group started early to find a common solution for supply chain transparency. A Conflict Minerals group composed of member companies such as Bosch, Navistar and Dana has been meeting every two weeks since 2010. The member companies realize they all have some degree of exposure in this legislation, said Tanya Bolden, development manager, Corporate Responsibility Program, AIAG, Southfield, Michigan, U.S.A. Even if they dont report to the SEC or are not publicly traded, many of their customers are. According to Bolden, the electronics industry was further along this path due to the use of the specific minerals in its products and had a good template for collecting data. The Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) developed the EICC-GeSI Conflict-Free Smelter assessment program system for data collection. The Conflict-Free Smelter program audits smelters worldwide and assigns a status that can be used by downstream manufacturers. Smelter information is the key to creating the Conflict Minerals declaration. AIAG and its Conflict Minerals group have collaborated with supply chain software developer iPoint-systems GmbH, Reutlingen, Germany, in the development of a software tool to help streamline the process. iPCMP (iPoint Conflict Minerals Platform) is a webbased data management tool that AIAG said will help supply chain participants in all industries identify whether their products contain these minerals and thus meet due diligence requirements. EICC-GeSI also provided input in the project. The Conflict Minerals requirements are generally viewed as quite oner-

Following the passage of the DoddFrank Act, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted its specific rules concerning Conflict Minerals on August 22, 2012. It includes a disclosure requirement that stipulates companies must perform supply chain due diligence in order to determine whether their products contain minerals from the DRC or adjoining countries. Their findings must then be reported to the SEC and the public. The act does not ban the use of the minerals, nor does it penalize manufacturers. Companies are required to file their reports for the same period a calendar year regardless of when their fiscal year ends. The first Conflict Mineral disclosure report is due on May 31, 2014 (for the 2013 calendar year) and annually on May 31 thereafter. This means companies need to be working on their Conflict Minerals report for the SEC right now. Decision makers at equipment OEMs will probably shortly need to become familiar with who their smelter is, along with what mine supplies the ore known as wolframite. The SEC identifies wolframite, along with cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, gold and their derivatives as minerals of conflict. Cassiterite is an ore thats used to produce tin, a material found in alloys, plating and solders for electronic circuits. Columbite-tantalite (or coltan) is the ore from which tantalum is extracted. Tantalum is used as an alloy as well as in electronic components tantalum capacitors are comDiesel Progress International

ous, said Thomas Bley, project manager, Sustainability, iPoint. Companies are struggling to find strategies that will enable them to reach down into their supply chain across several tiers to get the data. In most cases, the OEM has no idea where the minerals originate. There can also be an issue of secrecy among suppliers. It may not be possible for the OEM to reach down to the third tier and get this information. The iPCMP software enables companies to send invitations to all suppliers, allowing them to answer requests efficiently, Bley said. A large OEM will send a request to a Tier 1 supplier to collect the declaration from their suppliers, but it may be a Tier 3 supplier that has access to smelter information and source minerals, he said. Theyll create a declaration and send it to the Tier 1 supplier, which will roll it up with others and send the Conflict Mineral declaration to the OEM. In the time since Dodd-Frank passed, many companies have worked hard to understand what is required, Bolden said. Many suppliers have taken a proactive approach, providing information about their minerals strategy online, often under sustainability or investor headings. Kemets tantalum capacitors are conflict-free, said Daniel F. Persico, vice president of Special Projects at Kemet Corp., a Greenville, South Carolina, U.S.A., manufacturer of tantalum capacitors. As the worlds largest user of tantalum, Kemet took an early leadership position in the industry on the issue of obtaining certified conflict-free minerals.

For example, the ECHA recently recommended that formaldehyde, used as a hardener in epoxy resins, be placed on the SVHC list because its a carcinogen. If and when the chemical gets put on the SVHC list, it becomes a candidate for even further review and can find its way to the authorized use-only list. At the beginning of 2013, there were more than 130 SVHC substances listed and that number is likely to grow steadily. This will require manufacturing companies to track an expanding number of substances in their products. The Conflict Minerals regulation is a legal and financially driven initiative, while RoHS and REACH are EU substance-control directives and are more business-driven initiatives, Christensen said. RoHS said thou shall not use lead in solder, for example. With REACH you may use cadmium paint, but you shall tell the customer youre using it, and pay for the authorization to do so if the substance is included in the ever-expanding authorization list, which now includes 14 substances. The regulation requires that all substances manufactured or imported into the EU on their own and in products be registered when certain criteria are met. Under REACH, substances manufactured or imported on their own or

of life for the people of the DRC and a more stable supply of conflict-free capacitors for our customers. Other industry groups are also involved. The Tin Supply Chain Initiative (iTSCi) is a project run by Englandbased International Tin Research Institute (ITRI) that helps companies from the mine to the smelter establish processes necessary to perform due diligence at a practical level. iTSCi offers mineral chain information in keeping with the requirements of the EICCGeSI Conflict-Free Smelter program to help companies report on their due diligence efforts. AEM has also brought its members together to work toward meeting these types of regulations, Pankonin said. The danger when it comes to performing due diligence would be that each manufacturer develops a unique supplier form, saddling downstream companies with the unenviable task of filling out hundreds of different forms. Many small companies can be challenged in terms of the time they need to spend on compliance, Pankonin said. AEM is proposing to address these challenges as an industry as opposed to having each company work on its own. While there is no financial penalty, companies have to publicly report if the material they are buying may have helped fund violence in the DRC, said Dick Christensen, director for iPoints U.S.-based Sales Midwest office. Competitors that have done their due diligence will have a field day over those who fail to file with the SEC. Those that have done their due diligence will have a
great competitive advantage over those who have not, or are slow to start. Bolden recommended that these tasks be made a coordinated internal effort, not just the job of the purchasing department. We encourage them to include engineers, material managers and legal staff. And thats not even talking about the executive suite, as the CFO must sign SEC reports. Cross-functional meetings must be held for companies to begin to get at these issues. The ultimate goal is to drive compliance into product development, which is very important, Christensen said. When engineers design an engine they are charged with designing one with a particular output and size. Now they also must ensure the components theyre specing are free of conflict minerals. And if the engine is going to be sold in Italy, they must also have an efficient way to determine if its RoHS compliant and REACH reportable. REACH is a chemical regulation. EC 1907/2006 went into force in June 2007 and is to be phased in over 11 years, after which thousands of

in mixtures, as well as substances intended to be released from articles, need to be registered based on hazard classifications and annual volume. The registration of a substance is complex, requiring significant effort on the part of manufacturers and importers. It requires an understanding of how chemical substances are handled throughout their life cycle, and for hazardous chemicals a risk assessment is required. Manufacturers and importers must register the information with the ECHA, which is building a public database for the hazard information. REACH applies to legal entities established in the EU. Companies established outside the EU are not bound by its obligations, even if their products are exported there. In that case, the responsibility for fulfilling the requirements lies with importers established in the EU. Those importers will likely look to their non-EU suppliers for the information required to fulfil regulatory obligations. REACH rules clearly state that if theres no data, theres no market, Christensen said. You dont get to pay a fine and sell the equipment anyway it simply wont get unloaded without the proper documentation and declaration. For longer-lived goods such as construction equipment, compliance may be a little easier. Its consumables such as shoes and phones that may end up in a landfill or incinerator that the ECHA is most worried about. For SVHC chemicals, a threshold of 0.1% wt/wt is the limit of the total of each product for an entire year; if the substance is below 0.1% wt/wt the obligation does not apply. Suppliers must inform their customers about the use of SVHC in their products and OEMs must report that to its customers. In a January 2013 statement to a customer, Axiomatic Technologies Corp., an electronics specialist with operations in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, and Lempl, Finland, wrote that it has reviewed all chemistries used in the manufacturing of [the products in question] and no SVHC (Substance of Very High Concern) are used or added in our processes. We do not supply articles containing substances on the REACH SVHC candidate list in a concentration above 0.1% wt/wt. When updated candidate lists are published by the ECHA (European Chemicals Agency), we will review the process chemistries of our articles to identify any parts containing SVHC. Any articles with content above 0.1% wt/wt will be reported and customers receiving articles containing SVHC will be informed through e-mail. We have begun to engage our suppliers to seek formal assurance of their intention to comply with the requirements of REACH for substances they supply to us, so that these substances will remain available to use for use in the future. Directives such as REACH and Conflict Minerals may require some companies to add staff in order to comply with all of the requirements, AEMs Pankonin said. Weve seen a bow wave of regulations and some of them are quite onerous. I dont think you are going to see that wave slow down in fact it seems to be accelerating. dpi

Choosing The Right Wheel Drives

Increasing use of hydrostatic transmissions makes proper selection of wheel drive critical for successful application
By Dr. Wolfgang Fleischfresser any self-propelled construc tion machines use hydrostatic transmissions instead of mechanical drives. This means it is necessary to employ specific hydraulic motors and a great variety of wheel drive hydraulic motors are available today. In order to do a correct selection of the most suitable wheel drive, it is necessary to make some basic calculations and considerations, which are reported here in synthesis. First, we need to know the necessary traction force: F : F = (W x R x 9.81) : n (where F stands for Newton (N); W stands for the weight of vehicle (Kg); R stands for the slope angle () or traction resistance (%); and n stands for the number of drive wheels). Secondly, knowing the necessary

traction force, it is possible to calculate the torque (T), which is necessary to move the vehicle: T = (F x d) : 2 (where T stands for Nm; F stands for the traction force = N; and d stands for the external diameter of the wheel in meters) Remember to consider the number of drive wheels. For operations on normal ground, two-wheel drives are often sufficient. For off-road applications, four or more units may be needed. The next step is to calculate the running speed of the drive wheel and so of the hydraulic motor related to the required driving speed: V = 3.14 x d x n (where V = m/min; d stands for the external diameter of the wheel (m); and n is the wheel speed). Now we can establish the necessary power: P = (T x n) : 955 (where P = kW; T = Nm; and N = rpm) Having established the working pressure of the hydraulic drive system, it is now possible to calculate the
50
necessary displacement of the wheel drive motor: Q = (T x 62.83) : p (where Q = cm3/rev; T = Nm; and P = working pressure) The next step is to consider the load that must be carried by the wheel drive unit, and considering the known data of pressure, torque and speed we can start to select the wheel motor suitable for our application. Here it can be of help to consult catalog indications of specific torque, which is the necessary torque in Nm divided by the working pressure, thus: Nm/bar. At this point, other considerations must be pondered such as: 1. Do we need a special hub for the rim? Wheel rims nowadays are mostly standardized and many wheel drive motors can be supplied with a suitable hub, which is directly assembled onto the shaft of the hydraulic motor. 2. Do we need a braking system for the wheel drive? If the system works in an open loop, according to security standards, we need a dynamic brake and a parking brake. In closed-loop configurations, usually only a parking brake is necessary. The brakes can be of different design: a drum or disc brake can be dynamically actuated by a positive pressure actuator (foot pedal), and in addition it can be actuated for parking, mostly by a flexible cable. A negative disc brake instead is a purely parking brake and closes automatically, when no pressure is applied in the drive system.

when working at less than 700 r/min. Therefore their starting torque is also very low and their working pressure is limited, mostly to 250 bar. We can say that gear motors are not generally suitable for wheel drive applications. Vane motors have similar characteristics to those of the gear motors, while pressure is even more limited. Thus they are also not suitable for wheel drives. Orbit motors are very common on smaller machines, like compaction rollers up to 2.5 tonnes, wheel loaders, skid-steer loaders and aerial work continued on page 52
Small loaders and other types of compact construction equipment are common applications for hydraulic wheel drives through a hydrostatic transmission. The solution, however, is employed by a wide range of mobile machinery with two- or four-wheel drives and different degrees of sophistication.
3. Do we need a high travel speed when transferring the machine from one place to another, and a low speed when operating? This can mean that we need a two-speed wheel drive: high speed/low torque when driving on road, and low speed/high torque when working on the construction site. More sophisticated machines are often equipped with variable displacement hydraulic motors of variable displacement, where speed and torque are automatically regulated according to the operating requirements. 4. Does the hydraulic motor perform the necessary torque at operating speed? Quite often not, so the hydraulic motor must be combined with a wheel drive gearbox, usually a planetary. Planetary wheel drive gearboxes can carry high loads and can have an integrated negative brake. The wheel drive gearboxes can be of design to assemble semi-integrated hydraulic motors, so the wheel drive becomes very compact. 5. Will it be necessary to pull the machine? Over short distances only (some meters) in case of a breakdown, or over long distances?This is an important issue because it may be necessary to have to declutch of the hydraulic motor, or a freewheeling capability. Finally, we can proceed to consider the different types of hydraulic motors, starting with gear motors. These were used in the past also on wheel drives, but then replaced by other designs. Gear motors have a low efficiency

Radial piston motors have gained popularity for wheel drive applications, mainly thanks to the introduction of variable displacement variants and a generally more compact and lighter design. Shown here is a single-stage wheel drive gearbox with integrated radial piston motor.
platforms. As wheel type designs, they come with strong shaft bearings and with taper or spline shafts, suitable for the assembly on common wheel hubs. These motors are also available with parking brakes and/or drum brakes. The short motors, combined with negative disc brakes, offer a compact design and low weight. Some are available also with two-speed selection and others with declutch function. The main range of orbit type wheel motors includes models from the smallest (25 cm3/rev, a speed range between 25 and 1600 r/min and a specific torque of 0.33 Nm) to the biggest (800 cm3/rev, a speed range from 10 to 250 r/min and a specific torque of 11.5 Nm). As the torque is relatively low, orbit motors are often combined with planetary gearboxes with one- or two-speed reductions. The efficiency of orbit motors, at low speed (less than 25 r/min) is bad, so the addition of a planetary gearbox can greatly improve efficiency. Axial piston motors are very common on wheel drives. They are high-speed motors, so they need to be combined with planetary gearboxes. They offer very high operating pressure, usually 350 to 400 bar, some even more. Axial piston motors can have constant displacement, two-speed displacement or variable displacement, so they are very flexible and offer the ideal solution. The planetary wheel drive gearboxes can
be with or without brake and mostly also with mechanical declutch function for freewheeling. The axial piston motors are available from the smallest displacements of 5 cm3/rev with a speed range recommended between 600 and 8000 r/min, and specific torque of 0.076 Nm/bar to the largest model with 1000 cm3/rev displacement, a speed range between 300 and 1600 r/min and a specific torque of 15.9 Nm/bar. The efficiency is low at speeds lower than recommended, so the gearbox is a must when using these motors on wheel drives. These gearboxes must have two- or three-stage reductions. The big advantage is that these motors can operate also with very high speeds, and this is important for machines with frequent travelling. Radial piston wheel motors are commonly considered high-torque/ low-speed motors, and they lost importance in the recent years because of the heavy and voluminous construction and inflexibility of functions, when only fixed displacement models were available. In the meantime, this situation is completely changed, as radial piston motors today are available in compact designs with less weight, with two-speed options and also with electronically controlled variable displacement. They can be typical wheel drive motors, with wheel hub, drum brake, parking brake and freewheeling option while maintaining the excellent characteristics of maximum torque available over a wide range of speed. Radial piston motors have high efficiency at 5 r/min and the compact ver52
sions are suitable for continuous high speed up to 700 r/min. This shows how radial piston wheel motors are able to move construction machines without the need of a planetary gearbox or if more torque and less speed is required, a single stage reduction planetary gearbox is enough. The design of radial piston motors is relatively simple, so the motors are robust and reliable for long service. Thus, more and more hydraulic drives are developed with radial piston motors, mainly for off-road applications with four-wheel drive on machines such as diggers, drill rigs, rough-terrain cranes, and forest machines. As a final note, lets look at cost. For smaller machines certainly the orbit wheel motors, eventually with planetary wheel drive gearboxes, are the most convenient solution. Mostly, this kind of machinery also does not require the maximum torque at very low speed.
A typical two-stage wheel drive gearbox with semi-integrated variable displacement bent axis piston motor. As these motors can operate with very high speeds, they make an ideal choice for machines with frequent high-speed travel requirements.
Axial piston motors combined with planetary gearboxes are costly, especially if with variable displacement motors. However the operating features with axial piston motors are excellent, which gives them an edge with high-technology machinery. Wheel drive radial piston motors are becoming more appreciated, mainly for the versions with constant displacement, because they offer easy installation and control at a competitive price. dpi

Valmova Launches New Hydraulic Valve Line

By Mauro Belo Schneider
almova, a member of the Sauer-Danfoss Group, has launched a new line of hydraulic valves for mobile equipment applications. The Brazilian company said the ECO Platform valves are designed to provide improved performance with zero leakage ports and check valve functionality. The valves are available in three standard flow ratings 40, 80 and 130 L/min in open-center, proportional and load-sensing configurations. Besides Brazil, where it maintains a headquarters in Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul state, Valmova also has a plant in India. We have been in Brazil since 1974, producing direction-

al control valves (DCV stack valves), brakes and customized monoblock valves, said Rinaldo Fernandes, Valmovas general manager. We have our own sales organization, as well as a large number of distributors all over Brazil and South America. The Brazilian operation manufactures all three sizes of the ECO range, along with monoblocks for the agricultural market. In India, the company manufactures cylinders and brake valves and Fernandes said, we also plan to produce in the near future the ECO platform (ECO 40/80) in India. Caxias do Suls facility has currently 50% of capacity for the external market exporting to the United States, Mexico, Germany, China and all of South America with its biggest export markets in Argentina and Chile. The other 50% of capacity is dedicat-
ed to local market in Brazil. The Brazilian factory has design control for new product development. The Valmova operations cover a total area of 12 000 m2, with 8500 m2 dedicated to production. Fernandes said it is the only production site in Caxias do Sul to have 100% of its manufacturing area within a controlled temperature system (air conditioning). Since the tolerances for that products are very strict (metal/metal sealing), it makes a big difference at application, he said. The company has 190 employees in Brazil and 30 in India. We serve all mobile markets, es pe cially the agriculture, material handling, cranes, construction, road truck, sugar cane, among others, Fernandes said. The companys vision is to be your local partner providing valves with more value.

The name Valmova comes from that vision. Our value proposition is based in application knowledge, compatible technology and features at affordable price as well as cost effectiveness through operational excellence. We already have load sensing applications covered in the flow of 80 L/min. By the last quarter of 2013, we will be introducing the 40 and 130 L/min flows. The 40 L/min flow is something new for the Brazilian market. This small valve will be simultaneously launched in Brazil and India. Valmova India is developing cylinders and valves for brakes. Our intention is also trade these products in Brazil. Fernandes said that Valmova operates using lean production methods, and due to that, we are flexible in ramping it up or down. Today in stackable valves, we have a months capacity of 13 000 stacks. For special monoblocks, we are producing today approximately 10 000 pieces per month, 90% for export. On other valves and accessories, we have total monthly capacity of 15 000 pieces. Due to our lean manufacturing system, this capacity is managed and adjusted as demands variation. also started the process of manufacturing backhoes in Brazil. The company is transferring its Tultitln, Mexico, production line to Pederneiras, where it manufactures other equipment.

JLG Opens Renovated Distribution Center

JLG Industries Inc., an Oshkosh Corp. company and a global manufacturer of aerial work platforms and telescopic material handlers, recently debuted its newly renovated distribution center in Indaiatuba, Brazil. The investment JLG has made in the Indaiatuba distribution center underscores the companys ongoing commitment to Latin America, said Tim Morris, JLG Industries senior vice president of sales, market development and customer support Americas. We are now better positioned to support our customers as they take advantage of the many growth opportunities that are transforming Latin American into such an attractive and important market. The distribution center also demonstrates, in a very concrete way, JLGs commitment to Brazil and the local Indaiatuba economy, said Marcio Cardoso, JLG Industries vice president of sales and aftermarket South America. As Brazil prepares to host the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games, we are anticipating tremendous infrastructure improvements in the region. We have increased our workforce in Indaiatuba by 40%. The 11 200 m2 facility includes a renovated warehouse that accommodates a significantly larger parts inventory. Accessing those parts is much easier, thanks to a unique selection system, said JLG. JLG is the first company in Brazil to deploy the shuttle order picking solution in a distribution facility, said Donnell Mata, JLG Industries director of product support Latin America. This cutting-edge technology supports efficient business operations by expediting the picking process and enabling our employees to fill orders at a significantly increased speed. At the same time, our increased parts inventory contributes to improved fill rates for our customers. According to Mata, improved fill rates mean less downtime on the job site. And because JLG can provide more of what our customers need from a single, in-country source, they no longer need to import equipment and parts on their own, saving time and the extra costs associated with the importation process, Mata said. Our focus is to provide our customers with a life-cycle solution a solution that gives them not only the products they need, but also the service to support those products in the field. dpi

China Sees Growth, But Overcapacity Still Looms

By david phillips
ollowing the election of the new Communist Party leadership in November, Chinas construction equipment industry began entertaining hopes that economic growth could be bolstered by the new policies that might be implemented by the new leaders. In mid-December, the new central committee held its annual economic conference and set the tone for economic policy, although the transition of the state government will not be completed until its reelection this spring. The conference indicated that domestic demand should

be expanded in order to sustain healthy economic growth, despite the slowing down of foreign trade, through stressing the importance of consumer demand and investment. While the targeted gross domestic product rate of growth was not specified at that time (as a number of economists had expected), there was the feeling that it should not be lower than the 2012 level, when it ranged between 7.5 and 8%. The governments official forecast pegged growth at 7.5%. Thats the first time since 2005 that the governments target has been below 8%. The central committee conference said that the existing proactive fiscal policy and sound monetary policy should be continued and that the total scale of financing should increase by an appropriate margin. Nongovernment investment is encouraged, and public spending on infrastructure development intensified with the target to improve peoples livelihoods, while the duplication of construction projects was to be avoided. Financial risks were also to be controlled very carefully, the conference concluded. To stimulate domestic demand, the process of urbanization was given a priority, something that requires more of a balanced development among cities and townships at different levels, with a greater emphasis on improving the urban environment. It is believed that this should stimulate urban construction investment.

The countrys investment into urban utilities amounted to RMB1393.4 billion in 2011, a year-on-year growth of 4%. This, it should be remembered, is much lower than the growth rate of total fixed asset investment (FAI) during the same period. Although the acceleration of economic growth is not a definite goal of the new economic policy, investment is likely to be increased. The real growth of FAI bottomed out at 16.1% in 2011 and recovered to 18.8% in the first three quarters of 2012, but this is still thought to be lower than the level needed for driving ahead economic growth. The construction equipment industry should not be too optimistic about achieving a rapid recovery of new machine sales, given the large volume of new machines available in stock and the uncertain progress of the implementation of any new government policies. But what has been announced has generally been positively received by the industry, which has resulted in an improvement in market confidence and the financial environment. The accompanying table shows the combined third quarter results of the 11 manufacturers that are quoted on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges. These companies a list that includes Changlin, LiuGong, NHL, Sany HI, SCMC, Shantui, Sunward, XCMG and Zoomlion have seen sales fluctuate significantly over the last three years, and at the end of September 2012 their average operating margin has showed a decline on a year-on-year basis. Their receivables account is more than twice the amount of two years ago and inventories remain worryingly high. In 2011-12, most companies suffered from negative cash flow and their investments resulted in a net outflow of cash. At the same time, they have found it increasingly difficult indeed to attract outside investment. Although some of the leading companies have done well, the industry as a whole is now under great pressure to perform as well as it would like.
Will the industry recover in the short term? Even though the market might grow to meet new construction activity, excess production capacity will undoubtedly result in fierce and undisciplined competition. Despite the turbulence in demand and the deterioration of companies financial condition, the sector is still seeing the entry of new manufacturers. Indeed,
many companies have no idea about how to become profitable, as their policy is to rely on the support of their local government and impress outside investors with an unrealistic view of their potential. This is not sustainable in the long run, and highlights the weak conditions of the industry as it is currently structured. dpi

here may be exhibitors at bauma 2013 that take up more floor space than Scania. But it would be hard to find one that is offering a more comprehensive and diverse range of products than the Swedish manufacturer, which will show industrial diesel engines, trucks, generator sets and products from its mining range. On the industrial engine side, Scania will show its charge-air cooled, Stage 4/Tier 4 final 9, 13 and 16 L diesels, all of which incorporate Scanias XPI high-pressure fuel injection system. The 9.3 L engine is available in ratings of 202 to 294 kW at 2100 r/min with maximum torques of 1552 to 1876 Nm. It has a dry weight of 970 kg and is aimed at applications including reach stackers, dumpers, excavators and wheel loaders, the company said. Targeted toward dumpers, straddle carriers, construction equipment, screen ers, cranes and wheel loaders, the 12.7 L Scania diesel has a power output of 257 to 405 kW at 2100 r/min and maximum torque of 1950 to 2373 Nm. Dry weight is 1075 kg. The 16.4 L is a V8 engine producing 404 to 566 kW at 2100 r/min and
maximum torque of 2328 to 3183 Nm and dry weight of 1340 kg. It is aimed at defense applications, wood chippers, dump trucks and cranes. Both the 9.3 and 12.7 are inline engines and all three use cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) without a particulate filter. Scania will also display its advanced Euro 6 truck engines in Munich. Scania said its development strategy is to secure full control of all strategic steps in development and performance control. All development is in-house, including engine management, fuel injection and emission control. The Scania trucks that will be in Munich include the R 730 heavy-haulage tractor powered by a 16.4 L Scania V8 engine; the G 480 one-way tipper with a 13 L inline engine; the G 440 semitrailer tipper with a 13 L diesel; the G 480 rear-steer 24 tonne hook-lift with a 13 L engine; the P 400 lightweight mixer with a 13 L diesel; and the P 400 on- and off-road tipper. The G 480, G 440 and G 480 are already Euro 6 compliant, Scania said. The companys new heavy-haulage tractors can be specified with Scanias

most powerful, 16.4 L V8 engine that delivers 3500 Nm of torque, Scanias extra heavy-duty overdrive gearbox, Scania Opticruise automated gear changing, 9 or 10 tonne front and tag axles, 32 tonne hub-reduction tandem bogie, drum or disc brakes, air suspension or parabolic leaf springs and heavy-duty flitched frame. The 8x4 version can take on gross train weights of up to 180 or 250 tonnes, depending on the choice of axles and local regulations, the company said. An option for some applications is Scanias 13 L inline sixcylinder engine that offers torques up to 2500 Nm. Engines are also available that comply with the Euro 6/5/4/3 and EEV emissions levels, as well as Japanese regulations. Scania generator sets, launched in February at the Middle East Electricity Exhibition in Dubai, consist of open or canopy versions with a power range spanning from 250 to 600 kVA at 50 Hz or 280 to 665 at 60 Hz. Units can also be run in parallel for higher outputs. dpi

Mahindra Navistar Automotive said it expects to export heavy commercial vehicles (HCV) in the 16 to 25 tonne range to Africa in the next fiscal year.
tar International Corp. In December of last year, Navistar announced its intention to exit the joint venture and in February, M&M completed its purchase of the Navistar Groups stake in Mahindra Navistar Automotive Ltd. (MNAL) and Mahindra Navistar Engines Pvt Ltd. (MNEPL). Mahindra, which now has complete ownership of the operations, said it would continue to sell MNAL and MNEPL products. Navistar will continue sourcing components from India while Mahindra will continue to provide engineering services to Navistar. The Navistar group will continue to support M&M through license agreements and extend necessary support to MNAL and MNEPL for the purposes of business continuity. M&M reaffirmed that it is fully committed to the truck and engine companies and would focus on further leveraging synergies between these two businesses and the Mahindra Group in order to make the commercial vehicles business a success. The truck company recently launched a range of new models including the 25T tipper with bogie suspension and integrated applications like 31T coal haulage tipper and transit mixer.
Future plans include the launch of refrigerated trucks on the MN25 platform, which is a fast growing market. Mahindra, for its truck business, has 59 dealers and nearly a thousand service points across India.

Using four basic shell components, Mann+Hummels new MCR series of coolant expansion tanks can provide six tank volumes from 1.5 to 8.0 L capacity, in 24 standard configurations, for engines up to 280 kW.
erman filter specialist Mann+ Hummel has released a new line of plastic coolant expansion tanks for mobile offhighway and stationary applications with low- to medium-size production batches. Benjamin Funk, product manager Industrial Filters at Mann+Hummel, Speyer, Germany, explained that for more than 20 years, the company has produced customized plastic reservoirs in mass series production for the automotive industry, along with commercial vehicles and construction and agricultural machines. When serial production figures are high enough, it is commercially viable to develop a special tank design to fit the vehicles installation space. When it comes to vehicles with lower production totals, the development of a dedicated cooling fluid reservoir

is not an option because of the long development time and high investment for engineering and tooling. We have realized that a lot of OEMs tend to adapt already existing tank models for their vehicles or in some cases, rely on rather crude homemade solutions, Funk said. Mann+Hummel realized that it could combine the companys experience and competence in plastic coolant reservoirs with a smart, flexible solution that could be adapted to fit almost any requirement concerning size and mounting position and do so right off the shelf, without the need of costly engineering studies, special plastic molds or tooling costs for its customers. The new MCR series of coolant expansion tanks is a modular solution based on four basic shell components for two footprint sizes that can be combined to realize six tank volumes from 1.5 to 8.0 L capacity. This basically covering engines up to 280 kW, the company said. continued on page 68

The combination of the four basic shells and three additional accessory parts inlet port, outlet port and filler cap allows us to offer 24 standard configurations directly available from stock pieces, plus an incredible amount of other variants with just little modifications, Funk said. Our engineers have calculated up to 20,000 possible different variants and stopped counting. The MCR series retains the design characteristics utilized across the rest of Mann+Hummels customized coolant tanks. For example, the filler cap has a double O-ring seal and an integrated vacuum valve. The cap works as a safety valve with 1.0 bar overpressure threshold. Above that pressure, the cap pops open automatically to release the built-up pressure inside. Funk explained that the filling port
includes an integrated overflow functionality, with the possible addition of a hose to catch the overflow. The outlet and inlet ports are reinforced for a secure connection and commercially available hose clips can be used, the company said. The internal design of the tank features an advanced flow control to prevent the formation of air bubbles in the coolant liquid, Funk said. The special design is even able to perform a degassing function to remove air bubbles from the complete cooling system. The shell of the reservoir is transparent and special stickers can be provided with the tank to mark the minimum and maximum fill levels. The levels can be determined according to the application and its specific operating conditions. An additional scale of markings is im-
pressed on the outside of the shell for visual inspections. For mounting the reservoirs to the vehicle, the shells have four predefined fixing points for M8 nuts on each side. The tank can be fitted to flat, horizontal or vertical surfaces. Upon customer request Mann+Hummel can also supply an electronic level sensor, Funk said. This option is available for the horizontalmounted version of the coolant tank. The new MCR coolant expansion tank range is fully developed and manufactured by Mann+Hummel in the U.K. It will be available for orders starting in April and bauma will be used as a platform for the lines world premiere. dpi

Keeping
Bonfigliolis new 700CT gearbox result of partnership with Sauer-Danfoss
onfiglioli has launched a new gearbox targeted toward compact track loaders to 5 tonnes with engines to 80 kW. The new 700CT Series travel drive gearbox can be specified with a new integrated hydraulic motor and is fully interchangeable with the existing Bonfiglioli 700CK Series in closed-circuit applications as it has the same chassis-side and sprocketside dimensions. At the same time, the new 700CT gearboxes offer enhancements in efficiency and reliability, the company said. The 700CT development is the result of an agreement with Sauer-Danfoss for the supply of the hydraulic motors cylinder block. Bonfiglioli said that this feature, together with other design improvements, assure more speed, traction and a better maneuvering response. Among the other new features of the 700CT Series is the positioning of the speed sensor, now located in a safer and more protected position. The new hydraulic motors also have a new internal full-flushing system, for improved hydraulic motor cooling, resulting in a longer service life and a reduction in the machines performance fluctuations. A new parking brake has also been adopted for more travel drive efficiency and reduced power dissipation at all travel speeds, Bonfiglioli said. The 700CT Series is available in four sizes with a broad range of control ports and hydraulic motor oil inlets and outlets available. Bonfiglioli said the different configurations are obtained from the same casting, which helps maintain a simple installation for the user and maximizing production flexibility for the manufacturer. dpi

Yanmars 4TNV86CT diesel has a maximum rating of 35.5 kW at 3000 r/min and is one of a range of engines the company will be showing at bauma 2013 that meet California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Environmental Protection Ageny (EPA) Tier 4 standards.
New Tier 4 Diesels

By Ian Cameron
anmar will unveil its new water-cooled, Tier 4compliant diesel engines at bauma 2013. The company said it is the first manufacturer to have been certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for diesel engines in the 19 to 56 kW range, along with achieving U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tier 4 compliance. One of the significant keys to Yanmars emissions strategy is the use of an actively regenerated diesel particulate filter (DPF), which the company said helps to achieve low lube oil dilution by fuel oil, which helps provide longer DPF service life and durability, the company said. In addition, maintenance intervals have been extended and fuel consumption is reduced when compared to other engines, Yanmar said. The full CARB range, based mainly on the TNV series, comprises three- and four-cylinder diesels with mostly indirect injection (IDI) up to 19 kW and direct injection (DI) from 19 kW to 56 kW. TNV engines on display in Munich include the 4TNV88C, 4TNV86CT and 4TNV98C. Rated outputs for those engines

are 17.8 kW at 3000 r/min (3TNV80F), 35.5 kW at 3000 r/min (4TNV86CT), 44 kW at 3000 r/min and 51.7 kW at 2500 r/min (4TNV98C). New engines with an output below 19 kW are the 3TNM74F (IDI), 3TNV74F (IDI), 3TNV80F (IDI) and 3TNV88F (DI). Yanmar said the first three of those engines offer 100% interchangeability with existing engines and all comply with the latest Tier 4 final emissions under application of the NTE regulations. This allows customers to use Yanmar engines at high altitudes worldwide, including in the U.S.A., the company said. The existing range, with an output between 19 kW and 56 kW, has been modified to meet the current emissions standards. This includes the 3TNV88C/3TNV86CT (DI), 4TNV88C/4TNV86CT (DI) and 4TNV98C/4TNV98CT (DI) engines. dpi

Ready For
Their Close-Up
By Ian Cameron
JCBs Ecomax-powered construction machines debuting in Munich
JCB will display a range of new machines at bauma, much of which is powered by its own Ecomax diesel engine. The new 427 wheeled loader is one of the exceptions, as a Cummins diesel is teamed with a ZF powershift transmission.
CBs solution to EU Stage 3b and EPA Tier 4 emissions regulations will be shown for the first time at bauma 2013 as machines powered by the companys Ecomax engine make their debut. The diesels meet Stage 3b/Tier 4 interim emissions levels without the use of diesel particulate filters (DPF) or other aftertreatment. Instead, JCB has met the regulations through the use of in-cylinder technologies, eliminating the need for any external exhaust aftertreatment no DPF or additives such as AdBlue that reduces operating costs, JCB said. The JCB Ecomax engine output range has been extended both up and down and will be fitted into machines spanning the 55 to 129 kW range, including JCB backhoe loaders, Loadall telescopic handlers, wheeled loading
shovels, the TM range of telescopic boom wheeled loaders, JS excavators, rough-terrain forklifts and skidsteer loaders. On JCBs 3CX and 4CX backhoe loaders, the Ecomax will be available with a 55, 68 or 81 kW rating and will offer increased torque over its Stage 3a/Tier 3 predecessors with fuel savings of 5%, 4% and 2% respectively, the company said. The launch of the JCB Ecomax engine coincides with the introduction of other machine improvements for backhoe loader users, JCB said. Machines fitted with the Ecomax engine will now also have, as standard, 165 L/min variable flow hydraulic pumps. JCB said the pumps are configured to match hydraulic flow and pressure to the demands placed on the system, leading to a further fuel ef76
ficiency improvement of up to 6% on top of that achieved by the Ecomax engine. The new variable-flow pump also results in lower lever efforts, reduced noise levels and rapid control response for up to 30% faster cycle times, the company said. The backhoe loader range also receives an uprated Powerslide system using a larger hydraulic ram, providing increased side shifting capability at lower engine speeds. On JCBs Loadall telescopic handler platform, the JCB Ecomax engine will be available in three power ratings dependent on machine model and target customer 55, 81 or 93 kW. The 55 kW engine produces 6% more torque and 5% more power at low revolutions than the previous Stage 3a/ Tier 3 engine, resulting in comparative performance but with significantly reapril 2013

duced fuel consumption, according to the company. Aimed at owner-operators and contractors, customers taking the 81 or 93 kW engines will see an average of 15% increase in torque and 10% boost in available low speed power. A variable-speed cooling fan is standard on these two engines and will reduce fuel consumption as well as engine warmup time, JCB said. The 68 kW Ecomax engine will initially be installed on three of JCBs midrange JS excavators, the JS115, JS130 and JS145. The new engine installation has been coupled with the optimization of the machines hydraulic circuit and pump configuration which, when combined, has resulted in fuel savings of up to 10% and a 3 dB(A) reduction of in-cab noise. The introduction of the 93 kW Ecomax engine on JCBs largest telescopic boom wheeled loader has also provided the opportunity to further improve its productivity with a 100 kg increased lift capacity. This has been achieved by repositioning the machines JCB front axle, mitigating the need to add any additional counterweight. The new engine installation has been introduced inline with the standard fitment of a hydraulic variablespeed cooling fan along with the introduction of a refined transmission with TorqueLock in fifth and sixth gears. This contributes to a combined fuel saving of up to 4% while reducing cycle times and improving operator comfort, the company said. The operation of the updated transmission has been simplified, with all shift functions now integrated onto the
single right hand control lever. The transmission dump has been moved to the foot brake for multifunctioning when loading or rehandling. JCB said the no-aftertreatment approach allows the introduction of a recalibration option, enabling JCB dealers to recalibrate the Ecomax engine to lower injection pressures and turn off the EGR function without any hardware changes. JCB said this recalibration takes the engine out of the emissions tier system, and opens it up for export to less-regulated countries that only offer lower quality, higher sulfur content fuels maximizing the residual value without losing Ecomax advantages. Also at bauma, JCB will launch two new wheeled loaders the 427 and 437 replacing the 426 and 436 and powered by Cummins QSB 6.7 L engines. The 437 delivers 129 kW equivalent to the outgoing 436 model. The 427 offers 118 kW as well as a 9.4% increase in torque, taking it to 801Nm. A ZF four-speed automatic powershift transmission comes as standard with a new optional five-speed powershift box also available. Also debuting is a new 4CX Wastemaster backhoe loader into the JCB range for the waste and recycling industry driven by an 81 kW Ecomax diesel. Also unveiled in Munich will be the 20-tonne JS20MH JCBs first dedicated material handler for the waste and recycling industry and powered by a 97 kW Dieselmax engine. dpi

helping to maintain the engines compact dimensions, the company said. Alongside the 854F-E34TA, Perkins will also display its 400 and 1200 Series diesels. The single turbo 1206F-E70TA offers up to 151 kW at 2200 r/min, with maximum torque of 870 Nm at 1400 r/min. In developing the 1200 Series, Perkins said it sought to minimize the impact of the aftertreatment required to meet Stage 4/Tier 4 final requirements, in particular the significant reduction in NOx. Perkins said it has achieved this through packaging the DOC, the DPF canister and the SCR system into one integrated module that can be positioned in a machine chassis or directly on top of the engine. The module is engineered to minimize the space taken in the engine bay and incorporates features to ease installation including flexible inlet and outlet options, preinstalled

New compact four-cylinder diesel highlights Perkins full-line bauma 2013 appearance
erkins is showing its lineup of EU Stage 4/EPA Tier 4 final engines up to 225 kW at bauma 2013, spearheaded by the new compact four cylinder 854FE34TA diesel. The 854F-E34TA diesel incorporates specially optimized selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology for the first time. The system is packaged separately from the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) module, which the company said gives OEMs greater installation flexibility in the engine bay. Space saving is improved through the absence of a diesel particulate filter (DPF), Perkins said. Performance of the 854F-E34TA has been increased to 90 kW, while the 8% improvement in specific fuel consumption gained at Stage 3b/Tier 4 interim has been retained. Heat rejection remains similar to its predecessor, meaning no major changes to the size of the cooling package,
electronics and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) line hookups. Also on show is the single turbo aftercooled 1204F-E44TA, producing 110 kW with aftertreatment comprising DOC/SCR modules that remove the need for any regeneration strategy for soot, since the formulation of particulate emissions is prevented in the combustion process, Perkins said. The small size of the DOC/SCR module means it can be mounted in a variety of remote locations, freeing up space in the engine bay, especially in more compact equipment. Perkins said it also offers the option of a service-free DPF aftertreatment unit to meet specific OEM requirements. The range is completed by the 404F-22, which meets Stage 3b/Tier 4 final regulations. The four-cylinder, 2.2 L model is naturally aspirated and produces 36.4 kW at 3000 r/min and 143 Nm of torque at 1800 r/min. The only addition that equipment manufacturers will see is the aftertreatment, which the company said has been designed to be compact with flexible mounting arrangements to ease installation. dpi

Volvos ECR25D short swing radius excavator is one of three new compact excavators that will debut at bauma 2013.
Small Is Big
Three new compact excavators, new asphalt paver among products to be unveiled in Munich
By Ian Cameron
for Volvo
olvo Construction Equipment (VCE) will introduce a range of new products at bauma 2013, including three compact excavators and an asphalt paver. Driven by Volvo diesel engines, the ECR25D, ECR58D and ECR88D short swing radius excavators are suited to operating in more space restricted areas. They have a narrow body design and centrally positioned boom on the ECR58D and ECR88D, and the superstructure swings within its track shoe, the company said. The ECR25D excavator only exceeds its track width when equipped with an additional counterweight.
Power for the ECR25D excavator is from the Volvo D1.1A diesel rated 15.5 kW, while the ECR58D is equipped with a four-cylinder D2.6A diesel engine rated 36.5 kW and meets Tier 4 final/Stage 3a emissions regulations, the company said. The ECR88D excavator has a four-cylinder D2.6H Tier 4 final/Stage 3b engine rated 43 kW. An auto-idling system is designed to reduce engine speed when the controls are inactive for a specified time (operator preset on the ECR58D and ECR88D via the display between 3 and 20 seconds), reducing running costs and fuel consumption, said VCE. Also new at bauma is the Volvo
P6870C ABG paver equipped with a Stage 3b Volvo D6 engine delivering 129 kW. The paver is also available with a Volvo D6 Tier 3 engine for nonregulated markets. It is equipped with three drive modes: paving, shunting and transport. In paving mode, smart power mode is the default setting, which lowers noise and cuts fuel consumption by up to 30%, the company said. Full engine speed can be selected if paving conditions require full power. Volvo wheeled pavers offer an extra mode called shunting mode for maneuvering, loading and unloading. In this mode, paving functions are deactivated and active steering is engaged for turning with a tight inner radius of 2.5 m. In transport mode, full travel speed is initiated for quick relocation, and automatic idle occurs when the paver is not in motion. Both shunting and transport modes regulate engine speed proportionally to promote fuel economy, the company said. Also at bauma, the company will unveil three new models of ultrahigh-reach excavators the 21 m reach EC380DHR, the 27 m reach EC480DHR, and the 32 m reach EC700CHR all tailored toward demolition at heights. All Volvo HR machines can be fitted with both high-reach equipment and a standard boom-andarm configuration. The EC380DHR and EC480DHR excavators are equipped with Volvo D13 Tier 4 interim/Stage 3b certified engines with gross outputs of 215 and 265 kW respectively. The EC700CHR excavator is powered by a Volvo D16E EAE3 engine producing 346 kW gross output. dpi

HED has developed a new data logging and telematics system designed for vehicles and equipment with electronic engines. The CANect system can provide machine manufacturers and operators with real-time information on vehicle location and status of engines and components. The system is being distributed in Europe, Asia and Middle East by Switzerland-based Huegli Tech.

the node for the whole system and can serve both as the vehicle main controller as well as provide communication and data logging capabilities. Huegli Tech said that this approach eliminates the cost of having two controllers in the system. Furthermore, the robust IP-67-rated module can be equipped with either GSM cellular or Wi-Fi communications that can both be connected to the secure HED telematics web portal. The CANect module can also be fitted with an SD chip for logging up to 8.0 GB of data locally on the device. This data can be accessed via Wi-Fi, GSM or can be automatically downloaded on to a USB memory stick via the USB host connection on the module. In addition, the CANect module is equipped with a real-time clock, three-axis accelerometer and up to three CAN ports. All the collected information can be pushed to an OEM/fleet man82
ith the exponential growth of electronic controls being integrated into mobile equipment for off-highway applications, vehicle and equipment manufacturers have been looking for ways to take advantage of the great amount of electronic data now available. Toward that end, North American vehicle control specialist HED has introduced CANect, a powerful and configurable telematics and data logging system that is distributed in Europe, Asia and Middle East by Switzerlandbased Huegli Tech. CANect is a system comprised of hardware and software designed to convert vehicle data into information that can be accessed by users anywhere in the world via a computer or mobile phone. CANect uses a Freescale 32-bit microprocessor based on the PowerPC platform the CLT00-100 CANect module which is
ager FTP site for post processing or can be displayed on the CANect telematics web portal. This website can control and monitor up to 4000 vehicle parameters, such as engine and transmission data, vehicle location and heading, hydraulics system status and many others. However, the true power of the CANect telematics solution is in the configurability of the module and the web portal, Huegli Tech said. The OEM can specify which system variables they want to track on the website and how often these variables are updated. Each machine can be custom configured without rewriting code or contacting HED to customize the website. In addition, a user can select the vehicle diagnostic mode (data acquisition) on the web portal; the vehicle will track and record data for up to 20 variables every 10 ms for specified length of time. This data can be charted directly via the web portal or downloaded as an Excel file for further analysis. This information can then be used to diagnose hard-tofind issues on the machine. According to Huegli Tech, another challenge for OEMs dealing with electronics is servicing and updating application code on vehicles that are in the field. The process can be expensive

and time-consuming, usually involving the training of entire dealer network. With CANect, communication with the vehicle control system can be done also wirelessly via the web portal, so the OEM or fleet manager can access the vehicle from their office and assist the dealer in troubleshooting their vehicles. To further reduce the cost of service, HEDs CANect system provides bidirectional communications capabilities. Via the web portal CANect will allow OEMs the ability to download application code, firmware or EEPROM settings to the vehicle control module, regardless of its location.
CANect is also a valid tool for predictive maintenance information. The system can monitor parameters such as hydraulics pressure so when system pressure no longer reaches a required set point, the vehicle owner is notified to investigate. The CANect system can also reduce downtime and service costs by providing service technicians with extensive diagnostic information prior to arriving at the vehicle in the field. The technician can then be equipped with the right tools and service parts to make an efficient service call and get the vehicle up and running quickly. To help drive operators and vehi-
cles to perform at optimal levels, the CANect system can monitor a number of variables, such as RPM, brake, acceleration, idle time and provide a comprehensive operator rating. For example, if an operator maintains unnecessarily high engine speeds when stationary, the fleet supervisor can be notified. By changing the operator behavior, the vehicle efficiency and productivity could be improved. With CANect as a fleet-management tool, fleet managers can quickly draw a geofence for a specific vehicle and set alerts and alarm conditions that will be automatically distributed to assigned individuals via text or e-mail. In addition, this precise information can be formatted in periodic reports that are sent out via e-mail to specified employees. dpi

With the stop/start technology, a machines engine can be automatically shut down when the engine idles more than a preset time span usually about five to 10 seconds, Volvo Penta said. When the operator activates any of the machines controls, the engine is restarted and quickly ramped up to operating speed. The automatic start/stop function is an optional accessory and in operation can be deactivated and reactivated when needed, Volvo Penta said. dpi
Industrial and mining engines now available with automatic stop/start system
olvo Penta will display its newest diesel engines at bauma 2013, including industrial engines that incorporate the manufacturers new automatic start/stop function for industrial and mining applications. Volvo Penta said the engines provide outstanding ventilation rates and comprise 18 variants, nine certified for Tier 2 and nine for Tier 4 interim. The Tier 2 engines are the TAD 941/1340/1341/1342/1343/1344 VE series ranging from 224 to 357 kW, along with the TAD1640/1641/1642 VE B series, which ranges between 411 to 522 kW. The Tier 4 interim engines
are the TAD1360/1361/1362/1363/ 1364/1365 VE series, rated from 259 to 411 kW and the TAD1660/1661/1662 VE series rated between 411 and 522 kW. All of the Tier 4 interim engines are equipped with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems. Focusing on its stop/start technology, Volvo Penta said fuel consumption is the biggest cost for operators of industrial equipment in areas such as material handling, construction and mining. As fuel can represent as much as 90% of the lifetime operating costs for any application, a savings of 5% is extremely valuable, the company said.

Bobcat had its first showing of the new generation T770 compact tracked loader at bauma China.
Doosan LAUNCHES Range Of Machines For Chinese Market

By Ian Cameron
he bauma China show was the stage from which a wide range of new products from Doosan Infracore Construction Equipments Doosan Heavy, Bobcat and Doosan Portable Power business unit were to be launched to the Chinese market. The new DA40 articulated dump truck (ADT), which the company said has been optimized for extreme offroad performance, was exhibited for the first time. It is powered by a sixcylinder Scania DC13 Tier 2 diesel engine with a gross power output of 368 kW at 2100 r/min and offers a 10% increase in engine power compared to the previous MT41 truck, along with a 22% increase in gross torque to 2373 Nm at 1300 r/min. The Doosan Heavy display also included the first showing of the newgeneration DL550 wheel loader, the top-of-the-range model in the companys new family of wheel loaders for markets worldwide. With a bucket capacity of 5.4 m, the DL550 is for a range of material-handling needs
from loading and transporting granular material to industrial, mining and quarrying applications. Doosan said a key feature of the DL550 is the Tier 2 12.7 L Scania DC13 turbocharged, air-to-air intercooled diesel engine, which delivers a maximum output of 294 kW at 2100 r/min. The high engine power output is combined with a new ZF transmission. One of the other main attractions was Doosan Heavys new DX700LC tonne crawler, the top model in the companys excavator range designed for heavy-duty mining and quarrying applications and major infrastructure projects. It is powered by a six-cylinder common rail Isuzu AH-6WG1X turbocharged diesel engine providing 345 kW at a maximum governed speed of 1800 r/min. The engine meets EPA Tier 3/EU Stage 3 a requirements, the company said. Bobcat had its first showing of the new-generation T770 compact tracked loader and A770 all-wheel steer loader. Powered by a 68.6 kW
Kubota V3800-DI-T-E3 diesel engine with a rated speed of 2400 r/min, the T770 and A770 replaced the T300/ T320 and A300 models, respectively. Both loaders offer higher rated operating capacities and increased engine and hydraulic power, allowing users to take on new, more demanding applications, the company said. The rated operating capacity and tipping load for the T770 are 1611 kg and 4602 kg, respectively. The T770 loader has an operating weight of 4683 kg. The A770 has an operating weight of 4291 kg, a rated operating capacity of 1550 kg and a tipping load of 3100 kg. Doosan also showed the G630E generator, which has a prime output of 495 kW. The G630E is the largest model in the companys 10-model diesel generator range with prime outputs from 20 to 495 kW. The G630E is powered by a Doosan P222LE-S diesel engine. dpi

Also at bauma, KTR will outline extensions to its BoWex-Elastic HE Series flexible flange couplings designed to reliably transmit torque, compensate for misalignment in the drivetrain and dampen vibrations in the drive system. BoWex-Elastic HE Series couplings have already been applied in construction equipment and other mobile machines, but it is now being supplemented by three additional sizes targeting higher performance ranges. In future the couplings will be able to transmit torques up to 20 000 Nm and can therefore be used on diesel generator sets, biogas plants and other higher powered stationary and mobile drive systems. dpi

erman power transmission specialist KTR will use bauma 2013 to present its latest product developments, highlighted by the launch of its new Monolastic 75 coupling. The Monolastic coupling series is mainly used in hydrostatic drives and is engineered to compensate for misalignment and provide elastic damping of torsional vibrations. The series has previously been available for drive systems up to 120 kW. The new Monolastic 75 can be used with diesels up to approximately 250 kW and has a permissible rated torque of 1500 Nm. Like the other couplings in the range, the new Monolastic 75 is designed to compensate for high radial and angular displacements. As a consequence, the power segments of the drive system are less heavily loaded, which results in a longer service life, KTR said. The preassembled hub can be provided with the requested spline configuration. This allows for a simple

New hydraulic accumulators by Freudenberg Sealing Technologies use lightweight materials instead of the metallic materials formerly used. They are used for the start/ stop function in modern transmissions and for the storage of brake energy in energy recovery systems.
MOBILE HYDRAULICS
Always At The Ready

ydraulic accumulators have been shown to be an efficient way to provide hydraulic pressure in a range of different applications. German manufacturer Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has developed a range of hydraulic accumulators designed for use in dual-clutch or automated manual transmissions. In the field of transmission technology, the pressure needed for start/ stop applications in automatic torque converters and dual-clutch transmissions is a key function and according to Freudenberg, developing that pressure would simply not be economical without hydraulic accumulators. The start/stop function means that engines and transmissions have to be ready to start at a very short notice. However, when an engine shuts down, the pump that supplies the oil in the transmission is also shut down. Without a hydraulic accumulator, the switch elements could not be supplied

that the gas charge remains loss-free over the course of the entire service life, the company said. Freudenberg said it has also succeeded in optimizing durability and the tribological properties of the individual sliding partners, so there is no need for conventional sealing and guide systems. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies said it has used modern development methods to bring several series of hydraulic accumulators to production maturity and these products now completely cover the entire existing range of applications in commercial vehicles and passenger cars. Their application may expand beyond transmissions to safety elements and other areas where they may be critical to improving energy efficiency, the company said. dpi
New-generation hydraulic accumulators critical in transmission control applications
with sufficient oil capacity within the required time frame, which is typically no more than 350 ms. In the past, metallic materials and classic sealing and guide systems were mostly used in the production of hydraulic accumulators. The objective of one of Freudenbergs current development projects is to use lighter weight materials. The hydraulic accumulators, made of lightweight materials, allow for a reduction in weight. They also open the door to completely new approaches, such as the storage of brake energy or the storage of larger volumes combined with reduced system weight, the company said. Freudenberg explained that one key challenge when using modern lightweight materials is diffusion resistance. Because these hydraulic accumulators have a gas charge with nitrogen, it is vital to ensure that the materials used are impermeable to nitrogen. This is the only way to ensure

The CANflex display, which hasTedom.indd a 96.5 mm monochrome display and touch screen, will be replaced by the second generation of the CANflex with a bigger 109 mm color display with touch screen. The customizable human-machine interface is based on the established concept of the 177 mm CANcor display. The new hardware is compatible to the hardware of the CANcor system. As an option, the new CANflex displays may be equipped with the same main processor board that is used in the CANcor to achieve optimum hardware performance, said ehb, which is based in Hannover, Germany. Both displays can be configured via ehb Workbench configuration software. For the implementation of specific tasks such as control applications, the ehb Workbench software provides a large library to use its own programs as plug-ins. The displays are therefore suitable for all kinds of applications for manufacturers of mobile and stationary machines, said ehb. The CANflex is encased in a waterproof housing and the capacitive touch screen has impact-resistant and scratchresistant safety glass. Using antireflection and bright background illumination, the CANflex HMI is also suited for outdoor applications, the company said. dpi

MOBILE HYDRAULICS
Nimco has introduced the proportional flow control valve (PFCV) series. This pressure-compensated flow control valve can be used either as a single valve or in multiple units. As a multiple unit the valves are assembled into one block to serve multiple functions.
Maintaining
Control
By Bo Svensson
Swedens Nimco specializes in control valves for mobile equipment applications
ne of the key performance factors for any type of mobile equipment comes down to a simple problem how well is the load controlled? In order for any machine to operate safely and efficiently, it needs to have well-engineered control valves as part of its hydraulic system. Thats an area where the Swedish company Nimco has focused a good deal of attention on in recent years, with the results being a growing control valve business. Nimco designs and produces a wide range of hydraulic components, particularly valves, pumps and motors. The company also provides programmable electronics designed to provide fullsystem integration of all of the hydraulic components, along with its EasyProg software that allows the machine builder to program, revise and maintain all components integrated in the system. Nimco has become a leading manufacturer and supplier of directional control valves, remote control units and system integration software to the mobile machine industry, said Torbjrn Nord, Nimcos president. We have engineering and production facilities in Europe, North America and Asia,
based on production-adapted design, high-performance machining tools and testing of every product supplied. We offer valves that can be tailored to each machines specific function, and through our special spool design software we can tailor every function to perform at the optimized speed and with a positive influence of all other functions. Our OC (open center) valves are designed to take advantage of the full stroke of the valve and to have the same performance of each function even at largely different load weights. Our PCLS (post-compensated load sensing) valves offer superior load control with its unique design, where each spool has two compensators allowing customization of both the pressure and flow. Inlet functions for fixed and variable displacement pumps with electrical offloading valves and HPCO (power beyond) functions are available as standard as well as special high flow inlets. Here an LS (load-sensing) compensated spool eliminates the pressure drop between the pump and the valve. Another feature of the Nimco LS valves is that by having two compensators for each spool, it is possible to equip the valves with LS pressure94
reducing valves for each cylinder port. This allows the internal pump pressure to be exceeded without consuming any pump flow, and still limit maximum flow desired for each function. An interesting new product introduced by Nimco is the PFCV (proportional flow control valve) series. This pressure-compensated flow control valve can be used either as a single valve or in multiple units. As a multiple unit the valves are assembled into one block to serve multiple functions. In its most basic version, the PFCV will regulate the pump flow to a motor or a cylinder at a preset speed and regardless of the load, divert the remaining oil flow back to the tank. By assembling a number of PFCVs together into one block or in series, both the regulated and bypassed flow will be diverted into a second or third valve circuit. This flow can be reused to run subsequent functions, the company said. The valves capability to compensate the pressure at all times allows the set speeds to be maintained. A standard option is a check valve, which can be incorporated into the proportional flow control valves body. Its location between the regulated priority flow line and the bypass line is

intended to protect motors from cavitation due to sudden flow reductions or cutoffs. Another option for the PFCV is an integrated relief valve to set the maximum pressure available to the motor or motors, when PFCV valves are connected in series. The unit will then act as a torque limiter on the regulated circuit functions. With its linear pressure curve the specially designed PPRV (proportional pressure reducing valve) relief valve allows for optimal usage of the motors up to set levels. For activation or deactivation of a regulated flow, the PFCVs can be fitted with a solenoid valve used as a safety device or integrated in the control system. When less sophisticated and advanced machine systems are designed and built, the use of simpler components, still offering high performance at lower cost, could be of great interest, Nord said. A further look at Nimcos program shows directional control valve solutions, where a spool control valve is combined with a pressure compensated flow control valve and the flow to a function is always prioritized and maintained independently of the operated load. These valves can be connected in series for multifunctional operation of, for instance, motors applications and in combination with a simple gear pump. Most of Nimcos open-center valves are designed also in load-sensing versions. An on-demand, load-sensing valve enables the valve to work in a system, where a variable displacement pump is the main source of oil and pressure supply. In principle an on-demand, load-sensing valves will activate the pump, when the spool is shifted from neutral position, but does not offer individual pressure compensators for the spools. We also offer the markets lowest leakage rates for DSCVs (directional spool control valves), Nord said. With special design concepts and manufacturing methods we are able to offer our customers leakage rates as low as 1 cm3/min at 46 cSt for certain products. For larger valves an average leakage of less than 2 cm3/min applies. dpi

Chinas Weichai Power and the U.K.-based engineering consultant Ricardo plc, have announced a preconcept study for a new Weichai engine family for power generation applications from 1.0 to 3 MW. The companies said the new engine line is projected to be internationally competitive and targeted toward both Chinese and export markets. The contract calls for Ricardo to collaborate with Weichai on a preconcept study for the new family of engines with configurations ranging from inline six-cylinder to V16 variants. The new engine is targeted at achieving internationally competitive levels of performance and fuel economy and durability and cost of ownership. Carraro Drive Tech announced it has signed an agreement with AGCO for the supply of transmission systems for a new range of Massey Ferguson tractors made in AGCOs plant in Changzhou, China. The five-year agreement is worth 25 million and covers the supply of various types of front axles with integrated drop box for the Massey Ferguson BX200 series tractors rated 60 to 90 kW. According to Carraro, the tractors are designed for the Chinese market, as well as for export to the U.S., Asia and Africa. The tractors also represent a first phase of AGCOs planned expansion plan in China, which includes the start up of new tractor, baler and components production in the companys Changzhou, Yanzhou, Shanghai and Daqing plants. Konecranes has agreed to buy certain assets of the container handling lift truck business of Linde Material Handling. The two groups
have also signed a long-term supply agreement and said they will collaborate to further increase the global competitiveness of their respective container handling truck activities. The value of the assets purchased is not disclosed. The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of 2013. Both companies will keep reach stackers, empty container handlers and laden container handlers in their offering, but after a period of time all manufacturing will take place in Konecranes facilities. Konecranes Lift Trucks has two production facilities building heavy forklift trucks, empty and laden container handlers and reach stackers; one in Markaryd, Sweden, and one in Shanghai, China. The assets acquired by Konecranes from Linde Material Handling include the respective product rights. In addition, Konecranes will get access to Linde Material Handlings distribution network. The board of directors of Fiat Industrial has approved the merger of Fiat Netherlands Holding N.V. (FNH) with and into Fiat Industrial. The board also approved the merger plan of Fiat Industrial with and into a new, as yet unnamed company, also in the Netherlands the so-called FI merger. Further, the merger of CNH Global N.V. into a new company was also approved, as a sequence of steps of the same transaction. Danfoss A/S, Nordborg, Denmark and Sauer-Danfoss Inc., Ames, Iowa, U.S.A, have jointly announced a definitive merger agreement for Danfoss to acquire the 24.4% of SauerDanfoss common shares not already
owned by Danfoss and its affiliates for US$58.50 per share in cash. The Sauer-Danfoss board approved the transaction based on the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of the board made up solely of independent directors. The transaction does not require antitrust approval and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2013, subject to satisfaction of the tender offer and customary closing conditions. Westport Innovations Inc., a supplier of natural gas engines and engine technology, said it has reached an agreement with the ENN Group, one of Chinas largest private companies and a specialist in natural gas fueling technology. The agreement is aimed at expanding natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) transportation applications, technologies and fuel for on-road, off-road, rail and marine applications. ENN is active across a range of energy services and has been building an LNG fueling business in China, with more than 238 natural gas stations in 59 cities. The agreement with Westport covers the U.S., Canada, China/Asia, Europe, Australia and Africa, and ENN said it expects to begin building liquefaction plants and fuel stations in North America. Caterpillar Inc. said it will cut 1400 jobs at its Gosselies facility in Belgium. The equipment and engine manufacturer blamed high costs and the weak European economy. Gosselies manufactures hydraulic excavators, loaders and engines and is one of Caterpillars largest facilities in Europe, employing 3700 people. dpi
