 Mobile
Automation systems are fast becoming one of
our main specialty focuses. For a number of
years mobile hydraulic systems consisted of
gear pumps, and sectional 4 way valves.
Today electronics are taking the industry by
storm, many times drive by the need for a
more efficient system. It was not uncommon
years ago to have volumetric inefficiencies
in the 50-60 % range with huge amounts of
horsepower wasted to heat and slow speeds.
Today we have highly efficient systems (in
the mid 90 percentile) as a result of load
sense piston pumps and on board load sense
valve stacks. These stacks incorporate load
independent features that allow the movement
of multiple cylinders at the same time with
different pressures, with no affect on the
other cylinder. The cylinder speed and force
requirement is then sent back to the pump to
command the pump to produce only what is
required to do what the operator wants. This
results in a huge savings in fuel, reduced
heat, less wear on the engine and fewer
leaks. If the system requires 3000 psi, it
will idle at 250 psi while waiting to be
called on.
 We
then can take this advancement and marry it
to electronics to allow easy interaction
with the operator through joysticks, touch
screens, radio controlled consoles and even
remote fobs. The engine function and
hydraulics can be controlled and monitored
through one controller allowing features
such as horsepower limiting,
troubleshooting, and diagnostics for both
the engine and the hydraulics. One can take
it one step further and have their machines
monitored and/or controlled via internet and
GPS.
Things have really changed in this arena and
with our partnerships with Linde, Oilgear,
Bucher, Hawe and Orvitek, we can accomplish
all of these with ease. With us you are only
limited by your imagination.
