OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 6015 / RH40E Operation Undercarriage
Pump Managing System (PMS)
The undercarriage of the hydraulic excavator serves as a stable base and for travelling. The crawler tracks are driven hydraulically with oil motors and travel gearboxes. Undercarriage and superstructure are connected by means of a slewing ring.
The Pump Managing System (PMS) with overlimit regulation ensures optimum utilization of the installed or preset engine power.
Superstructure
The electronic pump demand control prevents the machine from demanding more hydraulic power than the diesel engine can furnish. A microprocessor ensures that the hydraulic output power of the pump is optimally suited to the actual operation conditions.
The superstructure accommodates the drive and part of the hydraulic and electrical equipment.
Drive The drive unit comprises diesel engine, pump transfer gearbox, hydraulic pumps, hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic motors.
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) The PLC controls the functions: Engine Start,
Engine Stop,
Hydraulic system
Engine Idle,
All working and travelling movements are performed hydraulically. The movements are controlled by servovalves. The working commands are initiated by hand and transmitted to the valves via control circuits. The oil supply from the superstructure to the undercarriage is ensured by the rotor. The hydraulic system is overload-protected by pressure-relief valves. The hydraulic pumps are supplied with oil from a hydraulic reservoir.
