Efficient use
The configuration of the box and the new interface programming allow both the radio control of the hookloader and a secondary external control for maximum flexibility for the user.
Epsilon now offers a dedicated fixed control for the hookloader in the top seat which provides versatility and convenience for operators. They no longer need to carry the radio control with them on the seat and can use the dedicated remote control to save space on the top seat while still accessing useful hookloader functions.
The PAD controller interface is particularly welcome in a crane – hookloader combination. Operators are always looking for more comfort and ease in the daily movements of their crane to be as efficient as possible. Thanks to the interface, they can move the container to the exact position that will require the easiest movement, the shorter cinematic to fill or empty the container with the grapples. The 2 main movements needed has been identified as:
-moving the container backwards / forwards on the truck to help to adjust the distance between the grapples and its content
- tipping the container up and down for example to gather its content.
Both movements are now available in automatic sequence to avoid any other manipulation of switches.
What will your application be?
There are other situations where it may be useful to move the container to facilitate the job of the workers, without wasting time to go back in the cab to move the arm. For example:
- asphalt application: Tipping operation can be done remotely for a more convenient and safer control, for people standing at the back of the equipment.
- robotic lifting equipment for refuse container: The sliding arm is actuated by the external control system according to the sequence required by the robotic lifting arm
What will your application look like?
