Safety System

The new KomVision system helps to reduce the accidents in the pit and it increases operator awareness Added to this, we engineered a new access system, to meet the highest standards in comfort and safety. The access system has been newly designed to grant the best safety conditions for the operator. The access and egress system is designed to meet the highest standards in comfort and safety. The 45° stairway system allows the operator and the maintenance staff comfortable and safe access to the machinery house level and cab level.

Intelligent Data System

With KomtraxPlus Upgrade we provide intelligent data solutions. KomtraxPlus Upgrade lets you monitor your operation and all essential details about your Komatsu machine, directly in the cabin. The information collected by Komtrax is transmitted and request, and accessible through intelligent digital solutions. KomtraxPlus Upgrade delivers cost saving information, facilitates peak machine performance, allows proactive and preventive maintenance.

Performance Monitoring

The Payload Meter is a measuring tool to identify the bucket payload. Due to the immediately shown bucket payload the operator is able to load the truck more efficient. Reduced truck loading time due to decreased required passes per truck. The payload meter system will be integrated into the KomtraxPlus Upgrade monitoring system. Reporting via KomtraxPlus Upgrade will show the payload history as well as improved data. The PLM is a helpful tool for data analysis and helps the mine manager to plan their fleets.

Customization

We offer standardized front shovel and backhoe solutions referring to a standard density of 1.8 t/m³ for our machines. In specific cases, your operation requires a solution with another bucket. Therefore we can offer you alternative bucket sizes and wear packages. Further customization possibilities are heating systems, travel gear protections, special track pad variations, color paintings and further options which you can find under optional equipment.

Maintenance

Wide walkways to the regular service points, proper platforms equipped with handrail and kickboards as well as easy access to all service points provide a high safety standard for maintenance. When we simplified the maintenance, one of the primary focuses was the accessibility and safety during servicing and the accessibility for maintenance activities. The working space in the machinery house has been extended, the first stage fuel filter has been removed into the fuel tank structure and can be reached from the machinery house easily.

Simplified System

The Simplified System is a result of engineering power. Saving of electrical parts as well as no need for additional node boxes and the release of new controller generation. Added to this, we worked on a well-structured, clean and lean electrical switch cabinet. The relays and connectors are placed in a separated sealed switch cabinet. We enhanced the extended machine settings to adjust via the Komtrax Plus monitor in the cabin. We developed new sensors for measuring data. Thus, we can show every error on the machine for real-time maintenance. Through our new developments, customers have a simplified troubleshooting, higher availability and lower cost per ton.
