XW1 Series Height Limitation

Product catalog summary

XW1 Series Overview
The XW1 is designed for use with articulated hydraulic machinery, such as excavators, truck-mounted cranes, flails, and mowers. It features a height limitation system controlled by proportional soft-stop hydraulic valves, ensuring precise and repeatable performance without affecting the machine's operation. The system is fail-safe and fully automatic, requiring no more than two key presses for function selection.

Height Limitation Features

Individual motion control with ramped slow down and soft stop to prevent machine bounce, overshoot, or undershoot.
Optional chassis sensor for terrain slope correction.
Height limits can be manually keyed in or set automatically by positioning the equipment and pressing a button.
Quick and simple setup, with optional access key switch for protection.
Settings are retained and active upon startup.
Tools must be in their least favorable position when setting a limit.

Base System and Options

Major components have a five-year guarantee, excluding misuse and physical damage.
Optional features include an access key switch, beacon for height limit indication, reeling drum for telescopic arm monitoring, platform sensor for chassis pitch and roll angles, and a data logger with CAN bus event recorder.
12VDC valve coils are available at no cost for smaller machines.
