XW3 Series Slew Limitation

Product catalog summary

XW3 Series Overview
The XW3 is a movement restriction system designed for articulated hydraulic plant machinery, such as excavators and special purpose machines. It features slew limitation controlled by proportional soft-stop hydraulic valves, ensuring precise and repeatable performance without affecting the machine's operation.

Key Features

Fail-Safe Operation: The system is fully automatic and requires no more than two key presses for function selection.
Slew Limitation: Supports angular slew limits with a ramp-down speed approach and soft stop at limits. Full power is available when moving away from a limit.
Easy Setup: Limits can be manually keyed in or set automatically. Setup is quick, simple, and can be protected with an optional access key switch. Settings are retained and active on start-up.
Measurement: Measures to the front-end equipment center line, considering tool width when setting limits.

System Components and Options

Base System: Major components have a five-year guarantee, excluding misuse and physical damage.
Optional Features: Include an access key switch, beacon for RCI indication, reeling drum for telescopic arm monitoring, platform sensor for chassis pitch and roll angles, data logger, and 12VDC valve coils for smaller machines.
IO Controller: Solid state, fully potted IP67 with multiple inputs and outputs, full electrical protection, diagnostics, and CAN bus support.
Display: IP65 rated, 4.3" LED backlit color display with tactile keys, CAN bus, and Ethernet support.
Angle Sensors: Compact solid state 3-axis accelerometer with gyro compensation, stainless steel, IP67 rated, and CAN J1939 compatible.

Operation is fail safe and fully automatic with function selection never more than two key presses away. Dependent on installed options, XW3 supports angular slew limits. Slew speed will ramp down on approach to a limit and soft stop at the limit. Full power is always available if moving away for a slew limit. A slew limit can be either manually keyed in or set automatically by positioning the machine equipment and pressing HERE. Set up is simple, quick and can be protected with an optional access key switch. All settings are retained and will be active on start-up. XW3 measures to the front-end...
