XW4 Series Height & Slew Limitation

Product catalog summary

Overview: The XW4 Series by XWATCH Safety Solutions is a movement restriction system designed for construction plant machinery, including excavators, backhoe loaders, and special purpose machines. It provides height and slew limitation using proportional soft-stop hydraulic valves for precise and repeatable performance.

Height Limitation: The system is fail-safe and fully automatic, requiring minimal user interaction. It monitors all potential high points of the machine and controls motions with ramped slow down and soft stop to prevent machine bounce, overshoot, or undershoot. An optional chassis sensor can adjust for terrain slope.

Slew Limitation: Offers single/dual parallel wall or angular limitation. The system monitors and controls front-end equipment to prevent limit breaches. Limits can be manually set or positioned by the machine, with automatic display adjustments for approaching hazards. Setup is quick and settings are retained on startup.

Base System and Options: Major components have a five-year guarantee, excluding misuse and damage. Options include an access key switch, beacon, reeling drum, offset boom sensor, platform sensor, data logger, and 12VDC valve coils for smaller machines.

Technical Specifications: The IO Controller is solid state, fully potted, and IP67 rated, with multiple inputs and outputs, CAN bus, and manual key override. The display is IP65 rated with a 4.3" LED backlit screen. Angle sensors are compact, solid state, and IP67 rated, with gyro compensation. Hydraulics are custom made with PWM proportional sandwich valves available in various configurations.

Additional Information: The XW Series includes models XW1 to XW5, each offering different features such as height control, slew control, and rated capacity indicators. For more details, visit xwatch.co.uk.

Operation is fail safe and fully automatic with function selection never more than two key presses away. All potential machine high points are monitored and appropriate motions controlled. Full power is always available to move away from a limit. Motions are controlled with ramped slow down on approach and soft stop. There is no machine ‘bounce’, overshoot or undershoot. An optional chassis sensor can be installed to correct for terrain slope. Single/dual parallel wall or angular limitation are available. When walls are in use, the front-end equipment is also monitored and controlled for limit...
