Mobile Hydraulic Transmission
Ready-to-use solutions:
With the CT-SUITE tool, Poclain Hydraulics is making electronically controlled hydrostatic transmissions more accessible by allowing customers to create their own software management. Based on a library of fully tested software functions, each customer can combine all the necessary functions to generate their software in just a few clicks, reducing development time and costs without any further help.
- Travel/Work modes for machines that have to travel fast from one working area to another:
- Use the same hydraulic installation to be able to travel fast between sites while maintaining a high torque transmission at on-site
- Best efficiency in both modes (work and travel)
- Energy saving
- Noise reduction
- Driver comfort
- Work precision
- Anti-Stall to prevent engine stalling when torque requested to engine can exceed the engine capacity:
- Driver stays focused on the work at hand, not on engine management
- No need for oversized engine
- Increased driving comfort
- Automotive Control to drive the machine like a car:
- Automatically adapts the machine’s speed to engine rotation speed.
- Compatible with engines with cable control.
- Increased fuel savings compared to constant engine speed
- Easy to drive and simple to integrate
- Smart Automotive for efficient control of the pump and the engine together:
- Independent engine and pump curves
- Reduces noise emissions
- Increased fuel savings compared to constant engine speed
- EcoDrive™ compatible
- Multi-mode compatible
- Cruise Control / speed control loop control with Smart Automotive, when precise machine speed is needed for working process:
- Driver only focuses on work at hand, not on machine speed
- Better job quality
- Electronic Inching when precise machine approach is needed, or when engine power is needed with very low or null machine speed:
- Precise machine approach
- Engine power needed for tools at very low or null machine speed – better tool management
- Increased driving comfort
- Automatic speed shifting, smooth speed change management when machine needs to switch automatically “on the fly” between high torque (first speed) and high speed (second speed, third speed etc.):
- Easy to drive
- Preserves motors – increased lifetime
- Comfort
- Hydrostatic braking with electronic pedal to adjust hydrostatic braking (mandatory with automotive control):
- Easy to drive (car like)
- Comfort
- Safety
- Combined braking with hydraulic brake pedal (VB) when hydrostatic braking is needed to reach a level of deceleration:
- Better braking performances
- Reduces friction brake wear – increased lifetime
- Hill Start to stop and restart the machine on a slope:
- Easy to drive
- Safety
- Preserves ground
- EcoDriveTM for more environmental (eco) driving with fuel saving and lower engine noise.
- Command Limiter for machines working at low speeds with high engine speed (e.g. approach mode):
- Better machine manoeuvrability
- Driver Presence increases the safety at the worksite, preventing machine from moving without a driver.
- Accelerator Joystick function that is mostly used in tractors’ control agronomy:
- Smooth joystick control of requested speed
- Control of acceleration and deceleration levels
- System protection functions (over-power protection, over-pressure protection, over-temperature protection, over-speed protection) to preserve hydraulic components and increase the lifetime of the machine.
- Safety start management for safer work. It ensures that all required safety conditions are met before allowing the machine to move.
Customizable and easy to use
SmartDrive™ is designed for easy programming, parameterization, personalization and diagnosis. It can be applied to many different applications through a programming tool CT-SUITE.
Beside standard functions, we also offer customized customer-specific application software based on the SmartDrive™ modular system that is in-series production-ready as pre-installed software for SmartDrive CT electronic control units. Some application specific systems are available with pre-defined software, e.g. Skid-Steer System.
As hardware we use SmartDrive CT electronic control units.
