On April 28th, Caterpillar's Global Infrastructure Division and Sentami Maxim Machinery Engineering Co., Ltd. jointly released the new wheel excavator Cat M320D2 in Urumqi, Xinjiang. Many Cat owners are no strangers to the Cat wheeled excavator. Before the release of the Cat M320D2, the Cat M317D2 and Cat M315D2 wheeled excavators have already caused strong repercussions in the construction machinery industry and made a lot of contributions to many Cat users. The release of Cat M320D2 has undoubtedly set off a storm in the Chinese wheeled excavator market. Let us take the footsteps of Cat experts and learn more about the Big Brother in the three wheel excavation of this Cat.

Energy efficient, environmental protection, me

“Caterpillar is the world's leading manufacturer of machinery and equipment, and attaches great importance to the design of environmentally friendly products.”

In recent years, energy conservation and environmental protection has become a problem that many manufacturers in the construction machinery industry pay attention to, especially the continuous decline of domestic air quality, which has aroused the public's special attention to environmental protection. As the leader in energy saving and emission reduction in the construction machinery industry, Caterpillar's Cat M320D2 is also exceptionally environmentally friendly.

Caterpillar Global Infrastructure Industry Product Market Consultant Qi Junfeng told China Road Machinery Network that the Cat M320D2 is Caterpillar's third wheeled excavator in China, tailored for the Chinese market and emerging markets, in terms of environmental protection, Cat The M320D2 adopts an EFI engine that meets the national three-level standard. It has high fuel efficiency, and this engine has been used in the European and American markets for many years. It can be said that it is a long-term test and is a relatively mature product.

At the same time, the global R&D center for Cat wheel excavation is in Germany, and the experience of developing wheel excavation for nearly 30 years is concentrated on the Cat M320D2. This wheeled excavator uses a very advanced load-sensing hydraulic system, which makes the equipment more sensitive and efficient in fuel efficiency. Wang Shijie, product performance engineer of Caterpillar Global Tooling and Service Department, said: "There are more tools available for wheel digging, and the hydraulic system of the machine can be very well matched when using various Cat tooling, and the work efficiency is high. Reducing fuel consumption also contributes well to the environment."

In addition, Caterpillar has shown environmental friendliness in many details. For example, Cat equipment comes standard with Cat-related products. Different Cat smart products can effectively improve construction efficiency according to different needs of customers. Therefore, it is possible to finish the work in a short period of time and increase the protection of the environment. In addition, Caterpillar's remanufacturing technology can revitalize many of Cat's key components, which gives the device the ability to extend its life cycle, demonstrating that Cat products are practicing Caterpillar throughout the R&D and manufacturing process. The values ​​of sustainable development.

Multi-purpose machine, flexible, and me

“The wheel excavation is a Swiss army knife for construction at the construction site. It can be used in one machine and is very flexible.”

If so, what do customers in the wheeled excavator market need most? Perhaps there are 90 customers in a hundred to tell you, for more convenient transfer and high flexibility and versatility at the construction site.

This new Caterpillar Cat M320D2 wheeled excavator effectively combines flexibility and versatility. In this regard, Wang Shijie said: "The municipal engineering we usually encounter, I hope that an excavator must solve all the problems. For example, a road surface renovation project requires not only equipment excavation but also crushing operations, and The crushed material is pulled away. The new material needs equipment for landfill. From the beginning to the end of the project, the excavator needs to meet the needs of various working conditions.” Wang Shijie believes that if a piece of equipment cannot be flexible and versatile, it will let customers There is a loss in efficiency. “We are now targeting Cat M320D2, or Cat M317D2, Cat M315D2 are equipped with a variety of Cat tooling, such as buckets, breakers, grabs, thumb clips, flatbeds, etc. We are striving for users from the beginning of the project. By the end, we have a complete tooling solution and we believe that our products can meet the real work needs of our customers."

Caterpillar Global Infrastructure Industry System Application Consultant Jie Jun uses a vivid example to illustrate the advantages of Cat equipment in tooling. "For pavement pipe laying, our wheel digging can be broken first with a breaker. Use the quick change to the bucket to move the material, and then use the wheel to dig the pipe to the pipeline landfill equipment to excavate the depth. When filling the earthwork, you can also use the equipment's dozer blade or bucket to bury the soil. Finally, Compaction with the weight of the wheel digging, which is basically a comprehensive operation of various complicated conditions with one wheel excavation."

In addition, Caterpillar provides an effective solution for tooling switching. In complex working conditions and limited working hours, the ability to quickly and efficiently replace tooling tools has become a question for every user, and on the Cat M320D2, this has been perfectly solved. The device's quick-fit connector allows the user to reduce the time from the bucket to the breaker to less than 30 seconds, greatly improving work efficiency. Wang Shijie told reporters: "One customer in Inner Mongolia used our quick-change connector. Later, this customer said that after they are skilled, it takes only about 15 seconds to change a bucket. The customer experience proves that we are now working on wheel excavation. The tooling configured by the machine solves the actual needs of the customer well, and brings higher profits to the customer and brings more competitiveness."

The strongest performance, the quality has me

“Caterpillar has always been customer-centric, providing customers with the best products and inheriting this from wheeled products.”

When it comes to customers mentioning Cat products, the first impression that comes to their minds may be the characteristics of high stability and high durability. It is well known that Cat equipment has a second life, and some core components can be re-used. Manufacture and reapply. The same is true for the Cat M320D2, from market positioning, equipment configuration to operational efficiency. From the beginning of the design, the Cat M320D2 is expected to meet or exceed customer expectations. It is understood that all Cat wheel excavations, including Cat M320D2, Cat M315D2 and Cat M317D2, are equipped with hydraulic hammer lines and electric refueling pumps. In this regard, Qi Junfeng explained: "From the customer's point of view, especially in some inconvenient working environments, it is impossible to dig the wheel to the gas station every time to refuel, at this time the user can put the four-wheeler or oil The tanker is driven to the construction site for convenient fuel filling. At the time of delivery, these devices are also equipped with a safety rear view camera, including the Cat intelligence system, including the comfort of the cab, its vision and flexible operation. With these configurations, we are confident that the Cat M320D2 is a new wheeled excavator from Caterpillar for Chinese customers."

Mentioned the Cat Intelligence system, I believe that many users who have already used Cat equipment are no strangers, and in the Caterpillar global infrastructure industry construction technology and solutions technology application consultant Chen Wei, the intelligence system for the management of equipment, only It is the basic function of Cat Intelligence. Cat Intelligence, which includes multiple smart products and applications, has a higher-end meaning. “Cat Intelligence is actually a very good example of the combination of Internet and engineering machinery. What Cat Smart does is provide a platform for machines to communicate with engineering bosses, project managers, agents and engineering manufacturers. On this platform, any failure or booting, shutdown, or even its working condition of the device can inform its managers and owners in real time. At the same time, managers and owners can also use this platform to effectively think about it. What you do tells the machine, this is the concept of human-computer interaction. Similarly, the device can self-perceive, it knows the weight of its load, knows whether there are people coming and going in the environment around it, and whether there are security risks. And the equipment as a production tool, When it can communicate seamlessly with people, it can be done in the shortest time, the best way, the most fuel-saving, and the least energy consumption. This is the ultimate goal of Cat Intelligence. Chen Yuru said.

Efficient construction, I have details.

"The oil, labor, material resources and efficiency of this province are not only one hour, but what is the percentage of the province. It is a safety consideration."

For the giant of engineering machinery, rough may become the first impression many people have for it, but for the users who really use it, the more important thing is the heart of the big guy, and on the Cat M320D2, we It is very clear that this device, such as the tiger, sniffs the rose, has many subtle and original craftsmanship. As we all know, wheel excavation is mainly engaged in municipal construction. In most constructions, the location of the equipment is not fixed. Sometimes it is often leaning against the road teeth while the other side is flat. In this regard, Caterpillar engineers have specially designed two hydraulic legs that can be placed on the road teeth according to the special docking environment. This intimate design is just one of the many details of Cat equipment, but we can see it.

Caterpillar Global Infrastructure Industry System Application Consultant Jie Jun explained to the China Road Machinery Network reporter: "After long-term inspection and user feedback, we noticed that excavators are often uneven during pavement construction. The position is used for construction, so we designed the oscillating cylinder for the equipment, keeping the underlying chassis adjusted in time to keep the upper frame stable. On the other hand, because most of the engineering needs to change the tooling, we also prefabricated the equipment in the display. The flow pressure of ten kinds of tooling can be adjusted at any time. According to the external, such as hammer, hoe, bucket, or one-way, two-way, medium pressure, high pressure, it is convenient for users to adjust and use at any time. At the same time, the slope control system can also It is convenient for users to adjust and understand the depth of excavation of the equipment. These details are reflected in the design of the equipment. For us, we hope to improve the details and help users to enhance the value of the equipment."

Caterpillar Global Infrastructure Industry Product Application Consultant Wang Ping also said that the core competitiveness of Caterpillar's tooling core is that we can provide users with rich solutions under very energy-saving and optimized conditions. For example, he said: "In today's construction machinery market, manufacturers of broken hammers abound, but whether the hammer can be well matched after loading the equipment on the equipment is also a problem that many users reflect. Once the match is not good. The hydraulic system of the whole machine will have a huge impact, while Cat designs its own breaker, not only the pressure relief valve, but also the flow control pressure relief valve. When there is no pressure relief valve, the engine keeps on. In the desperate supply of oil, and we only need a part of it, then this is not only a waste of flow, but also the early deterioration of the hydraulic flow of our hydraulic system. On the other hand, all the pipeline installation of Cat does not need any The welding is done by screwing. This matching will also effectively improve the working stability of the equipment, while reducing fuel consumption and reducing emissions."

There is a lot to be.

“For Caterpillar, it is the provider of the entire solution. Whether it is technology, tooling, financing, and all aspects of accessory services, it is our true core competitiveness.”

“For Caterpillar, we are not just offering products, we are providing customers with a solution.” When talking about the core competitiveness of Cat M320D2, Qi Junfeng said: “If you compare products separately, Cat M320D2 has A lot of special features, but the core competitiveness of Cat M320D2 is that we have many solutions available to customers, Cat Intelligence System, Cat Smart Solution, Cat Tooling, Cat Financing System. We also have a rental platform to represent with us. Together, we provide customized rental solutions for our customers. In addition, we have solutions for remanufacturing and second mobile phones. All of these are complete solutions. For customers, you buy not only products, but the entire Carter. The strong support from the network of Biller and its agents is its greatest core competence."

Wang Ping also said, “From the perspective of core competitiveness, the Cat brand represents the high quality of the products first. Secondly, the customers can get Caterpillar's full range of support and services. Caterpillar is the best product for the market. However, it is limited to the product-to-product comparison. We don't think it is enough. Together with the agent, we provide customers with a holistic solution in terms of technology, tooling, accessories, financing, etc. This is our true core competitiveness of Caterpillar. ”

Clips and Fasteners are most commonly categorized as flat or sheet material that is formed into simple or complicated shapes. Most often, Clips and Fasteners are manufactured using both low and high carbon steels, depending on the application. In some applications, high carbon spring steels are utilized where a spring force is required that cannot be obtained with normal spring forces. When high carbon spring steels are used for manufacturing, it is a standard requirement that the product is heat treated and quenched to a hardness level that allows the product to flex without deforming. Heat treating and oil quenching are commonly used for the hardening process, but an Austemper heat treating process is typically the best practice for eliminating heat treat deformation.

Steels most commonly used in our process for manufacturing Clips and Fasteners are either low carbon, cold rolled steel (without heat treatment), and high carbon spring steels ranging from Grade 1050 to 1095, along with Stainless Steels and precious metals such as Brass, Phosphor Bronze, and Beryllium Copper. Clips and Fasteners that we manufacture typically range in material thickness of .010″ up to .080″, with many of our prototype and short run orders ranging from these sizes. We also have the capability of manufacturing designs in a wide range of shapes and sizes. We can supply Clips and Fasteners with a variety of special finishes or coatings to your specification along with various heat treating requirements.
