User manual KAWAI X140-D

[. . . ] an adjustable wrist rest mounted on each screed control panel provides operator comfort and reduces fatigue. The electric screed heat control panel utilizes touchpad technology for simplified operation and backlit LEDs provide easy recognition in order to create a user-friendly operating environment. The panel includes on/off heat control switch, three pre-set temperature settings for each screed section, fault indicators and manual overrides for each screed plate section. page 5 Serviceability The X140-D screed has been designed for easy service and maintenance. [. . . ] Extender Controls Power Berm Screed Plates The industry-leading electric heating system delivers tight textures for high-quality mats and a long service life. Screed Plates The screed plates are constructed of an abrasion resistant alloy steel and utilize a curved nose design that provides pre-compaction and good material flow. Hydraulically-Driven Vibrators Hydraulically-driven vibrators mounted on the main screed and extenders increase mix density under the screed. Electric Heating Elements The heating elements are located in each screed plate section to provide even heat distribution. The heating elements are reusable and can be easily removed and installed on new screed plates. Uniform Heating The heating elements provide uniform heat distribution over the entire screed plate for reliable operation. 4 Main Screed Plate 457 mm (18") Extender Screed Plate 229 mm (9") Thermal Image Shows Uniform Heat Distribution End Gates Easy-grip handles and dual-bolt guides provide smooth height adjustments to ensure good joint-matching capabilities. Spring-Loaded End Gates The spring-loaded end gates create a downward force that causes the gates to follow the profile of the surface being paved, ensuring a good joint with the adjacent mat. False-Wall Design The false-wall design reduces mix contact with the sliding portion of the gate, providing easy gate adjustments. Bolt-on Design The bolt-on design allows easy end gate installation and removal when transportation concerns exist. Foldable Handles Foldable handles located on the end gate height adjustments allow them to be fully retracted for working close to barriers. Extender width changes can be made from the tractor, main screed or remote-mounted control panels. The remote-mounted control panels are positioned at the end of each extender. Extenders are equipped with vibrators and heaters that are separate from the main screed. vibrator motors and shafts are hydraulically driven. Frequency and amplitude are synchronized with main screed vibrators. Screed Controls The controls are logically grouped providing easy operation. Main control consoles are mounted on each side of the screed and include a wrist rest. they contain all electrically actuated controls. The electric screed control console is mounted on the left side of the screed near the center walkway. The electric heat screed control panel includes a touch pad with high intensity LEDs for simplified use. Remote-mounted control panels are mounted on the outboard side of each extender. [. . . ] Hydraulic System The extenders are hydraulically controlled with electric-over-hydraulic components. Hydraulic connections have O-ring face seal (ORFS) fittings and straight-thread O-ring (STOR) couplings to provide maximum protection against hydraulic system leaks. Integrity of the electrical system on Cat® machines is ensured with the use of high-quality components. The Caterpillar electrical standards, developed to enhance reliability and durability, feature soldered, molded, numbered and color-coded wires with nylon-braided wrap to protect the electrical harness.
