User manual KAWAI X150-D

[. . . ] Screed Controls The main screed control panels are mounted on each side of the screed. The layout of each control panel promotes productivity and allows the screed operators to quickly make the necessary adjustments to the mat. Power controls for crown, height and slope are standard features that increase operator efficiency. The electric screed heat control panel utilizes touch-pad technology for simplified operation and backlit LED's provide easy recognition for a user-friendly operating environment. [. . . ] Heavy-Duty Supports Integrated Sonic Harness Extender-Mounted Controls 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 curved nose-bars to provide precompaction 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 The screed plates are 457 mm (18") wide (front to back). 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 cause 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. Hydraulic connections have O-ring face seal (ORFS) fittings and straight-thread O-ring (STOR) couplings to provide maximum protection against hydraulic system leaks. high-pressure Cat XT hoses provide an extended service life. Vibrator System The main screed and extenders are equipped with a vibrator system that provides initial compaction. Vibrator speed is adjustable with a rheostat control located on the right control panel from 0 to 50 Hz (0-3, 000 vpm). Extender Configuration Extender width changes can be made from the tractor, main screed or remote-mounted control boxes. The remote-mounted control boxes 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. [. . . ] Thickness Screws Thickness control screws with spinner handles are located on the outboard side of each control console. The thickness screws control the paving depth. Two thread configurations are available for the thickness control screws; Acme clockwise and Acme counterclockwise with 25. End gates are spring-loaded, creating an adjustable downward force that allows them to follow the profile of the surface being paved. [. . . ]
