Komatsu to demonstrate fully electric wheel loader prototype
Komatsu announced that a prototype for its first fully electric compact wheel loader will be showcased on its demo area (FM.713/1) at the bauma 2022 international fair in Munich, Germany (October 24 – 30).
Recently designed and built together with Moog Inc., the worldwide designer, manufacturer, and integrator of precision control components and systems, this new connected and automation-ready construction machine is battery-powered and zero-emissions and is now ready for joint testing.
Moog’s Intelligent electric system includes an electric traction motor, lift, tilt and steering electric cylinders, power electronics, system control computer, battery, and battery management system. The integrated control system connects and coordinates the actions across the machine, while the all-electric actuators and motors provide the force to the machine’s traction and loading system. The integrated nature of the system enables industry-leading system efficiency and controllability.
The prototype’s intelligent machine electrification system is designed to be connected and automation-ready. The system has the sensing and control capabilities needed for automation while the integrated software framework comes with built-in tools to coordinate multiple axes of motion and precisely control torque, velocity, position, and force.
