Powering via the hardest supplies, the Cat 6020 hydraulic mining shovel meets the mining business’s want for sturdy, dependable and extremely environment friendly digging efficiency.
To align with the remainder of the Cat hydraulic mining shovel lineup, mannequin nomenclature has been up to date from the Cat 6020B to the 6020. Right this moment’s 6020 shovel provides the identical options, quick cycle occasions and excessive reliability as its predecessor. Providing highly effective efficiency, the subsequent era of engine powering the machine delivers improved reliability.
Plus, the 6020’s hydraulic optimisation dynamically assigns particular person pumps or teams of pumps to ship the precise move stress that every hydraulic operate requires. This reduces waste and warmth, prolongs element lives, and improves gas consumption.
The brand new Cat C32B replaces the earlier Cat 32 engine to supply extra dependable and sturdy operation. With designs licensed to satisfy a variety of emissions requirements worldwide, the brand new C32B engine is a direct alternative for the C32.
No extra {hardware} is required for engine alternative to improve present machines within the subject. The C32B provides the identical 776 kW (1040 hp) rated energy as its predecessor.
Increased move oil and baffles within the oil cooler preserve the engine core cooled and lubricated, whereas the engine’s new cylinder head with optimised water jacket maximises warmth switch. The C32B’s skill to ship increased energy in sure purposes comes from elevated piston compression top.
An up to date crankshaft and connecting rods with bigger journals improve sturdiness by lowering contact stress and optimising bearing efficiency, whereas a brand new cylinder block helps improve structural functionality. All valves are geared up with oil metering stem seals and lowered contact stress geometry for optimum life.
Rising reliability, a thicker shim gasket reduces the danger of head-to-block oil leaks. Extra sturdy exhaust valves, particularly when working at excessive energy, cut back the prospect of exhaust valve failures. Twin sensor coolant safety detects potential coolant leaks ahead of the earlier capabilities to keep away from pricey downtime.
Hydraulic optimisation for the 6020 shovel dynamically assigns particular person pumps or teams of pumps to ship the precise move and stress required by every hydraulic operate. Lowering waste and extra warmth buildup, hydraulic optimisation supplies environment friendly use of the engine for higher productiveness, much less vitality and gas consumption, and lowered element put on. With its 22-tonne (24-ton) payload, the 6020 effectively masses the Cat 775 truck in three passes, 777 in 4 passes, 785 in six passes and 789 in eight passes.
Designed for operator consolation, the subsequent era cab on the 6020 provides class-leading visibility for working productively, safely and effectively. Digital-hydraulic servo joystick management delivers quick and exact machine actions with much less operator fatigue, whereas five-circuit hydraulics permit for simultaneous management of two-cylinder motions, two journey motions and swing.
The big 254-mm (10-in) high-definition color touchscreen places all very important machine and diagnostic knowledge on the operators’ fingertips. A safer coaching atmosphere is facilitated by unobstructed views of the digging atmosphere and emergency cease button simply accessible from each coaching seats.
A variety of onboard and non-compulsory expertise choices boosts productiveness, effectivity and well being of the 6020 shovel. The machine’s board management system employs a number of sensors to watch working knowledge, document faults, and notify the operator audibly and visually for early detection of faults.
Manufacturing facility-ready for Cat MineStar Options, MineStar Well being is totally built-in as an choice to ship essential event-based and working knowledge. Additionally accessible are MineStar Fleet for real-time machine monitoring, project and productiveness administration; Terrain that permits steerage expertise and high-precision administration of shovel operators; and detect to extend operator consciousness and improve security.
