Powering via the hardest supplies, the Cat® 6020 Hydraulic Mining Shovel meets the mining trade’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 now’s 6020 shovel gives the identical options, quick cycle instances and excessive reliability as its predecessor. Providing highly effective efficiency, the subsequent technology of engine powering the machine delivers improved reliability. Plus, the 6020’s hydraulic optimization dynamically assigns particular person pumps or teams of pumps to ship the precise circulate strain that every hydraulic operate requires. This reduces waste and warmth, prolongs part lives, and improves gas consumption.
New engine
The brand new Cat C32B replaces the earlier Cat 32 engine to supply extra dependable and sturdy operation. With designs licensed to satisfy a spread of emissions requirements worldwide, the brand new C32B engine is a direct substitute for the C32. No extra {hardware} is required for engine substitute to improve present machines within the discipline. The C32B gives the identical 776 kW (1040 hp) rated energy as its predecessor.
Greater circulate oil and baffles within the oil cooler maintain the engine core cooled and lubricated, whereas the engine’s new cylinder head with optimized water jacket maximizes warmth switch. The C32B’s means to ship increased energy in sure functions comes from elevated piston compression top.
An up to date crankshaft and connecting rods with bigger journals improve sturdiness by lowering contact strain and optimizing bearing efficiency, whereas a brand new cylinder block helps improve structural functionality. All valves are outfitted with oil metering stem seals and lowered contact strain geometry for optimum life.
Growing 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 possibility of exhaust valve failures. Twin sensor coolant safety detects potential coolant leaks prior to the earlier capabilities to keep away from expensive downtime.
Similar excessive effectivity efficiency
Hydraulic optimization for the 6020 shovel dynamically assigns particular person pumps or teams of pumps to ship the precise circulate and strain required by every hydraulic operate. Decreasing waste and extra warmth buildup, hydraulic optimization supplies environment friendly use of the engine for better productiveness, much less vitality and gas consumption, and lowered part put on. With its 22-tonne (24-ton) payload, the 6020 effectively hundreds 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 technology cab on the 6020 gives 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 enable for simultaneous management of two cylinder motions, two journey motions and swing. The massive 254-mm (10-in) high-definition shade touchscreen places all important machine and diagnostic information on the operators’ fingertips. A safer coaching surroundings is facilitated by unobstructed views of the digging surroundings and emergency cease button simply accessible from each coaching seats.
A variety of onboard and optionally available know-how 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 information, file faults, and notify the operator audibly and visually for early detection of faults. Manufacturing unit-ready for Cat MineStar™ Options, MineStar Well being is absolutely built-in as an choice to ship vital event-based and working information. Additionally out there are MineStar Fleet for real-time machine monitoring, project and productiveness administration; Terrain that allows steering know-how and high-precision administration of shovel operators; and Detect to extend operator consciousness and improve security.
