ePS

Engcon is now taking one step further into the future by adapting its products to the latest technology with excavator guidance systems/machine sensors.

ePS is optimised for Engcon’s smart DC2 control systems where the cabling for the ePS is integrated with the cabling for DC2 but is also “open”, which means the ePS also works together with Engcon’s other control systems and those of other makes.

Conditions
The technology is based on signals from the ePS to the excavator guidance system used by the customer on his excavator. The aim is to enable as many manufacturers’ excavator guidance systems as possible to be able to communicate with the ePS.

Advantages
Together with the selected excavator guidance system, ePS reduces the need for a ‘conventional’ setup, and the driver can see the exact excavation area via the machine control system’s display in the cab. This control, ensuring that exactly the right quantity of material is excavated, provides many benefits:

• Reduced project time
• Reduced fuel consumption
• Reduced machine and attachment wear
• Exact digging, reducing overdigging and cartaway
• Optimised to the DC2 control system
• Can be ordered with, or retrofitted, to all generation 2 tiltrotators from EC209 upwards

Engcon supplies the rotation sensor and the excavator guidance system supplier supplies the tilt sensor.

Auto-tilt and auto-rotation functions can also be obtained with the combination ePS and certain makes of excavators and excavator guidance systems. Contact your excavator guidance system supplier for further information.
