Nouvelles brèves
60 ans à Bauma pour SENNEBOGEN Au cours des premières années du salon, qui se tenait chaque année dans cette période où il y avait beaucoup de reconstruction post-Guerre mondiale en cours, le salon de Munich s’est imposé comme le premier salon mondial pour les machines et équipements de construction avec une croissance nombre d’exposants internationaux et est devenu un important point de rencontre de l’industrie. Parallèlement à l’importance croissante de Bauma, SENNEBOGEN a également grandi et déjà en 1960, la 1000e pelle quittait l’usine. À l’époque, Bauma était le point culminant de l’industrie, et les nouveaux développements étaient traditionnellement présentés au public mondial à Munich. Depuis 1977, Bauma a adopté un cycle de 3 ans. SENNEBOGEN a fait l’histoire à Bauma 1980 avec la première mondiale de la flèche articulée et réglable hydrauliquement (GAUH). Cette innovation a changé le monde des pelles hydrauliques et, à ce jour, reste la norme mondiale. Aujourd’hui, SENNEBOGEN est devenu le chef de file mondial du marché dans divers secteurs de la manutention des matériaux et du levage. La solidarité avec Bauma est évidente, non seulement du fait que l’entreprise a été un accompagnateur fidèle et continu à la foire pendant 60 ans, mais aussi de son importance au cœur des industries des machines de construction. En 2019, le stand SENNEBOGEN de plus de 2000 m2 comptera 11 machines allant des petits télescopiques aux grandes grues à chenilles. Une fois de plus, pendant une semaine, le salon de Munich sera le point de rencontre des passionnés de machines de construction, des clients et des fabricants de l’industrie mondiale des machines de construction.

COMANSA et BKL Baukran Logistik réunis pour le salon Bauma Le stand de près de 800 m2 est situé au même endroit qu’en 2016, quand ils ont exposé une grue 21LC750 de 80 m de hauteur, la plus haute grue à tour présentée lors de cette édition du salon Bauma. Le rapprochement entre les entreprises a démarré, en 2011, quand BKL a fait l’acquisition de 6 grues «flat-top» COMANSA, d’une capacité de charge allant de 8 t à 18 t. Par la suite, BKL est même devenu distributeur des grues COMANSA en Allemagne. BKL Baukran Logistik est l’un des plus importants fournisseur de grues en Europe. L’entreprise basée à Munich possède une flotte comptant plus de 100 grues mobiles et environ 500 grues à tour, dont une trentaine provenant de la gamme de grues moyennes et lourdes de COMANSA allant jusqu’à 50 t de capacité et 90 m de portée.

Weber MT à Bauma Petite, légère et compacte – la plaque vibrante CF 1 HD est d’un poids nettement réduit et, grâce à son support amovible, peut être facilement transportée même dans le coffre d’une voiture – un avantage majeur pour une société de location. La plaque vibrante CF 2 A a été spécialement conçue pour le compactage de l’asphalte avec une modification de la géométrie de la plaque de base. Les ingénieurs ont également modifié la fixation de la barre de guidage jusqu’à ce qu’elle offre aux professionnels la meilleure maniabilité possible. Le compacteur de sol CFR 90 est équipé pour répondre aux demandes spéciales des clients. Il peut être muni, par exemple, d’une plaque de base qui est presque «ronde». Avantage : la machine peut être utilisée là où l’espace est restreint – dans les tranchées ou les endroits qui exigent une alternative à une pilonneuse. Les visiteurs du stand Weber MT pourront aussi se familiariser avec le WEtrac – la solution de télémétrie pour les compacteurs de sol avec un poids de fonctionnement entre 400 et 750 kg. On y trouvera également des nouvelles versions du compacteur de sol réversible CR 6 HD disponibles avec moteur à essence Honda, et la plaque vibratoire CF 3 équipée d’une plaque de base optimisée et d’un système de gicleurs d’eau, et disponible avec un moteur diesel Hatz.

John Deere is ready to run with a complete Stage V lineup The Stage V technologies used on these engines are built upon years of engine and application engineering expertise. As both an engine and machine manufacturer, John Deere boasts a remarkable 1 billion hours of global experience with diesel particulate filter technologies – this extensive knowledge is the foundation of the proven emissions solutions provided to OEM customers. “Through each consecutive stage of emissions regulations, John Deere provided solutions that addressed key customer needs. These included increased uptime, low operating costs and flexible integration. The same applies to Stage V,” said Sandrine Couasnon, manager, marketing services and sales engineering for Europe, Africa and the Middle East at JDPS. Stage V after-treatment technologies from John Deere are optimized for flexible integration and several offer reduced packaging and weight from previous Stage IV solutions. And because the technologies are built on the same engine platform as current Stage IV solutions, the need for OEMs to re-engineer due to hardware or mounting changes is reduced. “Our goal is to continue to provide a strategic advantage to our global OEM customers as we move into Stage V, just as we’ve done with prior regulation changes,” said Ms. Couasnon. “And with our worldwide service network of more than 4,000 locations, customers can find support wherever it’s needed.”

Epiroc at Bauma 2019 Longer service life, great flexibility and higher carrier utilization have been the essential fields of development for Epiroc´s hydraulic attachment tool designers recently. Epiroc expands the offering by smart additions that save customer´s investments, increase their productivity and carry out their work in the best possible way. Epiroc will introduce pulverizer jaws for the CC 3100 Combi Cutter at Bauma, more models will follow during Q2 2019. Pulverizer jaws offer more applications with one cutter body, the utilization of the cutter is increased and rounds off the needs on smaller jobsites. Epiroc´s Coupling and Positioning System (CAPS) makes it easy to switch between the jaw types on site to suit the work at hand. The full jaw range consists of Universal (U) jaws, Steel Cutting (S) jaws and Pulverizer (P) jaws. The new CC 1600 Combi Cutter model is designed for carriers in the 13-23 t class. The stable cutter body features 2 powerful hydraulic cylinders with integrated speed valves for minimum cycle times and, in turn, minimum fuel consumption. Fully protected by piston rod guards, the cylinders deliver virtually constant closing force which remains high even when the jaws are almost closed. Two jaws moving independently eliminate displacement forces on the cutter and the carrier, ensuring controlled demolition of unstable concrete walls, regardless of which jaw attacks the material first. By redesigning the MG multi grapple range to make it even more robust, Epiroc is able to meet the increasing demands from customers, who face tougher jobsite conditions and higher utilization of grapples in their day-to-day work. The MG 1000 will be on display at Bauma and the entire range will be replaced step by step during Q2 and Q3. As a new option, to allow even better customization of the grapples, they can now be ordered with or without rotation device, to enable operation of the base units in combination with tiltrotators. A cutting wheel option is now available for the ER/ERC 50 – ER/ERC 3000 transverse drum cutters. Precision is key when it comes to cutting narrow trenches for cables or pipes. Now trenches with a width of 55-250 mm and a depth ranging from 150 mm (ER/ERC 50) up to 700 mm (ER/ERC 3000) can be cut in one go.
CM Labs at Bauma 2019 Once trainees are familiar with the equipment, they can get behind the controls of an equipment simulator and work through the built-in training curriculum, or focus on the development of specific operator skills.

Both simulators can run CM Labs’ full catalogue of lifting and earthmoving training packs, including Mobile Crane, Flat-top Tower Crane, Luffing Tower Crane, Crawler Crane, Excavator, Wheel Loader, Backhoe, Dozer, Motor Grader, and more. These simulators are designed to run independently, or as part of a unique tandem lift operation that will be on display for the first time at Bauma 2019, allowing 2 trainees to work simultaneously and cooperatively to complete a crawler crane lifting exercise. In addition, CM Labs will be displaying its Signalperson Training Station, which allows a 3rd team member to provide hand signals to the operators, while a 4th team member can supervise the operation, or inject challenges using the Instructor Operating Station.
