2010
As use of ICT for construction equipment became more common, things like crewless dump trucks, IT execution, and KOMTRAX were further developed. Hybrid equipment that decreased both fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emission was introduced and marked a new generation of construction machines.
The newly developed "Water-cooled High Torque Servo Motor" is installed, in order to further improve productivity. Furthermore, the productivity is improved by installing a pendulum motion. By adopting the newly developed "High-capacity Capacitor Storage System" for presses, the power supply and consumption are reduced to the same level as the mechanical presses.
The usability of the various settings of the servo press is improved, by adopting a simple and uniform screen design with a 15-inch large touch panel display. Provides assistance for reducing the number of trial and improvement of productivity, moldability, and mold life, by enabling easy creation of the slide motions suitable for the desired process.
KOMTRAX (Komatsu Machine Operation Tracking System), equipped as a standard feature to Komatsu’s products, now offers four new optional menus for the machine.
Other Equipment
There were other construction machines built by Komatsu over the years. We can see how the various designs mirrored different eras if we look at them set against the flow of history.
