X Watch - XW4 Series
The XW4 monitors a heavy machinery’s height and slew movement. It has been designed to accurately restrict using feather-touch proportional hydraulic control a machine’s height and left/right slew parameters, ensuring operator and machine safety, and providing a safe, comfortable environment for the operator and those around the machine.
Height Control
Operation is fail safe and fully automatic with function selection never more tha two key presses away.
All potential machine high points are monitored and appropriate motions controlled. Full power is always available to move away from a limit.
Motions are controlled with ramped slow down on approach and soft-stop. There is no machine 'bounce', overshoot, or undershoot. An optional chassis sensor can be installed to correct for terrain slope.
SLEW Control
Single/dual parallel wall or angular limitation are available. When walls are in use. the front end equipment is also monitored and controlled for limit breach.
Limits can be either manually keyed in or set by positioning the machine. If both limits are active, the system will automatically flip to the appropriate display should a hazard approach occur. Set up is simple, quick, and can be protected with an optional access key switch. All settings are retained and will be active on start-up.
