An excavator can meet its individual lifting and swing targets but still fall short when loading a truck. How?
Simulating combined boom and swing movements can help engineers identify hydraulic conflicts that reduce excavator productivity. Image: Adobe Stock
Once the operator combines the two movements, competing demands on the hydraulic supply can slow the boom and extend the loading cycle.
For the contractor, the consequence is reduced productivity. For…
