.jpg) Today’s markets have increasingly been demanding higher production rates in form of bigger machines as well as superior machine availability. Traditional shaft driven technology reaches its limitations at a determined width due to the mechanical deflection of the shaft resulting in unacceptable bearing lifetimes. TYCAN’s solution to the market’s demands and the technological limitations of the shaft technology is the exciter driven XL-Class. |
|
The exciter is a completely incased drive unit consisting of short shafts supported by closely positioned bearings. Mounted on a specially designed over head bridge the exciter technology allows TYCAN’s XL-Class to be built at widths in access of 13ft addressing the market need for bigger machines. Due to carefully chosen bearing sizes in combination with maintenance friendly lubrification via oil the demand for availability is addressed by bearing lifetimes as high as 50,000 hours (application dependant). |
|
 Not only does the XL-Class set new standards in its drive principle but also in its body design. Enabling forces of more than 5 G (application dependant) the XL-Class is engineered using state of the art Finite Element Analysis technology (FEA). FEA enables structural calculations by simulating the machine’s dynamic behavior in form of a 3D model. The results of the simulation allow the determination of resulting tensions and natural frequencies to assure a technologically optimized and economically sound design. |
|
Traditionally developed for the mining industries such as copper and iron ore the XL-Class is also finding its way into lower cost markets such as sand, crushed stone and aggregates due to its impressive payback and maintenance friendliness.
