Komatsu's WA600-6 Wheel Loader Built for Power and Durability
WA600-6 Distinguished by Superior Productivity, Fuel Consumption and Operator Comfort
o Dual-mode engine power for maximum efficiency
o Variable displacement piston pumps and CLSS for precise control
o New large capacity lock-up torque converter for faster cycle times
Rolling Meadows, IL, For CONEXPO - CON/AGG 2008- Komatsu America Corp. introduces the WA600-6 wheel loader. The 118,385 pound WA600-6 is designed primarily for quarry, sand and gravel, industrial and smaller mining applications. It offers improved productivity, lower fuel consumption and increased reliability over the WA600-3.
The WA600-6 is powered by a Komatsu SAA6D170E-5 six-cylinder engine, producing 502 net HP at 1,800 RPM, a significant increase in horsepower over the previous model. The engine is EPA Tier 3 emissions certified and is equipped with innovative new technologies including an electronic control system to optimize vehicle performance, a heavy-duty High Pressure Common Rail Fuel Injection system, a new combustion system for reduced noise and fuel consumption, a cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation system and an air-to-air charge air-cooling system. The WA600-6's engine comes standard with dual-mode engine power: The Economy mode for fuel efficiency, and a Power mode for maximum productivity.
The WA600-6 boasts a breakout force of 87,230 pounds, a straight static tipping load of 80,645 pounds and a 40-degree turn tipping load of 67,210 lb. For maximum bucket control during both single and simultaneous bucket movements and improved fuel consumption, the machine is equipped with variable displacement piston pumps and CLSS (Closed Load Sensing System). Its standard 8.4-ydł bucket is ideally suited to loading 50- to 65-ton haul trucks such as Komatsu's HD465-7 and HD605-7.
Special features of the WA600-6 include:
o Designed for Operator Comfort
Inside its large cab, there is standard AJSS (Automatic Joy Stick Steering) for easier and more accurate control, as well as an electronically controlled, five-mode heater and defroster, air conditioning and a suspension-type, reclining seat, designed to keep operators comfortable and less fatigued, resulting in more productive shifts.
Operator fatigue also is reduced with rubber and silicone viscous damping mounts that reduce cab vibration and noise levels. Komatsu designed the cab windows for maximum visibility, while the large-size flat glass contributes to noise reduction inside the cab.
o Exceptional Power and Productivity
During load and carry applications, a new, large capacity lock-up torque converter provides increased productivity, faster cycle times and improved fuel consumption. With a 3-element, single stage, double-phase torque converter and a full-powershift, planetary type transmission, travel speeds have increased over the previous model, with a forward top-speed of 23.4 mph and a reverse top-speed of 23.0 mph. The WA600-6's modulated clutch system controls the tractive effort from 100 percent to 20 percent of the T/C converter output. It offers adjustable travel speed and traction control settings for multiple applications.
Also, the WA600-6's hydraulic cycle times with a rated load in the bucket are exceptionally quick - enabling faster cycle times. It takes only 9.3 seconds to raise a loaded bucket; 2.3 seconds to dump it; and 4.1 seconds to lower an empty bucket. A hydraulically driven, reversible cooling fan uses only the required power to provide the necessary cooling needed for a particular application.
The WA600-6 is outfitted with a new fully hydraulic braking system, including a wet-disc parking brake. The brakes are completely sealed keeping out contaminants and reducing wear and maintenance.
o Komatsu's EMMS (Equipment Management Monitoring System)
The WA600-6 includes Komatsu's EMMS (Equipment Management Monitoring System), which displays 28 different machine functions including fluid/filter change intervals and trouble-shooting memory display functions such as engine oil levels and coolant temperature. Also on board is Komatsu's VHMS (Vehicle Health Monitoring System to provide detailed monitoring of the machine via satellite communication or through laptop computer downloads.
