PROVEN HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM

The high output engine combined with Komatsu’s and easy operation
proven HydrauMind system provides high production

What is HydrauMind?

The HydrauMind system symbolizes the new technology proportional pressure and lever stoke sensed. The load
featured on the Avance series where the load sensing sensing valves are the “brains” of the avance excavators
valves and pressure compensation valves handle all allowing full automatic oil flow control without the need for
adjustments for individual work applications based on the computer control in all operations.

Benefits of HydrauMind system

• You can operate all work equipment easily and as
desired.
• For example, when the ground condition changes in
digging, the required oil amount automatically flows to
the actuators.
• You do not have to worry about lever stroke or the
computer program.
• When moving the boom, arm and bucket at the same
time, all equipment works, just like a human hand, at
the optimum combination of speed and power without
using any electronic device.
• The finest controllability you have ever experienced.
• Changing or adding valves and work equipment is
easy.

Effective work using HydrauMind system

Fine control with lifting operations is easy. The arm can be moved slowly under full power, ensuring

It is easy to scrape down. (for reason 2)

Even without operating the lever to the maximum

position, maximum digging power can be obtained,
making it possible to carry out slow control.
It is easier to fully load the bucket. (for reason 2)
During simultaneous operation, the work equipment
moves slowly at maximum power, without being
influenced by the other actuators, so it is easy to fully
load the bucket.

The machine can carry out operations easily without
any undue chassis vibration. (for reason 2)
During simultaneous operations, there is no change in
the work equipment speed caused by change in load,
thus, there is minimal chassis vibration.
It is easy to dig soft rock or dig up boulders.

TWO BOOM SETTINGS

1. Smooth mode
While gathering blasted rocks with the arm, lifting of
machine front portion is prevented and shock due to
machine falling is reduced. As a result, gathering
material with arm is executed smoothly. (This is
especially effective for gathering work from 1m (3'3")
under-ground to the surface.) In addition, this is
effective for scraping down facings loosened by
blasting (dealing with floating stones).

PERFORMANCE continued

Improvement of travel performance

The travel junction valve is installed in the control valve to improve the straight travel performance, steering
performance, and gradeability.
When machine travels straight
Oil of the same quantity flows through the travel junction
valve to both travel motors so the machine will travel
straight.

When machine is steered

The travel junction valve is closed and oil flows separately
to each travel motor, thus the machine can turn smoothly
according to the operation of the travel lever.

When machine travels uphill (Operation of work

equipment + Travel)
The travel junction valve is opened and oil of the same
quantity flows constantly from 1 pump to both travel
motors, thus the machine can travel and work
simultaneously.
