 VHMS Example
 Overrun , over load
 Retarder overheat
 Cooling radiator clogging
Correct operation  Excessive shoe slip
 Insufficient warming up
 Excessive T/C stall
 Sudden shift F/R
= shorter life of engine, power line, and axle due to excessive load
= brake premature wear, seizing
= shorter life of engine due to heat damage to rubber parts
= premature wear on grouser of shoes on bulldozer
= engine seizure, pump cavitation
= shorter life of T/C
= premature wear on clutch discs

Service meter = correct periodic maintenance(oil, coolant and filter)

Correct Lower level (oil,coolant) & alarm = correct maintenance, cleaning clogged filter archangel element

 PAYLOAD METER III
General Summary
REDUCE OVERLOAD…OPTIMIZE PAYLOADS..MAXIMIZE PRODUCTIVITY!

» PLM III is an electronic system that

monitors and records payload
information for Komatsu’s family of Off-
Highway mining trucks. It was released
in June 2001. (200 Units: 730E, 830E &
930E)
» PLM III offers improved accuracy of
payload measurement and reliability.
This information can be used as a tool to
SOFTWARE CAPABILITIES:
reduce the total cost of ownership for
Komatsu equipment. » Count each shovel pass
» Record segment times for the entire
haul cycle (loading, hauling, etc)
» Provide repetitive accuracy of payload
measurement
» Report the details of each haul cycle
» Saves and stores up to 5,208 payloads
in memory

 PAYLOAD METER III
Benefits

• Simple method to track production

• Integrates easily with mine management systems (IE Dispatch)
• Provides feedback to loading operators for better control of
overloads
• Unique Speedometer/Payload gauge give the truck operator
critical information from one source on the dashboard
• Better loading management is the key to reduced wear and tear on
equipment producing longer life and lower maintenance costs for
the long haul.

 Payload / Overload Policy
10-10-20
Four (4) Main Criteria;
1. Payload Up To 110% Of Rated Payload Must Not Account For More Than 90% Of Total Loads

2. Payloads Between 110% and 120% Of Rated Payload May Occur No More Than 10% Of The Time

3. No Single Load Shall Exceed 120% Of Rated Payload

4. Average Of All Payloads, Measured Monthly, Shall Not Exceed The Rated Payload
Number of Loads

90% of Total 10% of Total

Loads Loads 0% of Total Loads

 AC Electric Drive Advantages
1) Maintenance and Operation
• Fewer Gears and Bearings (Mechanical Components)
• Less Maintenance Intensive – Higher Availability
• Easier Maintenance – Less Components
• Less Complex Drive System
2) Electric Drive Systems Have No Mechanical Gear Shifting
• Eliminates Shift Shock
• Improves Operator Comfort
3) Dynamic Retarding vs. Mechanical Retarding
• No Brake Wear
• In Some Downhill Applications – Brakes Represent the Largest Budget
Item for Mechanical Drive Trucks!
4) More Hours of Field Experience
• Electric Drive Has Been in Off-Highway Applications Longer Than
Mechanical Drive Trucks
• Electric Drive Systems Are Continually Used in the Locomotive Industry
– The Number 1 Transportation System Worldwide
