I DA U N I V E R S A L S e p te m b e r - O c to b e r 2 0 1 6 47 NUTS & BOLTS continued from page 43 Komatsu America Corp., a leading global heavy equip- ment manufacturer, intro- duced the new D39PXi-24 crawler dozer, the smart choice for any machine owner looking for intelligence and effi ciency beyond what is typically available in machine control systems. Eliminating the need to install and remove blade- mounted sensors each day not only saves on machine and operator wear and tear, it converts potential downtime into more time spent running the machine. "With factory integra- tion and a host of intelligent capabilities, the more owners of the D39PXi-24 run their machines, the more they save," said Jason Anetsberger, Komatsu senior product manager. " e monthly production gains from starting sooner, fi nishing faster, using less fuel and saving on materials can add up quickly," Anetsberger said. Intelligent Value First-to-last pass, rough- to-fi nish automatic dozing extends production gains. Once engaged, the system automatically starts the cut and lowers the blade to grade in a typical dozing pass. If the load increases to a maximum, the blade automatically raises to minimize track slip to keep dozing productively. is intelligence achieves up to eight percent greater effi ciency in moving material, based on start-to-fi nish grade testing against typical a ermarket machine control systems. Machine Performance Enhancements New standard, operator-select- able, automatic reverse grading mode enables automatic blade control, while reversing to grade target surface, per customer feedback. New Triple Labyrinth fi nal drive housing design provides additional protection for the fi nal drive fl oating seals. Under The Hood A 3.26 L, 105 HP, EPA Tier 4 Final certifi ed, SAA4D95E-7 engine off ers the same power, while increasing fuel effi ciency with the addition of the Selec- tive Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). A new water-cooled Variable Flow Turbocharger provides added durability and excellent engine response. e Komatsu Diesel Oxidation Catalyst provides 100 percent passive regen- eration and does not interfere with machine operation. New auto-idle shutdown helps reduce idle time and saves fuel. e D39PXi- 24, whether rented, leased or purchased, is covered by the Komatsu CARE® program for the fi rst three years or 2000 hours, whichever comes fi rst. Komatsu CARE® includes scheduled factory Komatsu America Corp. Introduces the New D39PXi-24 Crawler Dozer maintenance, a 50-point inspection at each service and two complimentary Komatsu Diesel Particulate Filter exchanges and DEF tank fl ushes in the fi rst fi ve years. ● From: AED, June 2016
