HYUNDAI UPDATES WHEEL LOADERS WITH EDITION 25 MODELS
)
AAVM+
Initially available on
HL940A, HL955A, HL970A and HL975 Edition 25 loaders, AAVM+ takes Hyundai’s Advanced
Around View Monitoring system to a new level, by combining a rear-mounted radar
sensor and a steering angle sensor, with the multiple-camera AAVM set-up. Much
like an automotive reversing camera system, AAVM+ indicates where the rear of
the machine will travel when reversing, even when steering, highlighting
hazards within the potential area of movement.
The system uses a 180° radar to detect obstacles and to highlight blind
spots. The steering angle sensor allows the system to predict the arc of travel
and AAVM+ defines any danger zones within that area. The machine provides
visual and audible warnings for the operator, in the predicted zone of
movement, making it easier for the driver to work, with fewer false warnings.
Clearview X
Clearview X is an innovative
twin camera system, that in effect helps the operator to ‘see through’ the
bucket on a wheel loader. Using cameras mounted on the top and bottom of the
machine, Clearview X displays the combined image in real time on the monitor in
the cab. This allows the operator to see an image of what is in front of the
machine, even if it is obscured by the bucket from the driver’s seat.
The system greatly enhances
site safety, reducing the risk of collisions or harm to other site staff who
may be walking in front of the loader. A secondary benefit of the system is
that it can provide a new forward view to the operator during loading and
unloading of material, increasing productivity and reducing operating time.
These two optional systems
have initially been developed for Hyundai’s core loader models, though
additional A-Series machines may be added in the future.
