LINCS II Smart technology for smarter miningP&H’s LeTourneau Integrated NetworkControl System (LINCS II), is designedto help operators meet the challengesof even the most demanding surfacemining applications.The center, dash mounted, LINCS IIinteractive touch screen displayprovides instant, real-time feedback foroperators with a wealth of informationto adjust performance according toconditions. Vital statistics includessuch items as bucket height andangle, individual bucket payload,cumulative truck loads, elapsed timeper loading cycle, and total tonsmoved, available fuel, vehicle speed,coolant temp etc. The easy-to-interpretgraphic format can be easily reconfiguredto meet personal preferences usingthe touch screen display. In addition,LINCS II assists the operator to avoidinappropriate commands. Forexample, should an attempt be made tostart a Generation 2 wheel loader withthe parking brake released, LINCS II willnot let this action happen, and will explainwhy on the interactive data screen. Thisenables the operator to take immediatecorrective action without confusion orwasted effort.The LINCS II systemspeaks your languageLINCS II monitors and controls all loaderfunctions, and alerts the operator viathe touch display whenever attentionis required. LINCS II language interface,with English being standard, is currentlyoffered as options in Chinese, French,Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Turkish.In addition to the alert text messages onthe display, there are two supplementarywarning lights adjacent to the touchdisplay providing notifications as shown:RED indicates a condition requiringimmediate shutdown and correction,accompanied by an audible alert and an“alarm” message on the display.AMBER indicates a less seriouscondition requiring correction, but notrequiring an immediate shutdown. Thisis accompanied by an audible alertand a warning message on the display,along with “what to do” instructions forthe operator.10 | Joy Global | Generation 2 Wheel Loader Product Overview
Features that mines have come to rely onBall and Socket JointsAn exclusive P&H LeTourneau-Seriesdesign, precision-forged ball and socketjoints, are featured on every Generation2 machine. This design absorbs anddistributes multidirectional stressesbetter than conventional pin andclevis systems, providing greater loadbearingcapacity and durability. Longlife is assured through our continuousautomatic lubrication system. Easilyreplaceable socket liners and shimsmake maintenance quick and simple.Hydraulic FeaturesThe hydraulic system employs variabledisplacement axial piston pumps,with flow and pressure compensationfor optimum performance, economicaloperation, and high reliability. Thehydraulic pump gearbox is shaft-drivenand self-lubricating. The gearbox’s inlinefiltration removes particulates down to10 microns absolute, and a conservativelypressurized lubrication delivery networkfor the entire system promotes anextended, trouble-free service life.KLENZ SystemIt’s the world’s most efficient andmoney-saving air filtration system forgiant machines, and Generation 2 wheelloaders have it. KLENZ extends uptimeand cuts costs with a self-purging designthat can stretch filter life to 5,000hours and beyond. It’s 99.9% effective inremoving particles as small as 0.3 micronsfrom the air used for engine intake,cooling the loader’s electrical componentsand pressurizing the operator’s cab.Planetary DriversRobust and durable, P&H LeTourneau-Series’ four stage planetaries feature fullsynthetic lubrication and continuousfiltration for our three largest wheelloaders resulting in long, trouble-free life.Pressurized Axle HousingsP&H LeTourneau-Series pressurizedaxle housings enhance reliability bymaintaining an air-cooled, dust-freeenvironment for the traction motorsand disc service brakes. The machine’selectric drive eliminates the possibility ofdowntime from axle components suchas differentials, universal joints, axlesand drive shafts found in mechanicaldrive systems.Easy-Access MaintenanceUnlike other wheel loader manufacturers,the P&H LeTourneau-Series wheel loadersoffer multiple maintenance-friendlyaccess points all around the machine.Our design offers easily accessiblemaintenance to the engine, radiator,KLENZ filtration system, hydraulic pumpsand hoses, air compressor, and themachine’s SR power conversion systemand traction motors.In addition to these easily accessiblemodular components, the Generation2 machines have separated the high andlow voltage systems and houses themSR Motors and Generatorsin separate cabinets with a separate,Generation 2 wheel loaders use simplecentral Air Valve Cabinet for ease ofand durable SR motors and generatorsmaintenance and safety, which translatesthat eliminate the need for gear shifts,to valuable time saved and maximizedtransmissions and torque converters.productivity.These proven components offermaximum efficiency, ease of maintenanceand outstanding reliability.Generation 2 Wheel Loader Product Overview | Joy Global | 11
