Merlo telescopic chargers delivered by Mewi in 2025 will integrate the ASCS innovative system

The title itself contains all the relative information The novelty of the year by the Italian producer Blackbird. What until recently, in the description of the characteristics of the Merlo telescopic charges, was MCDC – Merlo dynamic load control – pregnancy displaywill be replaced this year by the system ASCS (Adaptive stability control system), responsible for overload protection and equipment control.

Of George TanaseMerlo brand manager, we discover that, this year, Mewi will provide the first units provided of the innovative ASCS system: «Almost all types of Merlo telescopic charges have the ASCS system in standard equipment, with others existing as an option. Given the increasingly demanding requirements of fertilizers, in our product portfolio there are, mostly, standards with this system. «

What is the ASCS system?

This operational security system of the Merlo chargers, called ASCS (Adaptive Stability Control System) controls the real operating parameters and allows the operator to process

The operational principle of the system is based on three parameters:

• Managed load – kg of high material (read by a pregnancy cell)
• The loading position – calculated with the help of special sensors that read the extension and the lifting angle of the arm and the rotation angle)
• The accessory /device connected in use – automatically recognized by the ASCS system.

In 2016, the system was launched for the range of Roto machines, a category for construction work and in 2017 received the special mention of the Samoter Innovation Award for «The extraordinary attention given to security and ergonomy«Through ASCS, Merlo contributes to the creation of a safer method and allows easy exploitation of the charger, through the operational interface, simple and intuitive to be used.

Starting this year, the system is also available for Merlo telescopic offices intended for the agricultural fieldreplacing the previous MSDC system (Merlo dynamic load control).

ASS SYSTEM FUNCTIONS

The safety in the functioning of telescopic offices, already provided by the previous model, MCDC, has improved the current system by adding new features. I am:

1. Establish the work area

A special function, accessible through the display interface, allows the operator to set the limits of the work area. Its definition can be performed with the help of the Cartesian axes (height and maximum /minimum extension) or second of the relative movements of the arm (lifting and maximum /minimum extension). This solution allows you to simplify operations and increase safety during the works performed in small spaces, such as inside a warehouse.

2. Travel speed setting

Through the display of the ASCS system, the movement speed of the telescopic arm and the connected accessories /devices can be personalized individually, depending on the needs of each operator and the operations to be performed. Up to nine different settings can be archived.

«If the accuracy of the works is high and you do not want maximum working speed, the desired speed can be set by the joystick. Basically, the system KNOW Which accessory or device is connected, weighs the manipulated weight and display on the display inside the cabin the distance until the car's arm can be expanded. In addition, a colorful green area will be highlighted on the display, being this surface on which it can be worked, depending on the task of traveling«, George Tanase, brand manager says.

3. The free area

If the charger is connected to an accessory or a device (for example, a cup of excavator), which the system recognizes accordingly, the free area in which it is possible to perform the works is automatically activated. The area has a ray up to 1 me allows lifting to a 10 ° angle. In this area it is possible to exploit without the system blocked the movement of the accessory attached in the event of overload, facilitating operations and guarantees without interruption.

4. Load storage

On viewing the ASS system it is possible to read the manipulated load (manually or automatically), every time the telescopic arm is collected on the degrees of predetermined inclination.

The average tolerance of measured values ​​is ± 5% because they may vary according to the dynamic equipment stability conditions. The system can store up to 1,000 different values, viewing the total and the last 20 recorded values.

Variants of the ASCS system

The ASCS system is available in two versions, Light AND Premium,

versions Light It guarantees a high level of safety, monitoring the charger parameters in real time, to improve its stability.

versions Premium In addition to the options in the light version, it offers a 10 «display to view the different operating parameters, the work diagram and the setting of different charges of charger.
