  • Caterpillar equipment demonstration at the Edwards testing facility. What is not noticed until later on in the demonstration is that there is no operator in the equipment and that it is being operated remotely.

    The glass is there to block all the noise. If you've been around the machines while operating you know how loud they are. Behind that glass and in that room you barely hear the machines run.

    In the early 80's I had a job with a D10 and a 992 loader at work. I could watch it all day long in spite of the -40 temperatures.

    It's more than a half inch if its soundproof in that room! That machine is loud, especially in a warehouse!

    they could quite possibly do stuff like load trucks automatically in the near future but theres not a hope in hell of a machine being able to do the really intricate stuff for a few generations.

    Wow. amazing machine. Its nice that Cat actually made the RC setup to protect the operator of the machine, still get the job done, but no life's lost, nice. But scary how advanced machines are becoming, even though RC is extremely old school.

    what would happen if the remote lost signal, just watch the tractor plow in to some stuff?

  • @Abigsoxfan
    @Abigsoxfan  12 лет назад

    Yep, RC operated so it can be used in hazardous situations where danger to the operator can be diminished or eliminated.

    When I was growing up I had a neighbor who worked for Caterpiller ( George Montoya ). He said they had fitted a d-9 with a remote control in 1965. The D-9 was used to move molten hot slag at the old Kieser steel Plant in Ontario,Ca. He showed me a picture of it in action and it was clear why they needed to control it remotely. The tracks were glowing orange from the heat.

    Back in the day we took the first D-10-s still in the testing program by Caterpillar
    in San Diego: It's been some years: 79 80" don't just know when now; The general closed his doors; McCoys bought it; we ran it for a few more years: it was a dirt pushing monster, Nothing like these cats today: we also brought in the first D-11 to our region : That turned out to be a disaster once it had been assembled" although it checked out good to go on the oil sample's before it shipped" so said the engine had been out; the dealer did a R&R:
    Once I had it all back together"
    changed out the filters: did it all: primed everything up neat & clean as could be"
    The cat skinner an old time climbs in: The super; the owner & who all else near by"
    We are all are awestruck when it begins to rumble a way' It was awesome to see & hear" : I mean awestruck with it's mass" & sound"
    >>>>> BUT Vary short lived" that with in just a few short seconds turned in to panic;' One of the new engine oil filters blew out" sending oil all over the place; & of course I heard all kinds of you know what" put two more on same thing; next time just the one" blew out in a heart beat: dropped the pan:
    It had wound one rod around the crank an other one jammed up like a rubber hose:
    The crank was all eat up, galled all to heck: If not for the filters blowing out: that engine would had completely eating it self up blowing a hole out the side of the block:
    The power still with in the remaining cylinders: didn't miss the others not even:
    Turned out after close study on the equipment log some one had done a little fudging: They bough that one" back charged" we got it back good as knew: Ran right from there on after: Never missed a lick after that:
    The D-10 lived a short life' it went to the chop shop: Now that did up set me some
    when I heard about It" So much so I actually put up a fuse over hearing what was in store for it" I think mostly knowing it's History" I even had the engine while at the dealer when it was with the first general" The cat
    it was well used; It was a beast of a cat: D-10 unlike how they are today" I spent my years keeping the 666's in the dirt: nearly had all the known 666 on one job in CA one time: Don't know if we had the six or 9 666 Groves had" Then we found some chopped up ones' & a few that still had the old electric retarder brake get up in a couple: Stretch Can's from those coal hauling places" Those were the days: we moved dirt: Lots of it: I loved it all: for yuks there were a couple of the old Model 641 -A-s Some one scrounged a 769 up some place" we put some paint on it: never did
    find much for it do it was so small: just sat:
    SJ Groves was an other high roller for years: It was rock & roll, dam the expense
    go for it: Pretty tight with cat back then:
    It was fun while it lasted" Now there are a whole new bunch that will get all eat up
    with the hogs: watch your back side people: Beware of bigger barns:
    there isn't no net once one falls from the ranks:
    any one from cat gets a load of this" I doubt there is any one there who would be in the know: back in the day I ran a D-7-E in the first of the Roman Plows to hit Vietnam
    that old wish bone A farm was a life save on numerous occasions:

      I don't think they have remote cameras, so I don't think you can do this while watching the crib. Unless of course you're digging in your back yard.

      I can always get a wifi GoPro or Ian Air Camera and iPhone. It will be sweet. By the way, Komatsu has an app so the doxer will move the dirty all by itself. Just load app, pree Auto and enjoy that cuppa.

    • @uni000ver000sal

      So we need cameras on the operators to operate remotely - This is almost going back to the current Status Quo.

    it gets out of range of the remote signal it can have a shut-off switch allowing the dozer to stop in case of lost signal to the controller but fascinating all together next will be big rigs hauling our everyday needs with long distance signal and a video cam so they can drive the trucks from home without lifting a finger

  • @jtkpilot
    @jtkpilot 10 лет назад +1

    The remote is nice, but an operator in there has more feel as to what the machine with do in situations so the machines get less wear because the operator knows better how to operate the machine because in the cat he sees what happens, and also feels how rough it is

    • @davidmansfield9696
      @davidmansfield9696 10 лет назад +2

      An operator in a machine is always preferable everything else being equal. But when the machine is in a dangerous area, either from physical hazards or environmental issues, this is a great option to have.
