The C7 engine provides a full-rated gross power (SAE J1995) of 167 kW (224 hp) at 2200 rpm with a torque of 872 N-m. The combination of large displacement and high torque allow the AP-1000D to perform under the toughest conditions.
The HEUI™ fuel system is unique and combines the technical advancement of an electronic control system with the simplicity of HEUI fuel injection. The HEUI fuel system excels in its ability to control injection pressure over the entire engine operating speed range. These features allow the C7 engine to have complete control over injection timing, duration and pressure.
Multiple injection fuel delivery involves a high degree of precision. Precisely shaping the combustion cycle lowers combustion chamber temperatures, which generates fewer emissions, optimizes fuel combustion and translates into more work output for your fuel cost.
High cylinder pressures combined with tightly controlled tolerances promote extremely efficient fuel burn, less blow-by and lower emissions.
The C7 engine's cylinder block offers increased tensile strength. It features improved sealing with gaskets to ensure fewer leaks. This new design supports the engine's higher compression ratios and increases its power density. The incorporation of straight-thread “O” ring connection points reduce the loss of engine oil and fluids.
The C7 engine sound reduction features include composite valve covers with a fully isolated base, a steel oil pan and a cast iron front cover. The HEUI™ fuel systems rate-shaping technology also provides control of sound and vibration levels.
Easier service, maintenance and repair is accomplished by monitoring key functions and logging critical indicators. Advanced electronic diagnostic capabilities are possible using CAT Electronic Technician.
The turbocharged air-to-air aftercooling system provides high horsepower with increased response time while keeping exhaust temperatures low for long hours of continuous operation. Air-to-air aftercooling keeps air intake temperatures down, maximizing fuel efficiency and minimizing emissions.
The ADEM A4 electronic control module manages fuel delivery, valve timing and airflow to get the most performance per liter (gallon) of fuel used. The control module provides flexible fuel mapping, allowing the engine to respond quickly to varying application needs. The control module also monitors engine and machine conditions while keeping the engine at peak efficiency.
The dual operator stations incorporate fully equipped consoles with adjustable suspension seats, armrests and retractable seat belts.
The dual operator stations can be positioned in one of four different locations to provide optimum visibility. The stations can extend beyond the machine frame for good visibility when joint matching or while paving other applications where precise control is required.
Each operator's station includes ground speed indicators, material handling controls, propel controls and screed extender controls. The controls for each station are in the same relative position providing easy control from either console.
A speed control dial located on each operator station allows the operator to set a maximum travel speed which is important for producing a smooth, high-quality mat.
The center control console includes analog gauges, switches and a digital display for machine functions. The center console also houses a majority of the electrical components including the machine controller.
The machine controller integrates performance functions and allows the feeder and auger speeds to be set independently which extends component life.
The AP-1000D provides precise mix delivery with minimal operator monitoring through the most advanced material handling system.
Left and right feeders in addition to the left and right augers are controlled independently. The ability to control these four components separately, through a machine controller, eliminates the need for feeder gates.
In order to control mix delivery, the operator sets a speed rate for each feeder that will maintain the desired mix level in the left and right auger chambers.
Once the feeder speeds are set, the ratio of feeder speed to the maximum auger speed is automatically maintained by the machine controller, even though the propel rate may change as the job progresses.
This ratio control capability is particularly helpful when paving wider on one side of the machine than on the other. Each feeder can be set at a specified speed to deliver the proper amount of mix that is needed.
The gateless feeders on the AP-1000D always run full of mix regardless of the speed required to fill the auger chamber. This is typically a slower speed than would be experienced with a paver utilizing feeder gates to control mix delivery rates. By not always having to run at full speed, feeder component wear is significantly reduced.
When changes in feeder speed are required, delivery of mix to the augers is immediate. This is in contrast to pavers with gates, where any delivery rate change is delayed for the length of time it takes to clear the tunnel of mix from the previous gate setting.
Running at slower speeds can also help reduce the opportunity for segregation, especially when working with larger stone mixes that have more of a tendency to segregate.
The sharp turning radius and high speeds allow the paver to move quickly around the job site.
Pave, travel and maneuver modes provide good control and versatility. The new maneuver mode provides less than a 1.5 m (5') turning radius for excellent maneuverability in tight quarters.
The 18.00 x 25 sand-rib drive tires provide good tractive effort and a smooth ride.
The 16" x 22", solid rubber steering tires provide maximum ground contact and smooth operation.
Four, front solid rubber steering wheels are mounted on pairs of oscillating bogies, providing a smooth ride.
Steering assist feature improves maneuverability and enhances component life by adjusting the drive speed of one side of the propel system according to the steering angle of the front wheels which allows the machine to turn while maintaining the same speed.
The front wheel assist feature provides power to the rear bogey wheels for additional tractive effort.
The long wheel base provides good tractive effort and stability on soft base materials.
The closed-loop system automatically compensates for component wear, hydraulic oil temperature and oil viscosity changes to ensure complete, low-effort, operator control.
The machine controller provides accurate control of steering and propulsion systems and ensures straight-line tracking.
The dual-path steering system ensures the speed of each wheel is proportional to the drive output, allowing the machine to turn while maintaining the same speed as determined by the speed control.
A fixed displacement motor drives a two speed planetary providing quick mobility around the job site.
The airflow design draws ambient air across the engine compartment and through the radiator. This new design allows the exhaust air to exit the right side of the machine in order to provide a cooler engine compartment and operator platform.
The high capacity cooling system allows the fan to run slower, reducing power demand while extending component life.
The variable speed fan is electronically controlled and hydraulically driven providing on-demand cooling, reduced engine power demand and quiet operation.
The 24 kW generator is hydraulically driven through a load-sensing, pressure-compensating pump providing quiet operation.
A single switch on the tractor's operating console activates the generator. The generator includes GFCI protection.
Full power is provided to the electric screed and auxiliary power panel while the engine is operating at 1200 rpm. A control manifold and internal voltage regulator maintains constant frequency and voltage at both high and low idle.
The power panel provides 8 kW of power and includes four, 120-volt receptacles protected by ground fault circuit interruption (GFCI) and two, 240-volt receptacles.
The auxiliary power panel can be used to supply power for night-time lighting and job site work tools.
The panel door can remain closed while power cords are attached to the receptacles providing effective protection.
The screed control panel incorporates touch-pad technology with high intensity LED's that promote simplified use and diagnostic capability with minimal operator training.
The electric screed plate heating system eliminates the use of diesel fuel burners, creating a user-friendly environment.
Whether you are paving interstates, highways, residential streets or commercial sites, the electric screed heat system performs under the toughest conditions.
The electric screed provides a warm-up time in 30 minutes or less to 122° C (220° F) when ambient temperatures are at or above 22° C (40° F).
The heating elements are mounted to the screed plates in a multi-zone configuration to provide even heat distribution.
The screed plates incorporate thermostatically controlled temperature sensors in each screed section including the extenders. The temperature sensors provide inputs to the screed controller.
