Developed using decades of experience in hydraulic, battery-powered and electric excavator technologies, the ZH200 model was presented earlier this year at the Intermat exhibition. Better for the environment, easier for the operator and more economical for the owner, the ZH200 hybrid heralds the start of a new generation of Hitachi excavators. It is equipped with a high-performance TRIAS HX system – a combination of a hybrid system with the energy-efficient TRIAS hydraulic system. This reduces fuel consumption and CO2 by 20 per cent (fuel consumption is compared with the ZX210-3 in P-mode). The excavator’s user-friendly design incorporates a monitoring system, which highlights fuel usage on an average hourly and daily basis. It also features low maintenance and highly durable electrical components. Yusuke Kajita, General Manager of the Construction Equipment Hitachi launches ZW250-5 Development Centre at Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., says: “Technically advanced machines make Hitachi stand out wheel loader from the crowd. Advanced technology is necessary to maintain our position in the market – not just for the hydraulics and engine, Following the successful launch of its Zaxis-5 excavators, but also for electrical technology. Hitachi has unveiled the first of its ZW-5 wheel loaders. The new “Hitachi is the biggest electrical products manufacturer in Japan ZW250-5 has been designed to comply with EU regulations on and so we are very strong in this area. So, when fossil fuels are in emission standards and satisfy the requirements of European short supply and become more expensive, electrical technology customers. It offers an exceptional level of comfort, excellent will be the key to the future and we will be in an excellent position productivity, advanced technology, and a range of features for to capitalise on this.” enhanced sustainability, safety and easy maintenance. The cab is more spacious than the previous model and it has greater visibility thanks to a pillar-less windshield and large sun visor. The 7.8-litre six-cylinder water-cooled turbo engine enables a powerful digging performance, impressive travel speeds and excellent fuel consumption. An example of its advanced technology is the quick power switch, which boosts the power when required by changing work modes. One work mode is for regular operations, with the benefit of efficient fuel consumption; the other is for more demanding jobs and increases productivity. The sustainability of the ZW250-5 is highlighted by the muffler filter. It captures air pollutants, which are automatically burnt thanks to an oxidation catalyst and exhaust temperature control. Easy maintenance features include the redesigned engine and radiator cover, which can be opened fully to provide quick access for daily inspection. Wilbert Blom, HCME International Sales, says, “We believe that the new ZW wheel loader not only meets our customers’ expectations of high quality and reliability, but also provides a safe working environment, a comfortable cab with easy-to-use controls, and overall, a machine that responds quickly and precisely.” 04 Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) NV Zaxis-5 range unveiled at TKD The biennial TKD (Technische Kontakt Dagen) event took place in Wezep, The Netherlands in June. The three-day exhibition is one of the most important for the domestic market of Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) NV (HCME). It allows visitors to test drive construction machinery on display and make comparisons between competitive products. HCME and its domestic dealer took the opportunity to present the new Zaxis-5 excavators to the Dutch market. Several models were on display, including the ZX250LC-5, ZX290LC-5, ZX350LC-5 and ZX470LCH-5. The manufacturer also showcased the ZX250LC-5 with a 15-metre super long front and a ZX470LCH-5 with a 25-metre demolition front. Dutch owners and operators were drawn to the Hitachi stand by two other special attractions: the new ZW250-5 wheel loader and the ZH200 hybrid excavator. Both were on display in The Netherlands for the first time. In addition, the ZX60USB-3 mini excavator, ZX145W-3 wheeled excavator and the ZW150 wheel Unique paint process for loader were available to test drive and proved extremely popular among visitors. factory Director of Domestic Sales Pieter Weerts was pleased to see many existing Hitachi customers at this year’s TKD and delighted with the Hitachi Construction Machinery (Europe) NV (HCME) has response to the stand: “The exhibition has been a huge success implemented a unique process to reduce chemical waste from once again, with 20,000 visitors. I think people were particularly the painting process at its factory in Amsterdam. Developed in impressed by the Hitachi stand because it was spacious, with lots cooperation with Advantage Chemicals Ltd., the process will of machines to try out and one of the few to show larger machines save an estimated €60,000 per year on labour and energy costs, over 25 tonnes at work.” as well as disposal costs for waste water and sludge. The old painting process produced approximately 260 tonnes of waste per year. The paint would sink to the bottom of the pool of water beneath the paint facility. Twice a year, the pool had to be cleaned, and the water and paint had to be removed, which was costly in terms of labour, energy, water and waste removal. HCME Production Engineering Manager Robin Huijsman, who is also Compliance Officer for Environmental Regulation, says, “Cleaning the pool was a difficult and dirty job. With the new system, we are able to remove the overspray paint and reuse the water. The facility is cleaner and the filtering system that removes paint particles from the air functions better. Less solvents are released into the factory air and there is less dust.” The new process combines real-time CoAg (coagulation) systems with waste water treatment systems. Instead of sinking, the paint is suspended in the water and pumped to a waste treatment tank. “Advantage Chemicals developed a chemical that makes the paint float. What is really innovative is that we only need to run this process for four hours per month,” adds Robin. “The floating paint sludge is then skimmed off the top of the tank and is estimated at 30 tonnes per year. The new system has improved the overall carbon footprint of the HCME factory in Amsterdam.” GROUND CONTROL 05 NEWS Regis Moulin, the founder and CEO of Moulin TP Global e-Service helps Moulin TP to manage its fleet Global e-Service – an essential tool Developed to protect the investment made by customers in Hitachi and can calculate an average over a self-defined period. This is construction machinery, the Support Chain after-sales programme particularly useful at a time when fuel prices are rising steadily.

It is a key tool in surveying and engineering work, particularly on inaccessible ground. A modern theodolite consists of a movable telescope mounted within two perpendicular axes—the horizontal or turn-on axis and the vertical axis. When the telescope is pointed at a desired object, the angle of each of these axes can be measured with great precision, typically on the scale of arc seconds. Fig.1 Theodolites 1.2 Total Stations A total station is an electronic/optical instrument used in modern surveying. The total station is an electronic theodolite (transit) integrated with an electronic distance meter (EDM) to read distances from the instrument to a particular point where an assistant staff holds reflector.
