 |  | Power Train
Electronically controlled Caterpillar engines with ACERT technology, modular radiator with 9 fins per inch, and an Electronic Control Module maximizes power to the cutting edge and exceptional haul road speed. |
|
| | C15 Tractor Engine
The Cat C15 Electronically Controlled Unit Injection (EUI) diesel engine powers the tractor. With dual horsepower capability, it provides high power and torque rise for excellent lugging in tough loading conditions. The C15 is designed for long hours of continuous operation with high displacement and low RPM ratings. |
|
C9 Scraper Engine
The 627G is tandem powered by the Cat C9 scraper engine for peak performance and high productivity in self-loading applications. The C9 has a smaller physical envelope than the Cat 3306 it replaced, weighs less, and delivers more horsepower. In addition, all daily inspection points are located on the right hand side for easier maintenance. |
|
Dual Horsepower
Electronic engines deliver increased power when the auger is engaged or when the machine is in the roading gears, providing quicker acceleration on the haul road. |
|
ACERT Technology
The C15 and the C9 electronic engines with ACERT technology meet US EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage III emission regulations. ACERT technology reduces emissions during the combustion process by using advanced technology in the air and fuel systems, in conjunction with integrated electronics. Caterpillar meets emission regulations at the combustion source rather than recycling exhaust gases. |
|
Electronic Control Module (ECM)
The ECM utilizes advanced engine management software to monitor, control and protect the engine. ECM maintains an active electronic fault log that aids troubleshooting. Engine speed governing doesn’t require any adjustment since it is fully electronic. In addition, ECM improves performance during cold starts as well as compensating for high altitude operations and air filter plugging. Input from sensors allow the ECM to monitor and control injection, timing, injection pressure, engine cooling fan speed, ether starting aid and hydraulic pumps to adjust to any operating condition. |
|
ADEM™
The ADEM controls engine speed by adjusting the fuel duration, resulting in quicker starts in hot and cold weather, better fuel economy, better operator response, and automatic compensation for altitude and filter plugging. |
|
Air-to-Air Aftercooling (ATAAC)
Reduces air inlet temperature for enhanced combustion efficiency, reduced emissions levels, higher altitude capability, and more power. |
|
Greater Reliability
The EUI system has fewer moving parts than mechanical unit injection and requires few adjustments. ECM communicates with the monitoring system (EMS) to warn the operator of potential problems, preventing major damage from occurring. |
|
Maintenance
EUI engines have virtually no mechanically controlled parts to wear or adjust. These have been replaced by electronic controls, reducing maintenance costs and increasing machine availability. |
|
Control Throttle Shifting (CTS)
Automatically synchronizes engine speed to transmission speed when shifting gears. CTS reduces power train stress and increases component life, as well as providing a smoother ride for the operator. |
|
Automatic Ether Injection
ECM activates the ether injection system during engine cranking to help ensure reliable engine start-up in extreme cold operating conditions. |
|
Directional Shift Management
Reduces driveline torque and transmission clutch energy when attempting directional shifts or shifts from neutral during high engine rpm. This helps prevent excessive transmission wear and increases drive train life. A pressure-sequencing valve assures that the speed clutches engage before the directional clutches, to absorb most of the torque load generated in direction changes. |
|
Automatic Altitude Compensation
The ECM automatically adjusts fuel delivery according to barometric pressure as sensed by the system’s atmospheric pressure sensor. No manual adjustment is required. Auto deration prevents excessive combustion temperatures that could result in component damage. |
|
Diagnostic Capability
Electronic Technician (Cat ET) is used to display real-time pressures, temperatures, fuel settings and diagnostic messages as well as a historical information such as engine over-speeds, overheating, low oil pressure and air filter restriction events. |
|
Fuel Economy
Electronic controls yield a fuel savings by optimizing the timing setting for varying conditions. The ECM matches timing to the load on the engine, engine speed and temperature. |
|
Air Filter Restriction
The ECM monitors air filter restriction and sends a warning message to the Electronic Monitoring System III to alert the operator if the restriction exceeds the allowable limit. |
|
Reduced Exhaust Smoke
The ECM reads electronic sensors to determine the optimum fuel/air ratio, then precisely controls fuel during cranking, starting and acceleration to reduce smoke. The ECM system is faster and more efficient than mechanically controlling the governor rack position. |
|
Low Battery Elevated Idle
ECM automatically compensates for low alternator output at low idle by raising the rpm for brief intervals to keep the batteries fully charged. |
|
 | | Electronic Unit Injection (EUI)
Electronic injection provides complete control over injection timing, duration, rate and pressure under changing conditions over the entire engine operating range. The EUI controlled engine delivers:
- improved fuel efficiency
- more power
- decreased smoke and emissions
- faster hot and cold starts
- better high altitude performance
- less noise than mechanical injector engines
|
|
Engine Speed Lock
Allows the operator to maintain a given engine speed without using the accelerator pedal. This eliminates operator fatigue associated with holding the pedal down for extended periods of time. An on/off rocker switch enables the Speed Lock feature, and a lamp indicates the feature is active. Moving the rocker switch to the off position, or activating the service brakes or the retarder, disables the feature. |
|
NGMR Engine Cooling System
The standard radiator for the tractor is the Next Generation Modular Radiator (NGMR) that features 9 fins per inch, whereas the previous model had a standard radiator of 33 fins per inch. The increased radiator fin spacing reduces clogging in severe applications. |
|
Scraper Radiator
The scraper has a standard unit core radiator, a one-piece unit design with 9 fins per inch. The larger fin spacing reduces clogging and eliminates the need for an attachment radiator. |
|
Automatic Belt Tensioning
Both the tractor and scraper engines now have automatic belt tensioning rather than manual tensioning. Other improvements for both the tractor and scraper engines include:
- reducing the number of belts (from five to two on the tractor, from four to two on the scraper)
- eliminating the servicing for fan drive bearings
|
|
 | | Power Train - Transmission
Planetary powershift transmission delivers excellent load capability. Redesigned front and rear axles accommodate wider brake shoes and drums. The neutral coast inhibitor and programmable top gear reduce wear while increasing machine performance. |
|
| | Transmission
Electronically controlled Caterpillar planetary powershift transmission with eight forward and one reverse speed. Tractor gears 1 & 2 operate in converter drive for increased torque capability during cut and fill operations. Gears 3-8 operate in direct-drive for drive train efficiency during the haul. Reverse gear operates in converter drive. All scraper gears operate in converter drive for increased torque capability during the cut and fill. Gear selection choices are 1st, 2nd and Drive. The neutral lock thumb control must be pressed to move the shifter from neutral. To use the top gear button, with the engine running and the transmission shifter in “D”, the operator must hold the yellow button until the gear display on the instrument panel indicates the desired top gear. When the desired top gear appears on the display, the operator should release the yellow button to set the top gear. The top gear selected cannot exceed what is programmed into the Transmission/Chassis Control (TCC). The transmission hold switch is incorporated into the joystick controller and allows the operator to hold the machine in the current gear until the operation is completed (normally cut and/or fill). |
|
Planetary Design
Provides larger contact area between gears than countershaft transmissions for greater load-carrying capacity. |
|
Neutral Coast Inhibitor
Neutral coast inhibitor prevents the transmission from shifting into neutral if the operator selects neutral while moving, as well as maintaining the flow of the tranmsission fluid. The transmission control will select the proper gear for the given engine rpm and ground speed. |
|
Transmission Hold
Allows the operator to maintain converter drive for increased rimpull, or hold the current gear for enhanced control. |
|
Programmable Top Gear Selection
Allows the operator to manually set the top gear (3rd-8th) available to match conditions or the hauling speed of the fleet to specific job-site needs. |
|
Retarder
The hydraulic retarder acts as an internal brake on the driveline that minimizes the need to apply service brakes. By engaging the retarder 3 to 4 seconds before the machine traverses a downhill grade, the operator can reduce wear on the service brakes and enhance machine control. The retarder is located on the torque converter output shaft between the transmission and the torque converter housing. As oil enters the retarder housing it flows into the vanes of the rotor. The rotor, which turns at engine speed, throws oil against the stationary stator vanes on the retarder housing. As engine speed increases, the stator’s resistance to moving oil slows the rotation of the rotor thus slowing the machine. Optimal retarding action occurs when the engine is turning at rated rpm. |
|
Differential Control
Electronic differential lock on the tractor helps prevent the drive wheels from spinning in poor underfoot conditions. The operator engages the differential lock by choosing either the right or left foot control located on the floor of the cab. |
|
Brake Performance
Redesigned axles on both the tractor and scraper accommodate wider brake shoes and brake drums, improving brake performance as much as 20 percent. Lining Wear has improved by as much as 75 percent and drum wear has improved by 80 percent. In addition, this package can be retrofitted to prior F & G models. |
|
Independent Systems
Expanding-shoe type brakes are a cam-operated design that is air-applied and spring released. The braking system uses independent front and rear circuits, with the secondary brakes automatically applied if the service air pressure drops to 55 psi (380 kPa). Audible and visual action alert indicators inform the operator when the service air pressure drops to 75 psi (518 kPa). |
|
Parking Brakes
The push-button operated parking brake features a spring-applied, air-released mechanism that operates the service brakes. Meet the ISO 3450: 1998 standard. |
|
Final Drives
Outboard-mounted, planetary design final drives reduce torque loads on other power train components. Large-capacity, double-row roller bearings and Caterpillar Duo-Cone seals deliver exceptional reliability in the toughest applications. |
|
Electronic Controls
Electronic controls improve machine response and provide advanced diagnostic capabilities that result in better machine availability. The Product Link option allows remote monitoring of location, machine system status, and alert indicators. |
|
 | | Simplified System
The electrical system was redesigned (effective with the s/n C prefixes) to utilize three electronic control modules (ECM) on the tractor instead of the four in the previous model. The rear powered scraper has two ECMs whereas the previous model had three. In addition the cab wiring harness has been redesigned and relocated for better serviceability. The EMS III system has been redesigned to monitor both the tractor and scraper with the ability to access fault codes from one location instead of two on the previous model. Parts serviceability has been improved with the use of the ABL2CS controller on both the tractor and powered scraper. While the same part number can service the tractor or the scraper, the appropriate engine management system software will have to be downloaded. |
|
Air Filter Restrictor Indicator
Electronic control module (ECM) monitors air filter restriction and sends a warning message to the electronic monitoring system (EMS) to alert the operator if the restriction exceeds the allowable limit. |
|
Automatic Ether Injection
The ECM activates the ether injection system during engine cranking to enhance cold weather starting. |
|
Automatic Altitude Compensation
At high altitudes the system automatically de-rates fuel delivery as a function of barometric pressure sensed by the system’s atmospheric pressure sensor. |
|
Low Battery Elevated Idle
ECM automatically compensates for low alternator output at low idle by raising the rpm for brief intervals to keep the batteries fully charged. |
|
Improved Serviceability
Combined monitoring systems, easy access diagnostics and more durable components make routine maintenance and servicing simple and fast. |
|
Combined EMS Monitoring
The Electronic Monitoring System (EMS III) on the 627G is designed to monitor both the tractor and scraper status and access fault codes from one location instead of two. Both the tractor and powered scraper use the same controller for parts commonality and easier servicing. |
|
Easy Access Diagnostics
Diagnostic codes are accessible through the EMS main display module, via the Electronic Technician (Cat ET). This offers a head start on problem solving, with a radio call often providing the service technician with the knowledge of which tools, troubleshooting guides, and possibly even replacement parts to bring to the machine. |
|
Greater Reliability
The Caterpillar EUI system has fewer moving parts than mechanical unit injection and requires few adjustments. ECM communicates with the monitoring system (EMS) to warn the operator when problems arise, preventing major damage from occurring. |
|
Maintenance
EUI engines have virtually no mechanically controlled parts to wear or adjust. These have been replaced by electronic controls, reducing maintenance costs and increasing machine availability. |
|
Fuel Economy
Electronic controls yield a fuel savings by optimizing the timing setting for varying conditions. The ECM matches timing to the load on the engine, engine speed and temperature. |
|
Product Link Ready
Product Link is a wireless system that allows the customer to track machine data such as location, service meter hours as well as machine health information. The system has the capability to automatically issue alerts when the machine is being operated beyond owner defined time and location limits. |
|
Reduced Exhaust Smoke
The ECM reads electronic sensors to determine the optimum fuel/air ratio, then precisely controls fuel during cranking, starting and acceleration to reduce smoke. The ECM system is faster and more efficient than mechanically controlling the governor rack position. |
|
 | | Operator Station
Convenient control placement and a comfortable work environment are keys to high productivity. Features include Single Lever Implement Control, an air seat suspension and improved instrumentation. |
|
| | Multi-Adjustable Seat
The Cat Comfort Cloth Seat has an adjustable seat and armrests for maximum operator comfort. - Swivels and locks in four positions (0º, 10°, 20° and 30º) providing the optimum operating position in the cut or on the haul.
- Fore/aft and vertical height adjustment to accommodate various sized operators.
|
|
| | Seat Suspension
The seat suspension redefines the ride of scrapers. It features a high performance air shock absorber with its own air compressor. |
|
Revised Steering Column
Increases legroom a full 3.5 inches (89 mm), and reduces knee contact points. |
|
Standard Air Conditioning
Gives the operator a comfortable workstation in any kind of weather. Relocated ventilation louvers improve airflow to the operator. |
|
Storage And Amenities
Convenient storage location includes space for a lunch box and first aid kit. The cab also has a cup holder as well as an ashtray. |
|
Visibility
Hood and front shroud width increased to accommodate the low emission engine, the air-to-air aftercooler (ATAAC), ether starting aid, and lights. Hood corners are sloped to maintain the same level of visibility as the E-Series. |
|
 | | Single Lever Implement Control
Simple and easy to operate, the joystick enhances the productivity of operators of all skill levels. Requires less force to control the critical scraper functions and requires less lever travel. Grab handle/hand rest next to joystick controller so operator has a place to rest hand while on the haul and return roads.
1) Bowl (forward & back)
2) Ejector (side to side)
3) Thumb rocker switch
- Apron position
- Elevator direction, speed
4) Transmission Hold
5) Cushion Hitch
6) Trigger* (not shown here - is on front of joystick)
- Auger (on/off)
- Push-Pull (bail up/down)
- Elevator (on/off, resume)
* Standard open bowl does not have a trigger
The joystick control system allows the operator to control the machine without removing their hand from the joystick. Both operator effort and stick travel have been reduced. These features, combined with the enhanced seating positions provided with the new Cat Contour Series Seat, help reduce operator fatigue and increase productivity. The joystick controller uses a combination of hydraulic and electronic controls, allowing the joystick functions to be tailored to the machine. |
|
Instrument Display Panel
Features a quad-gauge layout showing engine coolant temp, transmission/torque converter oil temp, fuel level, and system air pressure. For 627G tandem engine machines, the tachometer is selectable to enable in-cab monitoring of front and rear engine speeds. Once the 627G tractor engine has been started, the operator can start the rear engine using a switch on the instrument panel instead of having to exit the cab and start the scraper engine from the outside. The electronic monitoring system (EMS) can display both front and rear engine information right in the cab. |
|
Logical Control Placement
Frequently used switches and indicator lights are on the instrument panel, and less frequently used switches on the overhead console. |
|
Engine Speed Lock Controller
Enhances operation during long haul cycles by allowing the operator to maintain a desired engine speed without constant pressure on the accelerator. An alternate-action on/off rocker switch enables the Throttle Lock feature, and is disabled by moving the rocker switch to the off position or by activating the service brakes or the retarder. A lamp indicates the feature is active. |
|
Simplified Transmission Control
Simplifies gear selection and provides operator-defined top gear control. Forward gear selection choices are 1, 2, and D (Drive). The transmission control lever was moved to accommodate the more frequently used single-lever implement control. By relocating the gear control to the rear position on the right hand side of the operator’s station it increased legroom for the operator, resulting in a more spacious cab. The neutral lock thumb control must be pressed to move the shifter from neutral. To use the top gear button, with the engine running and the transmission shifter in “D”, the operator must hold the yellow button until the gear display on instrument panel indicates the desired top gear. When the desired top gear appears on the display, the operator then releases the yellow button and the top gear is set. The top gear selected cannot exceed what is programmed into the EPTC II transmission control unit. |
|
 | | Structures
Superior structural design delivers state-of-the-art ride, capacity, and material control while assuring the durability and reliability customers expect from Caterpillar. |
|
Cushion Hitch
The electrically actuated cushion hitch incorporates a parallelogram-type linkage for exceptional strength and delivers a smooth ride for enhanced operator comfort. Nitrogen accumulators absorb and dampen road shocks so they are not transmitted to the operator. An operator selectable lockout switch located on the joystick locks the cushion hitch for improved cutting edge control during loading and dumping. Cushion Hitch Features:
- controlled oil flow dampens rebound oscillation
- leveling valve automatically centers piston in cylinder for all loads
- steel castings are used extensively to eliminate many welded joints and increase strength
- double-kingbolt design withstands high external forces and simplifies installation and removal
|
|
Nitrogen Accumulators
Vertically mounted hydraulic cylinder transfers road shocks to nitrogen accumulators. Nitrogen accumulators absorb and dampen road shocks, thus preventing these loads from being transmitted to the operator. |
|
 | | Lockout Switch
An operator-selectable lockout switch, located on the joystick, locks the cushion hitch for improved control of the cutting edge during loading and dumping. |
|
 | | Scraper Bowl
Caterpillar Scraper bowls deliver large loads with better retention, excellent material flow, fast cycle times and high productivity. Relocating the implement valve to the draft tube improves access and serviceability. |
|
Redesigned Bowl
Excellent productivity with a 10% increase in bowl capacity, improved draft arm protection, and better load retention. Low-profile design of the bowl offers less resistance to incoming materials, while cellular construction adds strength and dent resistance to bowl sides and floor. |
|
Bulldozer Ejection System
Combines constant spreading control while minimizing carryback material. A spill guard on the ejector (standard on 627G) helps retain material and keep it from spilling over onto the rear of the scraper. |
|
Cutting Edges
May be adjusted according to job conditions. The stinger (drop down) position provides good penetration and efficient flow of material into the bowl whereas the level cutting edge is used for finish work. For most efficient loading, use the thinnest edge that provides satisfactory wear life and impact resistance. |
|
Caterpillar Ground Engaging Tools (GET)
A wide variety of Ground Engaging Tool (GET) options, such as standard, serrated, and abrasion resistant material (ARM), are available to optimize scraper loading in various materials. Most are reversible to provide long life and reduced operating costs. Contact your Cat Dealer to learn more about the best tools for your applications. ARM scraper cutting edges and router bits will provide up to five times the wear life of conventional edges and router bits in high wear, low impact applications. Depending on applications, the serrated cutting edge may be more cost effective than the integrated tooth cutting edge. Drop Down position (stinger) provides good penetration and efficient flow of material into the bowl for production applications. a) Standard Cutting Edges - Center, End & Router Bits b) Serrated Cutting Edge - Center, Standard End Edges & Standard Router Bits c) ARM Cutting Edges - Center, End & Router Bits d) ARM Serrated Cutting Edge- Center, End, & Router Bits Level cutting edge is used for finish work or for very high impact conditions where stinger breakage has been a problem: Standard Cutting Edges - Center, End & Router Bits Teeth and Adapters improve penetration into compacted material. The bolt-on adapters are available for all scrapers. |
|
Tandem Engines
Two engines ensure the power to handle steep grades, and makes possible all wheel drive to handle soft, slippery underfoot conditions. |
|
Dual Horsepower
Provides increased horsepower during the haul which results in faster cycle times. |
|
Material Application
Well suited to handle a wide variety of material from clay to shot rock. |
|
 | | Optional Push-Pull Arrangement
For maximum production capability, Caterpillar offers an optional push-pull arrangement for the 627G, which allows two push-pull scrapers to act as a self-loading machine. |
|
Push-Pull Attachments
The optional push-pull arrangement, which concentrates the combined horsepower of two machines onto one cutting edge, is available for the 627G. The push-pull attachments, the bail on the front and the hook on the rear, allow two individual machines to act as a self-loading machine. Typically push-pull machines can load in less than a minute. |
|
Hydraulically Actuated Bail
The push-pull arrangement features a hydraulically actuated bail and cushioned plate, which are bolted to the front of the tractor, and a hook that is attached to the rear of the scraper. Working together, push-pull scrapers can provide the lowest cost per ton for many applications. |
|
Increased Production
As the lead machine enters the cut, the trailing machine lowers the bail on the hook of the first machine. The second machine then pushes the first machine until it is loaded. At that time, the second machine begins its loading cycle and the first machine pulls the second machine until it is loaded. After both machines are loaded, the second machine raises its bail and disengages from the first machine. |
|
Flexible Fleet
Push-pull scrapers are an example of self-loading scrapers that typically have low costs per yard (meter). The push-pull arrangement is recommended for applications that require a large amount of material to be moved very quickly at low cost per bank cubic yard (bank cubic meter). This system provides a more balanced, flexible fleet using fewer machines and less investment than comparable self-loading or push-loading systems. |
|
 | | Auger Arrangement
Provides self-loading capability with the same wide material appetite as an open bowl machine. |
|
Versatility
The auger has a wide material appetite ranging from rock to free flowing material such as sand. The auger lifts material off of the cutting edge, conditions it, and spreads it evenly in the bowl for true self-loading capability. |
|
Material Conditioning
As the auger carries material from the cutting edge to the top of the load, it conditions the material into uniform size which helps eliminate voids in the bowl, thus ensuring consistent payloads. Conditioned material also requires less compactive force in the fill. In applications where dust is a concern, the auger has demonstrated that it significantly minimizes dust while loading when compared to the elevator loading system. |
|
Auger Benefits
The auger actions on the material produce several benefits:
- wide material appetite, ideal for landfills
- blending material creates a consistent, well-mixed load
- conditioned material reduces voids in the bowl for larger, more consistent payloads, and promotes compaction in the fill
- reduces dust and noise during loading
- precise metering of material in the fill
|
|
Dual Horsepower
Tractor engine automatically reverts to the higher setting when the auger motor is engaged. |
|
Slip Limiter Switch
Prevents rear wheel slip during loading. |
|
Hydraulic System
Single hydraulic system for entire machine with separate implement pumps/valves simplifies maintenance and improves reliability. |
|
Apron
revents material spillage and retains fine material far better than an elevating scraper. |
|
 | | Serviceability
The latest electronic monitoring systems, grouped service points, and rugged Caterpillar components simplify maintenance and minimize downtime. New two-piece access doors open easily and stay open for better access. |
|
 | | Grouped Service Points
Maintenance and service points for the engine are grouped on the right-hand side for easy access. They include the engine air cleaner, engine oil check and fill, fuel filters and priming, coolant level sight glass, window washer bottle, air conditioning dryer cartridge, ether starting aid canister, engine oil filter, fan drive lubrication, and sampling ports for the engine oil and coolant.
- Spin-on fluid filters for all but the main hydraulic filter
- Cab wiring harness redesigned and relocated for better serviceability
|
|
Electronic Monitoring System (EMS III)
Monitors machine status and provides real-time information to the operator including warnings of problems identified by the Electronic Control Modules. |
|
| | Event Log
The EMS event log records problems detected by the control system, including the time an event occurs, the number of occurrences for the event, an event identifier and problem code. The event log can be accessed using the Electronic Technician (ET). |
|
Implement Valve Relocation
The implement valve has been relocated from the tractor to the top of scraper draft tube, reducing the number of hoses and tubes that cross over the gooseneck. The move reduces potential leak points, and improves service access. |
|
One Piece Power Block
Jumpstart receptacle and disconnect switch are integrated into a one-piece power block for better electrical integrity and serviceability. The disconnect switch, with a lockable cover, disables all power from the batteries and jumpstart functions. |
|
Electro-Hydraulic Implement Control
Simplifies serviceability by removing the cab pilot valve and associated lines, which also improves reliability and reduces noise. The high efficiency electro-hydraulic pilot oil filter provides cleaner oil for the pilot system. |
|
Scraper Electrical Harness
A ribbon wiring harness replaced the cable harness for improved wear and durability. Its increased flexibility oscillates with the machine, and polyurethane boots offer better protection against the elements. |
|
Access Doors
The tractor has a standard two-piece door on the right side for better access to service points. The hood, hinged on the front and supported by spring struts, easily opens towards the front of the machine, for better access to the top of the engine. |
|
Electronic Technician (Cat ET)
The Caterpillar Electronic Technician (Cat ET) Service Tool is useful in troubleshooting existing problems or identifying potential problems by displaying: - Real-time pressures, temperatures, fuel settings and diagnostic messages
