Liebherr Mining Assistance Systems
The Best Performance. Easy.
Available today inside the R 9600, the Liebherr Assistance Systems are advanced onboard applications designed to support operators to become more efficient through analytics and actionable insights from live data. It will help the operator to get optimal productivity and efficiency by providing realtime operational datas.
Truck Loading Assistant
Assists the operator to obtain target truck payloads.
- Measures instantaneously the bucket payload
- Provides real-time information to the operator
- Strategizes the number of passes required
- Computes the best truck loading strategy
- Automatic truck recognition (optional)
Customer advantages:
- 99% measurement accuracy
- Increase in operational and instanteneous productivity and increased truck fill factors
Performance Monitoring Assistant
Measures and analyzes the overall performance.
Using KPIs, histograms and time-related charts
- Production indicators
- Loading indicators
- Time distribution
- Powertrain energy efficiency
Customer advantages:
- Understand operational performance
- Make operational decisions based on KPIs
Application Severity Assistant
Quantifies application, reports severity indicators and provides an Overall Application Severity score (TRC).
KPIs to indicate and display the application as sensed by the machine.
- Underfoot and digging conditions
- Abrasiveness and travel ratio
- Engine load factor and temperature variation
- Machine inclination, loading, etc.
Customer advantages:
- Understand your application
- Graphical interface
Operational Conformance Assistant
Detects and counts events to improve operator effectiveness.
Several filtering criterias to identify specific events.
- Swinging into digging face
- Digging with swing brake activated
- Turning the machine with the attachment
- Bucket hitting track pads, etc.
Customer advantages:
- Increase machine operational safety, machine lifetime & availability
- Helps understanding reasons for downtimes or delays
Bucket Filling Assistant
First automation product of the Liebherr hydraulic excavator portfolio, this combination of two innovative engineering developments is an optional feature that allows easier bucket filling and consistent bucket fill factor, especially in blocky or hard digging conditions. As a result overall productivity improves while operator's fatigue decreases.
Anti-Stalling Function: Prevents the bucket from being stalled during the digging phase.
Semi-Automatic Bucket Filling Function: Allows the operator to realize the bucket filling process automatically.
- Less operator fatigue
- Increased productivity
- Better fill-factor
- Continuous efficiency
High Performance Execution
Thanks to its innovative attachment solution improving cost per tonne, maximizing machine productivity and improving component lifetime, Liebherr redefines performance standards in the 600t class.
- Use of smart components design to reduce weight, improve bucket protection and increase digging forces:
When mining applications become demanding, Liebherr attachment solutions provide best in class fatigue resistance and productivity. Using hollow pins and aluminium covers on all attachment points, Liebherr engineers are able to install bigger buckets, which enable higher performances.
Maximized payload
Designed for best force distribution, the tailored attachment design delivers high digging and lifting forces, which ensures maximum payload during each cycle. But by optimizing the bucket shape and reducing the bearing block, Liebherr has engineered a patented bucket design to improve productivity without impacting cycle time or fuel consumption.
The EVO bucket allows the operator to take advantage of each pass and therefore increase productivity.
- Increased Productivity up to +15%
- Better Loading Capacity +5%
- Weight Optimization -10%
- Reduced Maintenance
Optimized cost per ton
- Simplified design
- Less internal reinforcement plates
- Reduced stress levels and better stress distribution
- Weight optimized hydraulic cylinders
- Shift lever with integrated greasing system
- Protected grease manifolds
Built to outperform all competitors in the 600t class, Liebherr offers the best durability by creating a brand new machine and components to deliver state-of-the-art capabilities and reliability.
Shovel truck match
Liebherr Power Efficiency
Use only the power and the hydraulic flow you require
Specific engine and hydraulic management, drastically reducing fuel consumption.
- Maximize hydraulic efficiency
- Reduce hydraulic throttling and load profile of the engine for increased component lifetime
Safety & Serviceability
The R 9600 provides safe machine accessibility and wide catwalks for inspection.
The uppercarriage has been designed for easier maintenance and quicker service. The central service area provides the staff accessibility to all features, which reduces potential downtimes. Refill and drain points of the R 9600 are well accessible from the ground with fast couplings and depressuraized valves.
Diverse powertrain offering
The R 9600 can be fitted with different powertrain options:
- Diesel: 2x QSK50 Cummins - 2,500 kW / 3,350 HP
- Diesel: 2x D9812 Liebherr – 2,700 kW / 3,620 HP
- Electric: 2,400 kW / 3,220 HP
Diesel drive: US EPA Tier 4f / EU Stage V
Using Selective Catalytic Reduction system to comply with latest emission regulations the R 9600 combines flexibility and productivity to meet customer expectations without compromising productivity and impact on the environment.
Electric drive
The electric drive system is an efficient alternative to diesel engines allowing less vibrations, lower maintenance costs and less noise pollutions. With high motor efficiency, electric drive option gives maximum performance even in cold climate conditions.
- No gas emissions on job site
- Lower maintenance costs
- Multiple voltage on request
