Youtube Control System MC3
Mählers’ new Control system MC3
Mählers new MC3 proportional control system was developed for softer, safer control and better fingertip feel when ploughing, grading, salting, gritting or controlling tipper beds on trucks and trailers.
The MC3 is a proportional control system, which allows variable control of all ploughing equipment. The software in the MC3 supports the control of other types of functions such as tipper bed etc. Selecting a variable (load sensing) pump for the truck brings advantages such as:
• Easy hydraulics installation
• Economically favourable installation thanks to fewer valves
• More economical operation (lower energy consumption)
The control system is also built for remote support connection via the mobile network to receive technical support, regardless of the customer’s location.
Control of the plough and other equipment takes place via MIG2, an ergonomic, multiple-function joystick with proportionally controlled rollers for maximum precision. The joystick and keypad are also fitted with a number of on/off buttons for activating ploughs, grader blades and tipper functions etc.
MC3 software support and updates are possible via the Mählers Control System 3 app. Download the Mählers MC3 app from Google Play to an android smartphone for subsequent connection to the control system via Bluetooth. The customer can then ring support, who in turn can connect to MC3. Support is then able to make adjustments, switch or change software updates, review any fault codes etc., no matter where the truck is located.
This will save many unnecessary trips to the workshop. The MC3 was field-tested by customers in Sweden and Norway with good results and is available for order as of Spring 2019. The MC3 also meets the latest leading machine safety standard EN ISO 13849, which makes it one of the market’s safest control systems for road maintenance products.
