BENEFITS & FEATURES
Cat C7 Engine with ACERT™ Technology


Cat C7 Engine with ACERT Technology
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.

HEUI Fuel Injection
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
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
High cylinder pressures combined with tightly controlled tolerances promote extremely efficient fuel burn, less blow-by and lower emissions.

C7 Cylinder Block
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.

Sound Reduction Features
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.

Service, Maintenance and Repair
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.

Turbocharged and Air-To-Air Aftercooling (ATAAC)
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.

ADEM™ A4 Electronic Control Module
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.

Dual Operator Stations


Dual Operator Stations
The dual operator stations incorporate fully equipped consoles with adjustable suspension seats, armrests and retractable seat belts.

Operator Visibility
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.

Operator Consoles


Operator Consoles
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.

Speed Control Dial
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.

Center Control Console
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.

Machine Controller
The machine controller integrates performance functions and allows the feeder and auger speeds to be set independently which extends component life.

Exclusive Material Delivery System


Mix Delivery
The BG-260D provides precise mix delivery with minimal operator monitoring through the most advanced material handling system.

Feeders Controlled Independently
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.

Mix Delivery Control
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.

Ratio Control
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.

Gateless Feeders


Gateless Feeders Run Full of Mix
The gateless feeders on the BG-260D 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.

Changes in Feeder Speed
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 Lower Speeds
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.

Wheel Undercarriage System


Excellent Mobility
The sharp turning radius and high speeds allow the paver to move quickly around the job site.

Three Propel Modes
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.

Front Wheel Assist (Optional)
The front wheel assist feature provides power to the rear bogey wheels for additional tractive effort.

Long Wheel Base
The long wheel base provides good tractive effort and stability on soft base materials.

Hydrostatic Drive System


Closed-Loop Hydrostatic Propel System
The closed-loop system automatically compensates for component wear, hydraulic oil temperature and oil viscosity changes to ensure complete, low-effort, operator control.

Propulsion Control
The machine controller provides accurate control of steering and propulsion systems and ensures straight-line tracking.

Dual-Path Steering
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.

Two Speed Planetary Drive
A fixed displacement motor drives a two speed planetary providing quick mobility around the job site.

High Ambient Temperature Cooling System


Airflow
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.

High Capacity Cooling Package
The high capacity cooling system allows the fan to run slower, reducing power demand while extending component life.
