Operator Station Steering and Implement Controls Structures, Drawbar, Circle, Moldboard The 16M frame provides a solid working platform, and the DCM delivers service ease and precise blade control for maximum productivity. 8 A technologically advanced cab, featuring Two joysticks offer precise control joystick controls, provides unmatched and unparalleled ease of operation. 4 This advanced technology makes the 16M the most operator-friendly motor grader in the world. 6 Integrated Electronic Solutions Full systems integration with advanced electronics including Cat® Messenger, AccuGradeTM blade control system and Cat ET, create a "Smart Machine" that optimizes performance and availability. [. . . ] This standard feature optimizes rimpull for all gears by balancing traction, speed and horsepower while conserving fuel. The system limits horsepower in lower gears, which helps reduce wheel slip where traction is limited. With the Variable Horsepower Plus (VHP Plus) option, an additional five-horsepower is delivered in each forward gear 5th through 8th for more power at higher speeds. Performance. The Cat C13 engine meets specific performance requirements for 16M applications. Its superior torque and lugging capability can pull through sudden, short-term increases in loads, maintaining consistent, desirable grading speeds to get the work done faster without downshifting. The hydraulic demand fan automatically adjusts cooling fan speed according to engine cooling requirements. This system reduces demands on the engine, putting more horsepower to the ground and improving fuel efficiency. EPA Tier 3 and European Union Stage IIIa emissions control standards. ACERTTM Technology. ACERT Technology allows Cat engines to supply more power per unit of displacement without causing premature wear. This breakthrough technology reduces emissions during the combustion process by using advanced technology in the air and fuel systems, in conjunction with integrated electronics. ACERT Technology enhances overall engine performance while dramatically reducing exhaust emissions. Fuel Delivery. The C13 engine with ACERT Technology uses multiple injection fuel delivery to precisely shape the combustion cycle. Several small ignitions lower combustion chamber temperatures, generates fewer emissions and optimizes fuel combustion. The three-phase compression brake enables higher travel speeds downhill, while reducing wear on brake components. This improves overall productivity and lowers maintenance costs. 12 Hydraulics The 16M electro-hydraulics enable advanced machine controls with precise and predictable movements. Balanced Flow. Hydraulic flow is proportioned to ensure all implements operate simultaneously with little effect on the engine or implement speeds. If demand exceeds pump capacity, all cylinder velocities are reduced by the same ratio. PPPC valves have different flow rates for the head (red) and rod (blue) ends of the cylinder. This ensures consistent extension and retraction speeds for each cylinder, and gives the operator a consistent and predictable response every time an implement control is moved. Advanced Electro-Hydraulic System. This technology is the foundation for revolutionary changes of the machine and implement controls. Advanced joystick controls provide unmatched controllability with precise, predictable hydraulic movements and the reliability you expect from Caterpillar. Blade float is built into the blade lift control valves and is optional for some auxiliary hydraulic functions. [. . . ] The 16M extended service intervals, such as 500-hour engine oil changes and 4, 000-hour hydraulic oil changes, reduce machine service time and increase availability. Conveniently located ecology drains shorten service times and help keep the environment safe by preventing spills. Diagnostics and Monitoring. The 16M integrates Cat Messenger, Cat Electronic Technician and S·O·SSM Sampling ports for easy monitoring and fast troubleshooting, keeping your machine up and running.
