Active Control Technology

Through the years HKX has continually brought new attachment control technology to the marketplace. In 2003, we introduced our Proportional Joystick which also included the ability to adjust oil flow settings from the cab. Since then we have added electronic oil direction (EFS) and oil pressure (EPS) control from the cab. These technologies not only offer advanced capabilities, they also increase productivity and safety by keeping the operator in the cab.

The new Active Control Technology (ACT) integrates all the before-mentioned technologies as well as supporting components like quick couplers (ACT ^QC), 2 pump merge and accumulators, all from an in-cab monitor.

The ACT system offers up to 50 different programmable attachments giving your excavator(s) the flexibility to do practically any job. With the push of a button, ACT automatically adjusts the machine’s parameters to match the selected attachment’s specs. This in turn, ensures optimum performance while drastically reducing setup time.

The graphical and intuitive ACT monitor may be programmed to include your attachment's specific operation guides and safety precautions. By promoting proper attachment operation, ACT can reduce the possibility of personnel injury and equipment damage.

ACT can extend the life of your equipment by recording precise attachment operation hours and/or cycles in the monitor’s memory which can then be utilized for maintenance scheduling, warranty purposes and rental revenue.
