A developmental prototype of the new Amkodor FH3081 timber harvester has successfully completed the first scheduled field trials in a forestry enterprise in Minsk District, representatives of the Belarusian mechanical engineering company Amkodor told BelTA.

According to the source, the heavy timber harvester is designed to cut down trees, which trunks can be up to 75cm thick, and crosscut logs into timber assortments of specific sizes. The new machine has been made specifically for timber harvesting operations in Russia and other promising regions where tree trunks boast considerable thickness.

The developmental prototype will continue trials in forestry enterprises in Belarus first and in forestry enterprises in Russia in April. Based in Russia’s Republic of Karelia, OOO Amkodor-Onego will take care of the batch production of the Amkodor FH3081 timber harvester.

According to Amkodor representatives, the new harvester is a cutting-edge machine that meets international standards in operational safety, ergonomics, fire safety, and modern requirements in the sphere of environmental protection. It implements all the best engineering solutions Amkodor has come up with since it started making machines for the forestry industry.

Amkodor FH3081 relies on an 8×8 wheel formula. The driving axles can be blocked and removable tracks can be attached to increase the vehicle’s off-road capability. All the systems, including the 300hp YaMZ-536 engine, are fitted with electronic controls. The driver’s cab offers increased comfort. The vehicle can operate in frosty weather – the engine is designed to start in air temperatures below zero and the fuel line can be heated. The performance of the new model exceeds that of Amkodor FH3081’s predecessors by a third. It is the key advantage of the new vehicle.

Founded in 1927, the holding company Amkodor produces 125 models and modifications of vehicles, machines, and equipment. The company employs more than 6,000 specialists. All its enterprises are integrated into one technological chain. Every constituent enterprise specializes in making specific parts and units for other enterprises of the company. The holding company constantly designs new models and improves existing ones.

Tigercat allies with CM Labs for harvester and forwarder training simulators. CM Labs Simulations, the developer of Vortex® training simulators, has entered into a partnership agreement with leading forestry equipment manufacturer Tigercat Industries, headquartered in Brantford, Ontario, Canada. Under this agreement, CM Labs will develop and supply Tigercat with a series of state-of-the-art simulators that replicate the functionality and behavior of the 20-tonne Tigercat 1075C log forwarder and the Tigercat 1165 mid-sized wheel harvester. The forwarder is designed for demanding, high-production cut-to-length applications, while the Tigercat 1165 mid-sized wheel harvester is used for selective cut and final fell harvesting operations. Using simulators for training on these complex vehicles ensures risk-free, safe training for operators and decreases training time and costs, freeing up actual equipment for its work on the job site. “We are excited about this project because we’ve been able to integrate the PLCs of the forwarder and the harvester into our simulators,” said CM Labs Product Manager Julien Lanciault-Richer. “This is because Vortex enables the machine controllers to talk to our software.” One of the advantages of the machine controls on the simulator being identical to the actual equipment controls is that the operator will be completely at ease once he transitions from training. “This increases key learnings for the operator—and is safer from an operations perspective,” added Lanciault-Richer. In addition, both dealers and operators can be trained on new technology or functions available on their equipment. “We are delighted with CM Labs’ offer—in particular that they could bring our machine controls into the simulators,” said Tigercat’s VP of Engineering Jon Cooper. “The machine behaviour was just what we were looking for, along with the company’s innovative technology and its clear knowledge of the PLC for adaptability and evolution as we go forward. CM Labs will deliver a series of simulators to Tigercat, powered by smart training technology. Each will have three screens and a motion platform. “Our long-term vision is to work with CM Labs to support our training and sales—and to complete our cut-to-length portfolio with other simulators,” Cooper added. The partnership between CM Labs and Tigercat also involves co-marketing activities where the two companies will promote the use of simulators for safe and effective training and explore innovation in simulation for the forestry industry. The first of these activities is a forestry event hosted by CM Labs on February 18, 2020.
