AGCO/Fendt Undertakes in Germany his greater investment

With the extension of the installations of Marktoberdorf and Asbach-Bäumenheim of AGCO/Fendt, the society matrix AGCO, has undertaken the one who is up to now the project of investment of elder envergadura realised, Fendt ahead², that rises to 300 million American dollars. His official inauguration was to the height of the circumstances. They attended to the important appointment German personalities, as Horst Seehofer, prime minister of Baviera, as well as some 3.500 providers, commercial partners, journalists and professional of Germany and of the whole world. All they, between which found Interempresas, could see the factory and do an idea of how is the new final setting. They did not be missing, as it is usual in one of the main manufacturers of tractors, numerous shows, presentations and interesting informations.

The new factory, as it has said , is not only the extension of the productive capacities. This project called Fendt ahead² has gone much more far and has looked for the maximum productivity, for which has resorted to methods of intelligent production, looking for also the greater possible flexibility.

In the new factory of tractors of AGCO/Fendt, all the series of tractors find in an only line of setting, from the tractor trucks specialist smaller for the viticulture until the biggest tractor of 390 CV. Each tractor states like average of some 10.000 components that have to arrive to the strip of setting of coordinated and orderly form. Thanks to the big versatilidad of products and variants of Fendt, this allows individualizar the tractor that it treat in accordance with the specific demands of the customer.

The central point of the project Fendt ahead² in the installations of Asbach-Bäumenheim is the new pavilion of setting and logistical, and from him put in practice the demands of the customers of Marktoberdorf. The cabins mount in the same sequence that in Marktoberdorf in the corresponding tractors according to the commission of the customer and send directly in the correct sequence. The processes of logistics highly complexes control through systems SAP intelligent.

Previously the gross material delivered in shape of tubes, profiles and sheets processes with the new technologies, like the platform or the laser of 5 axles. In the 5.000 m² of the installations of Asbach-Bäumenheim created already in 2010 a pavilion for the new zone of welding of the cabin. With 18 robots sueldan, among others, the cabins VisioPlus for the 500 and the 700 Miscellaneous, as well as the big cabins confort Fendt for the series 800 and 900 Miscellaneous, of qualitative form and automated.

As it could not be of another way, wanted to take advantage of the importance of the inaugural acts to endow to the same of more content, presenting novelties. They stand out the four new models of the series 500 Miscellaneous, with which Fendt enters a class of vehicles totally new in the field of the compact standard tractors. These tractors offer an up to now reserved technology to the tractors of upper class.

The new series 500 Miscellaneous, with the models 512 Miscellaneous, 513 Miscellaneous, 514 Miscellaneous and 516 Miscellaneous, covers the rank comprised between 125 and 165 CV. The new tractors 500 Miscellaneous achieve his strength of an engine Deutz of 4 cylinders and 4 valves by cylinder, with 4,04 litres of cilindrada and injection Common-Rail, as well as a maximum power of 165 CV in the model crashes 516 Miscellaneous. Besides, the series 500 Miscellaneous also incorporates the technology SCR of saving of fuel, what has by object fulfil the phase 3b of the rule on broadcasts (Tier IV provisional).

The neutral proofs Powermix of the 800 and 900 Miscellaneous have showed of irrefutable form that this technology, known of the series of tractors 700, 800 and 900 Miscellaneous, attains a saving of fuel very significant. Like this, with a consumption of 240 g/kWh, the 936 Miscellaneous has reached a never achieved value up to now in the proofs Powermix of the DLG. Like the postratamiento of the gases of leakage with the solution of urea AdBlue takes place after the process of combustion and does not produce an external recirculation of said gases, the engine can adjust of optimum form and, of this form, apart from achieving a saving in the consumption of fuel, also attains a behaviour during the most efficient driving and satisfactory. The motors of the new 500 Miscellaneous combine like this a consumption of fuel extremely low with an enormous capacity of performance. In this way, now the 500 Miscellaneous represents equally the effective technology of Fendt.

The efficient driving achieves thanks to the degree of efficiency of the accredited Miscellaneous transmission ML 90. The adjust continuous of the speed offers enormous potentials of saving of time and money. With the system of gestión of the tractor TMS, the tractor works always with the maximum profitability. The driver only has to specify the speed wished and, once activated, the system TMS assumes the control of the engine and of the transmission with a totally automatic efficiency. Another novelty of the 500 Miscellaneous is the automatic regulation of loads it limit.

On the other hand, the new cabin VisioPlus of Fendt, known of the series of tractors 700 Miscellaneous, offers the maximum confort and an excellent visibility.

With the new terminal Miscellaneous incorporate in this segment of power elements like the Variotronic, the system of guided VarioGuide, the function of camera and the system of documentation VarioDoc, as well as the control of aperos ISOBUS. Thanks to the system of guided automatic VarioGuide is possible to work with the tractor day and night without fatigarse during long periods of time and concentrate fully in the apero.

Together with the 500 Miscellaneous showed the new loaders Profi, with which can realise functions totally new. It bases in the frontal loaders Charge that already has tested and recognised in the market. Thanks to the additional sensors installed in the swing 4 or 5 X can incorporate , for example, a new function of heavy and memorisation.

AGCO/Fendt Also presented the cosechadora of the new series C (5275 C, 5275 C PL, 6335 C, 6335 C PL), which will be available for the season of harvest 2013. The cosechadora gathers the accredited technologies of system of trilla, the technology SCR of saving of fuel and the singular system of nivelación of slopes ParaLevel with a new and innovative concept of use. Like this, this manufacturer of agricultural machinery also opens ways totally new in the field of the cosechadoras.

The new series C achieves his strength of the engine of 6 cylinders AGCO Sisu Power, that is instrumented with the technology SCR of saving of fuel. With a cilindrada of 8,4 or 7,4 litres, a system of injection of high pressesure CommonRail and four valves by cylinder, provides a maximum power of 360 CV (6335 C, 6335 C PL, included Power Boost) or 276 CV (5275 C, 5275 C PL). Fendt No only bets by the low consumption during the utilisation, but also during the course by road. Like this, the cosechadoras circulate during the transport with a maximum speed of 20 km/h to a diet reduced of the engine, with the consequent saving of fuel.

Another interesting novelty was the picadora Katana 65, that also follows the philosophy “more with less”: more efficiency, more performance, more power using less resources like fuel and insumos. Besides, the picadora surprises by his big manoeuvrability and the excellent quality of the product hammered. Fendt Opens ways totally new with the innovative triturador with disks in V.

The Katana 65 of Fendt, with 650 CV of power, obtains his power of an engine V8 of 16 litres of the house Mercedes-Benz, including the technology SCR of saving of fuel. The Katana 65 of Fendt no only seats new bases with the drum of hammered of 720 mm of diameter, at present the biggest of the market, but Fendt also surprises with the inventive construction of the triturador with disks in V: thanks to the utilisation of individual disks in shape of V that mesh between yes in two cylinders synchronised, the length of slot of the triturador has increased more than the double that the one of the cylinders trituradores conventional. Likewise, the disks can substitute of individual way as it was necessary. The peripheral speeds in the interior and in the outside vary because of the mesh of the disks. This does that the grains of corn bump with great efficiency and care.

No less interesting for the assistants were the proofs that showed the system GuideConnect. Although the systems of guided automatic for individual tractors already form part of the standard equipment, the development in this area orients , between other things, to systems that communicate and cooperate between himself. Fendt Investigates of form very intense in this area and, thus, has developed GuideConnect. With this system two tractors combine in an alone unit by means of a navigation by satellite and a wireless connection, so that one of the vehicles can realise the same process of work that the another, but without driver. That is to say, it allows to work with two tractors and an alone driver.
