MBD analysis on Backhoe loaders

MBD analysis on Backhoe loaders

Stability calculations on a rail-borne backhoe equipped with both a lifting arm and a passenger basket. The calculations aimed to define a safe working area while operating the two arms so that the stability of the machine is not compromised and it risks tipping over.

Solution

Customer benefit

With the help of the analyses, safe limits for the movement range of the lifting arms could be defined. The results of the calculations allowed the necessary safety instructions to be drawn up and contributed to the machine's approval for use.
 
The next step could be to integrate the calculation results as well as some load and position sensors to the machine's control system and in this way ensure that the machine is always used within its stability limitation.
