- The transmission in the D6R Series III is an Electronic Clutch Pressure Control (ECPC)power shift transmission. This transmission is similar to that used in the D6R Series IITrack-type Tractor, but the new common top pressure strategy eliminates the need toperform clutch engagement pressure calibrations.

- The D6R Series III is now available with differential steering only. Finger Tip Controlsteering is no longer available. The "one pump," mechanically operated differentialsteering system is unchanged from the D6R Series II.

- The power train in the D6R Series III has also been improved. Power train oil filterchange frequency intervals have increased from 500 hours to 1000 hours, due to increasedfilter capacity. The common top pressure strategy for the power train eliminates severalcalibrations for the transmission and the brakes. The priority valve has been eliminatedand an accumulator has been added to the transmission charging circuit. Remote pressuretest ports have been added for most all of the power train pressures, improvingserviceability.

- The implement hydraulic system is nearly identical to the D6R Series II machine.However, if the machine is ordered with the AccuGrade Ready Option (ARO), all of thedozer blade functions are EH controlled. The new hydraulic oil tank now contains areturn oil filter and a case drain filter. The EH pilot manifold for blade angle control hasbeen relocated to the forward compartment on the right fender.

- The cooling system on the D6R Series III has also changed. The AMOCS radiator coreshave been upgraded to the new high-performance cores. The machine comes standardwith a direct drive belt driven fan, but may be ordered with an electrohydraulic demandfan, or with a Flexxaire fan. The demand fan is similar to that used on the D6R Series IImachine that is sold in the European markets.

- Nomenclature has changed from D6R Series II to D6R Series III.

The dozer control lever (1) allows the operator to control all of the blade functions with onelever. Moving the dozer control lever forward or rearward LOWERS or RAISES the blade.Moving the dozer control lever left or right allows the blade to TILT LEFT or TILT RIGHT.

If the machine is equipped with a VPAT blade, moving the thumb lever (2) to the right causesthe blade to ANGLE RIGHT. Moving the thumb lever to the left will cause the blade toANGLE LEFT. The left yellow button (4) allows the operator to activate the AccuGradefunction, if the machine is equipped with AccuGrade. The right yellow button (3) de-activatesAccuGrade. The blade may be controlled manually at any time.

NOTE: There are four different configurations for the dozer control lever, depending onwhether the machine is equipped with a standard blade or VPAT blade and whether themachine is ordered Accugrade Ready or not. These four configurations are:

- The dozer control lever is a pilot operated control lever with no thumb lever on thestandard machine with the standard SU blade.

- The dozer control lever is a pilot operated control lever with an EH thumb lever controlon the standard machine with the VPAT blade.

- The dozer control lever is an electronic control lever with no thumb lever on an AROmachine with the standard SU blade.

- The dozer control lever is an electronic control lever with a thumb lever on an AROmachine with the VPAT blade (shown above).

Fuel System

Fuel is drawn from the fuel tank through the 10-micron primary fuel filter and water separatorby a gear-type fuel transfer pump. The fuel transfer pump is mounted to the rear of the HEUIpump. The fuel transfer pump then forces the fuel through the 2-micron secondary fuel filter.

The fuel then flows through a fuel line where it enters the front of the cylinder head. The fuelflows into the fuel gallery (inside the cylinder head), where it is made available to each of thesix HEUI fuel injectors. Any excess fuel not injected leaves the rear of the cylinder head and isdirected to the fuel pressure regulator. The fuel pressure regulator is an in-line check valve.The fuel pressure regulator maintains a fuel system pressure of approximately 518 kPa (75 psi)between the fuel transfer pump and the fuel pressure regulator.

From the fuel pressure regulator, the excess fuel flow returns to the fuel tank. The ratio of fuelused for combustion and fuel returned to tank is approximately 3:1 (i.e. four times the volumerequired for combustion is supplied to the system for combustion and for injector cooling andlubrication purposes).

The three-section fixed displacement power train oil pump is installed at the right front of themain case. The pump is driven by a drive shaft connected to a drive hub at the right rear of theflywheel housing.

The torque converter charging section "C" of the power train oil pump supplies oil flow to thetorque converter. The torque converter inlet relief valve is installed between the pump and thetorque converter and limits the maximum pressure to the torque converter. The torqueconverter outlet relief valve maintains a minimum pressure inside the torque converter. Oil thatexits the torque converter through the torque converter outlet relief valve is directed to the oil-to-water type power train oil cooler, where the oil is cooled by engine coolant. Oil thatexits the power train oil cooler is then sent to the lube distribution manifold, where it is directedto various power train components through steel tubes inside the main case.

The transmission charging section "B" of the power train oil pump provides oil flow to thetransmission charge circuit. The transmission main relief valve maintains a common toppressure for operation of the transmission and the brakes. An accumulator, located beneath thefuel tank, is incorporated in the transmission charge circuit. The accumulator helps maintain aconstant transmission charge circuit pressure during clutch engagements. Power train oil thatspills past the transmission main relief valve mixes with, and supplements the lube oil from thelube distribution manifold.

The common top pressure power train strategy eliminates the need to perform transmissionclutch engagement pressure calibrations. (Clutch fill calibrations and brake touch-upcalibrations are still required.) The transmission clutch pistons and the brake pistons have beenredesigned so they all operate at the same (common) pressure. When the transmission mainrelief valve is properly adjusted, all of the pressures for operation of the transmission clutchesand for the operation of the brakes are also properly adjusted.

The scavenge section "A" of the power train oil pump draws oil from the transmission case, thebevel and transfer gear case, and the torque divider housing through screened ports. (Flywheellube oil from the flywheel housing drains into the torque divider case.) This scavenge oil isused to lubricate the steering differential gear set and the oil then drains back into the mainsump.

Pressure test ports for the transmission main relief pressure (P) and for the transmission lubepressure (L1) are easily accessible from the rear of the machine.

Remote pressure test ports for the torque converter outlet pressure (N) and the torque converterinlet pressure (M) are located inside the compartment on the front of the right fender. Thepower train breather is remotely mounted beside these two pressure test ports.

The flywheel lube pressure test port (L2) is located below the floor plate in the operatorcompartment.

Transmission output speed and rotational direction is sensed by the two transmission outputspeed sensors (1). The speed/direction pick-up wheel (2) is splined to the transmission outputshaft (3). The wheel induces a current (signal) into each sensor as the speed/direction pick-upwheel moves past the sensors.

The difference in the timing between the signals of the two sensors determines the output shaftspeed. Output shaft rotational direction is determined by sensing which sensor provides asignal first. The signals from the sensors are monitored by the Machine ECM. These signalsare used by the Power Train Electronic Control System to modify the timing of clutchengagements.

The transmission output speed sensors do not require adjusting when they are installed. Theyare held in place with two clips, which maintain the proper air gap between the sensors and thespeed/direction pick-up wheel.

IMPLEMENT HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

The implement hydraulic system for the D6R Series III includes these upgrades:

- implement return and case drain oil filters are both integrated into the hydraulic oil tank

- electrohydraulic implement control for all blade functions on AccuGrade ready machines(ripper/winch control remains pilot operated in all cases)

- new A4 Machine ECM used for implement hydraulic functions and system monitoring

- electronic implement lockout control, like the new T-Series machines

The standard implement hydraulic system for the D6R Series III machine remains mostlyunchanged from the D6R Series II machine. Pilot operated control levers for the blade and theripper (or winch) and pilot operated implement control valves remain standard on the D6RSeries III machine. An EH blade angle control (thumb rocker switch) and an EH manifold withtwo proportional solenoids for blade angle control are added if the machine is equipped with aVPAT blade.

The hydraulic schematic shown above is that of a machine with a VPAT blade. This system isnot for an ARO machine. It shows the implement system in the BLADE LOWER condition.

The hydraulic pump provides oil flow to the steering and implement valve stack through theinlet manifold. Oil flow is also supplied to the pressure reducing manifold, which producespilot pressure oil for operation of the implement control valves and the implement controllevers.

When the operator moves the dozer control lever from HOLD to LOWER, the dozer controllever opens the BLADE LOWER pilot valve, which sends pilot pressure oil to the LOWER endof the blade lift control valve. This pilot pressure moves the main valve spool to the LOWERposition. High pressure pump supply oil flows past the flow control spool and the main spool,then out to the head ends of the blade lift cylinders and the blade lowers.

Oil from the rod ends of the lift cylinders returns through the blade lift control valve and flowspast the main valve spool to the hydraulic tank, through the implement return oil filter.

During the BLADE LOWER operation, pressure builds in the head end of the lift cylinders asthe blade is forced into the ground. This pressure is equal to the external forces that mightresist the blade lowering. This pressure is called "work port pressure." The work port pressureis the same through the entire activated circuit (from the pump, through the blade lift controlvalve, and to the head ends of the blade lift cylinders). The work port pressure, or load sensingsignal, is transmitted through the center of the main valve spool and into signal resolvernetwork. If this is the highest signal from any of the implement control valves, the signal istransmitted back to the pump compensator valve through the internal signal resolver networkand then through the external signal line. The pump's flow compensator valve is set tocommand the pump to upstroke and increase pump flow to meet the demand, proportional tothe operator's request. This flow compensator valve setting will maintain a margin pressure ofapproximately 305 psi (2103 kPa) above the work port pressure.

The hydraulic schematic shown above is that of an ARO machine with a VPAT blade. It showsthe implement hydraulic system in the BLADE LOWER condition, when the blade is beingautomatically commanded to LOWER by the AccuGrade system.

Machines that are equipped with AccuGrade have an EH pilot manifold installed that containsfour proportional solenoid controlled pilot valves. The machine also uses an EH dozer controllever (joystick). The solenoid controlled pilot valves are used to control BLADE RAISE,BLADE LOWER, BLADE FLOAT, BLADE TILT LEFT, and BLADE TILT RIGHT.

The AccuGrade ECM sends a signal to the Machine ECM through the CAN (Controller AreaNetwork) data link when the the AccuGrade system commands the blade to LOWER. TheMachine ECM then sends a corresponding current to the solenoid controlled pilot valve for theBLADE LOWER function. The pilot valve opens, sending pilot oil into the pilot chamber atthe LOWER end of the blade lift control valve. This pilot pressure moves the main valve spoolto the LOWER position and high pressure pump supply oil flows past the flow control spooland the main valve spool, then out to the head ends of the blade lift cylinders and the bladelowers.

Oil from the rod ends of the lift cylinders returns through the blade lift control valve as theblade lowers. The return oil flows past the main valve spool to the hydraulic tank, through theimplement return oil filter.

During the BLADE LOWER operation, pressure builds in the head ends of the lift cylinders asthe blade is forced into the ground. This pressure is equal to the external forces that mightresist the blade lowering. This pressure is called "work port pressure." The work port pressureis the same through the entire activated circuit (from the pump, through the blade lift controlvalve, and to the head ends of the blade lift cylinders). The work port pressure, or load sensingsignal, is transmitted through the center of the main valve spool and into signal resolvernetwork. If this is the highest signal from any of the implement control valves, the signal istransmitted back to the pump compensator valve through the internal signal resolver networkand then through the external signal line. The pump's flow compensator valve is set tocommand the pump to upstroke and increase pump flow to meet the demand, in proportion tothe operator's request. This flow compensator valve setting will maintain a margin pressure ofapproximately 305 psi (2103 kPa) above the work port pressure.

The EH pilot manifold contains four proportional solenoid controlled pilot valves and it alsocontains an AccuGrade Boost solenoid valve. This AccuGrade Boost solenoid valve uses anON/OFF solenoid. The AccuGrade Boost solenoid is ENERGIZED whenever the AccuGradesystem is activated, sending pilot pressure oil into the resolver network through the Float PilotBoost line. This pilot pressure oil (approximately 3250 kPa, or 475 psi) is sensed by thepump's flow compensator valve and the pump upstrokes to maintain margin pressure(approximately 305 psi) above this "signal" (475 psi pilot pressure).

The result of AccuGrade Boost strategy is that the implement system pressure is raised toapproximately 5378 kPa (780 psi) when the pump is in the LOW PRESSURE STANDBYcondition. This elevated standby pressure improves implement response time when a bladefunction is automatically commanded, providing greater accuracy for the automated bladefunction.

ARO machines also contain a pump discharge pressure sensor. This sensor is used to detectchanges in system pressure when performing the implement solenoid calibration routines, usingCat ET. This pressure sensor is only present on ARO machines.

Shown above is a cutaway view of the blade lift control valve in the BLADE LOWERcondition.

High pressure supply oil from the implement pump flows past the flow control spool and theload check valve when a BLADE LOWER command is requested. The supply oil then flowspast the main valve spool and out to the head ends of the lift cylinders and the blade lowers.Oil from the rod ends of the lift cylinders returns through the rod end passage of the blade liftcontrol valve as the blade lowers. The return oil flows past the main valve spool and then intothe passage to the hydraulic oil tank.

At the same time, high pressure (work port pressure) oil from the cylinder head end passage ofthe implement control valve flows into the hole in the right land of the main valve spool that isexposed to the work port pressure in the head end passage. This is signal oil. This signal, orwork port pressure is transmitted through the axial passage in the center of the valve spool, intothe signal chamber, and is directed to the the signal resolver passage. If this is the highestpressure in the signal resolver network, the signal resolver ball shifts to the right and the signalis sent to the pump flow compensator.

The pump then UPSTROKES to meet the flow demand, proportional to the signal pressure.The pump will maintain a margin pressure of approximately 2100 kPa (305 psi) above thesignal pressure if the compensator valve is properly adjusted.

At the same time that the signal pressure is transmitted into the resolver network, the signalpressure is also transferred to the spring chamber behind the flow control spool. This signalpressure, plus the force of the spring, keeps the flow control spool in a position to meter thepump supply oil. The flow control spool also maintains the proper flow of oil to the liftcylinders regardless of changes in load on the lift cylinders or increased flow from the pumpdue to the activation of another implement in the system. The flow of high pressure oil to thecylinders is always proportional to the work port pressure, or signal.

Additionally, signal pressure in the signal chamber is also sensed by the signal limiter valve, atthe right end of the flow control spool spring chamber. The signal limiter valve is used to limitthe maximum pressure in the blade lift circuit in stall or heavy load situations, which protectsthe hydraulic lines and components in the lift circuit. The signal limiter valve acts as a reliefvalve for the signal pressure from the blade lift control valve. The signal limiter valve sensesthe increasing signal oil pressure as signal oil fills the spring chamber behind the flow controlspool. When the pressure reaches the value of the spring in the signal limiter valve(approximately 19300 kPa, or 2800 psi), the signal limiter valve opens, draining oil into thetank passage and depressurizing the spring chamber. An orifice restricts the oil flow into thespring chamber, causing the pressure at the left end of the flow control spool to become greaterthan the pressure in the spring chamber plus the spring force. The high pressure supply oil thenmoves the flow control spool to the right, reducing the flow of supply oil to the lift cylinders.

NOTE: The steering control valve is in series to the implement control valves. When asteering request is made during the operation of an implement, flow to the implementvalves decreases and implement operation slows down.

Steering has priority over implement operation.

The implement hydraulic pump (1) is mounted to the rear of the flywheel housing, at the upperleft corner. High pressure supply oil to the implement valve stack is directed through a hosethat connects to the pump discharge port (2). High pressure supply oil to the pressure reducingmanifold is directed through a hose that connects to the lower fitting (3) from the pumpdischarge port.

A pump discharge pressure sensor (4) is installed on the opposite side of the "tee" fitting fromthe pressure reducing manifold supply line. This pressure sensor is only present on machinesthat are equipped with AccuGrade. It is a necessary component for the calibration of the fourproportional solenoids on the EH pilot manifold that are used for blade control. Machines thatare not equipped with AccuGrade will have an "L" fitting at this location, connecting the pumpsupply line to the pressure reducing manifold.

Other components identified above are:5. pump pressure and flow compensator valve

6. fitting for the load sensing signal line (from the signal resolver network)

7. fitting for the case drain line

This implement pump is identical to the implement pump used in the D6R Series II machineswith differential steering.

The EH pilot manifold receives pilot supply oil from the pressure reducing manifold. The EHpilot manifold contains four (proportional) solenoid controlled pilot valves that receive PWMsignals from the Machine ECM for operation of the blade lift and the blade tilt functions.When ENERGIZED, the solenoid controlled pilot valve directs pilot supply oil to the end ofthe corresponding implement control valve, in direct proportion to the movement of the dozercontrol lever (or as automatically commanded by the AccuGrade system). The EH pilotmanifold also contains the AccuGrade Boost solenoid valve, which uses an ON/OFF solenoid.The AccuGrade Boost strategy was discussed earlier in the Implement Hydraulics section ofthis presentation.

The AccuGrade Boost solenoid valve directs pilot supply oil to an external resolver. The bladelower solenoid controlled pilot valve also directs pilot supply oil to this same external resolver,in addition to the pilot supply oil that is directed to the LOWER end of the blade lift controlvalve. Pilot supply oil is directed (through the resolver) to the Float Pilot Boost line wheneither solenoid is ENERGIZED. The Float Pilot Boost signal line enters the signal resolvernetwork through the end cover of the valve stack. In either situation, the pump's flowcompensator valve senses the pilot supply oil as a signal and the implement pump will upstroketo maintain margin pressure above LOW PRESSURE STANDBY pressure. (If the steeringvalve or another implement valve sends a higher signal into the resolver network, the higherpressure is sensed by the compensator valve.)

This EH pilot manifold is only present on ARO machines.

The pilot manifold supplies pilot pressure oil to the pilot operated implement controls (or thesolenoid controlled pilot valves, if the machine is equipped with EH control of the bladefunctions).

The implement pump discharge oil flows through a screen before it reaches the pressurereducing valve. The pressure reducing valve is infinitely variable, and meters the oil to providepilot supply pressure of approximately 3275 kPa (475 psi).

The pilot oil then flows through the accumulator check valve, which is installed upstream of thehydraulic accumulator. The check valve prevents backflow in the pilot system, in case of lowpilot pressure conditions. The check valve also prevents the hydraulic accumulator fromdischarging when the machine is shut down.

The oil then flows to the hydraulic accumulator and the pilot relief valve. The pilot relief valvelimits the pressure in the pilot oil system past the pressure reducing valve to protect theaccumulator. The pilot relief valve opens to dissipate excess pressure in the event of pressurespikes in the pilot oil system.

The hydraulic accumulator stores energy (pilot pressure) allowing the implements to be loweredin a dead engine situation.

The pilot oil then flows to the implement lockout valve. The implement lockout valve issolenoid operated and it is ENERGIZED when in the UNLOCKED condition. The implementlockout valve is controlled by the implement lockout switch, located on the right console in theoperator compartment. The pilot supply oil is blocked and the implements cannot be movedusing the implement controls when this valve is in the LOCKED, or DE-ENERGIZEDcondition.

When the implement lockout valve is in the UNLOCKED condition, the pilot supply oil exitsthe pilot manifold at the outlet. The pilot supply oil is then directed to the pilot operatedimplement controls (and/or the solenoid controlled pilot valves, if the machine is equipped withEH control of the blade functions).

The machine will have an EH pilot manifold installed for blade angle control (1) if the machineis equipped with a VPAT blade. The EH pilot manifold for blade angle control is located in theforward compartment on the right fender, directly below the pressure reducing manifold. TheANGLE RIGHT solenoid controlled pilot valve (2) and the ANGLE LEFT solenoid controlledpilot valve (3) are identified in the top illustration.

Illustration No. 60 shows the EH pilot manifold when the operator has moved the thumb rockerswitch to the BLADE ANGLE RIGHT position. The Machine ECM receives the signal fromthe thumb rocker switch and sends a corresponding signal to the ANGLE RIGHT solenoidcontrolled pilot valve and the solenoid is ENERGIZED. Pilot supply oil is then directed to theappropriate end of the blade angle control valve.

UNDERCARRIAGE

The D6R Series III Track-type Tractor is available with the new SystemOne™ undercarriage asstandard equipment on all undercarriage arrangements (Std., XL, XW, and LGP). The olderstyle undercarriage (standard for earlier D6R machines) is also available as an option. TheSystemOne undercarriage system uses the following redesigned components:

- track links and track shoes- sprocket segments- track idlers- track rollers- carrier rollers- track guides

A newly designed master link can be ordered and installed by the dealer after taking delivery ofthe machine. Master links are not available from the factory. (The master link requires no newtooling for separating and joining the track).

The interactive multi-media CD, "Introducing Cat SystemOne™ UnderCarriage" (AERV5766)provides more information on the advantages of the new undercarriage and the changes to all ofthe undercarriage components.
