Architecture
The Eaton Ultronics™
twin independent spool
architecture with its
embedded sensors and
on board electronics
enables full closed
loop control.
• Each section contains two
independent main spools
(2) which are driven by an
electronic pilot valve. (3)
• Each pilot valve contains
embedded on-board
electronics (9) with
two independent high performance, low power
proportional actuators. (4)
• For full closed loop
control, each main
spool has its own LVDT
position sensor (7) and
port pressure sensor. (8)

Bucket shake
• shakes bucket at predetermined amplitude and frequency to remove debris
from bucket easily
• Performs start-up checks
and diagnostics to ensure
that all valves are responding and are within
prescribed parameters
Self level
• divides flow between bucket
and boom to automatically
keep load level
• Configuration software
available for both joystick
and valve system
• Available in application
specific format
Soft dig
• machine hydraulics will
stall when predetermined
pressure increases are
encountered to avoid digging
up unwanted items like
service pipes
• Quick tuning and optimization through the use of
window based software.
Now in a matter of
minutes rearrange what
traditionally took months
to configure
Auto dump
• load in bucket is automatically
dumped
• Ability to tune machines
quickly. You no longer
need custom hardware to
have a custom system
