A new system to optimise the connectivity between the crane and truck and to control different truck functions from the crane remote control and vice versa
A crane and vehicle made whole. This is the result of the technology developed by Fassi Gru in collaboration with Volvo Trucks Italia, which will be introduced to visitors during the 67th edition of the IAA Hannover trade fair at stand 51 of Fassi Gru S.p.A. in the outdoor area “M”.
Taking place every 2 years in Germany, it is one of the most important international shows dedicated to industrial vehicles and for this reason has been chosen as the venue for the world premiere of the FX-Link system that optimises connectivity between the crane and truck.
Its purposes are 1) to give the driver better and quicker feedback on the state of the crane when behind the wheel of the truck, fully integrating this information into the vehicle's dashboard, and 2) to enhance the capabilities of the remote control as an operating tool in crane handling.
At the Hannover fair, held this year from 20th to 27th September, the Italian company is firmly committed to innovation.
The Fassi Gru industrial group, leader in the lifting sector, will take part in the IAA 2018 industrial vehicle trade fair, scheduled to take place in Hannover from 20th to 27th September. It is one of the world's largest trade fairs dedicated to the transport sector and industrial vehicles. Now in its 67th edition, the IAA is organised by the VDA (German Association of the Automobile Industry), the most eminent trade association in Germany.
IAA 2014: Fassi presents the latest models of the new XE and XHE ranges
The Fassi Gru industrial group, a leader in the lifting sector, will be participating in the IAA 2014 industrial vehicle trade fair, that will be held in Hannover from 25th September to 2nd October, one of the largest international trade fairs dedicated to the transport and industrial vehicle sectors. Now, in its 65th edition, IAA is organised by VDA (German association of the automobile industry), the most authoritative industry association present in Germany.Proposing new quality products means investing in innovative processes developed as a result of the constant desire to offer ideas and solutions to the market and the ability to interpret and anticipate its needs. Nowadays, to achieve new and effective results, Fassi Gru integrates mechanical solutions with electronic ones, ergo mechatronics. The attention of the Italian manufacturer focuses entirely on innovation and technology and the new models reflect this clear orientation.
On display in the outdoor area M stand 37 there will be the latest models of the new XE and XHE ranges, which introduce design and innovative features resulting in performance that places these models at the top in terms of lifting capacity. In particular, the “heavy-duty” F990RA xhe-dynamic crane model will be on display. At the same time, a new model of the Micro series will be presented in preview (M40A, the only crane in this range with linkage system) together with the F85B.0, a new model in the 8 ton/m class.
The impressive F1950RAL.2.28 will also be on display, mounted on a 4-axle vehicle from Denmark: a crane with a 137,6 ton/m lifting capacity that, with its jib and manual extensions, obtains a height outreach of 50 m. This very compact unit, in standard configuration (without any accessories), reaches a total weight of 32 t with all the consequent benefits of road use.
Fassitech.com, innovation just a click awayThe new version of the website has been enriched with information and services reserved mainly for commercial operators and technicians. Brochures of Fassi products and those of competitors, along with images, technical sheets, a comparison program, FIP and assistance are just some of the information contained in the site.
A new website created and designed to combine several tools into a single interface. A unique and complete virtual archive where you can find and download every piece of information useful for all professionals, from sales and service assistants to technicians. The fassitech.com website has changed its look in order to provide additional services and surplus value to users. The new version of the site is divided into four main sections, some of which were already found in the previous version and others that have been added for the first time: Fassi Cat, the commercial area, the technical area and the applications area.
While the first area is accessible to everyone, the others can only be viewed with a different login and password, depending on the authorizations issued by the relevant offices. For the commercial and technical areas, the user id’s and passwords used up to today on the old version of Fassitech.com will continue to be valid. For the applications area and to use the Fassi Installation Program - FIP, users will need to request new access codes from the technical assistance office. As in the past, the site can be viewed in five different languages: Italian, English, Spanish, German and French. The main feature of the new version of the website, especially in the reserved area, is the main menu, which is still visible since it is positioned in the upper part of the interface. This will allow you to find in a quicker and more immediate way the tools Fassitech.com is equipped with.
The first area, accessible to all users, is Fassi Cat, already included in the previous version. From here it is possible to view the spare parts catalogue, the functions of which have remained virtually unchanged but whose graphics have been adapted to the new version of fassitech.com. Once you’ve entered this section you can select the different components (crane models, cranes not included in the range, hydraulic extensions, supplementary crossbeams, winches and various options) and the respective machines.
Innovation is an essential part of Fassi - making up its DNA and representing the guiding philosophy at the basis of the challenge and the path pursued from the very beginning by the company, a world leader in the production of hydraulic cranes.This word can have many meanings, taking on many facets based on the industry and activity it is applied to: from products to processes, all the way to service.
In terms of production processes, following these guidelines and always putting innovation first, at the core of its work method, the Fassi Group has made an important choice that goes against the tide in comparison with other competitors: making significant investments in automation over the years.
Unlike others who have decided to relocate their production abroad to countries with much lower labour costs, Fassi has invested several million Euros in new production systems. This strategy has allowed the Group to improve the quality of its products, optimise its resources and achieve a better price-quality relationship. The new systems ensure precise, constant and guaranteed results that only automation can deliver. Whereas before there were operators that welded, bent and cut one piece after another, day after day, in a repetitive and oftentimes alienating way, today these tasks are performed by machines.
With this significant initial investment, taking advantage of a wide range of economies of scale, the company based in Albino is able to bring its products to the market at highly competitive prices without compromising on the quality that has always represented Fassi’s style. Although innovation has brought significant surplus value, for Fassi human capital continues to be an indispensable resource. For the company automation means giving more value to its employees that, thanks to this policy, perform many activities in which “man” makes the difference. For quite some time the Group has been investing in automation using a variety of automated systems.
In particular, in recent years the plant has been equipped with a welding system with an automated warehouse, a cutting laser, a robotic system for welding extension booms, a welding system of hexagonal beams equipped with an automated warehouse and finally, a welding system for supplementary crossbeams.
