Re: Komatsu WA500-6 by Fumotec
Nice to see one of these new machines on the forum. What do you think of the WA500-6? I haven't heard very much about these wheel loaders, nor have we seen any real video footage of them operating. I'm surprised there aren't more builds or threads showing them off!

It'd be great to see some video of it, if you have it?

Re: Komatsu WA500-6 by Fumotec
Hi,
at the moment I have only one video form the begining. 1. Test You can see the wheelloader is playing with 3 x 1.5L full water-bottles. No ballast at the back. No problem at all. I will do some additional video, but the weather was sooo bad. |

Re: Komatsu WA500-6 by Fumotec
I will start at the beginning: I ordered the Komatsu Nov. 2012 and four weeks later I received a well packed carton with all the parts in it.
The manual is give in .pdf-form and need to be printed. The metall parts are made of cold rolled steel. and at the most parts it is spot-welded. All weldings are good connected even you can finde holes, which need to be filled later before painting. |

Re: Komatsu WA500-6 by Fumotec
Impressive lifting capacity! It seems to handle the water bottles, even without the hyrdaulics running at max flow.

Re: Komatsu WA500-6 by Fumotec
To work so easy you need a good hydraulic system.
The hydraulik pump is from Jung-Fluid. In industry the pump is running with 80 - 100 BAR. Here in the Komatsu the system is tested up to 30 BAR. I run 18 - 20 BAR. The hydraulic cylinders come ready mounted. |

Re: Komatsu WA500-6 by Fumotec
I forgot to ask. I've not seen a photo of the Fumotec unit next to another model for size reference. I know it's larger than the 966 WDC but still haven't seen a size relevance photo. If you have a Tamiya truck or something common like that, and get a minute to snap a photo, I'd love to see this.

Re: Komatsu WA500-6 by Fumotec
FYI sizes:
WA500 Länge: 705mm Breite: 230mm Höhe: 270mm Wedico 966: Length: app. (612mm) 24.09", Width: app. (211mm) 8.31", Height: app. (250mm)9.84" So the WA500 looks about 10% larger than the 966. Not sure how much heavier, but I suspect it is a lot... The 966 is only about 8kg(17lb). I am sure some one can dig up a picture or two... Interesting. AP |

Re: Komatsu WA500-6 by Fumotec
Weight : 13 kg
In original: The WA500-6 is used in small minings. It's not a machine to use on normal working ground. CU |

Re: Komatsu WA500-6 by Fumotec
Hello,
As wanted I did a snapshot of the wheelloader and a truck. It´s my 1:12 Faun L908SA 6x6 trialtruck. So you see the Komatsu is a little bit bigger than a normal wheel loader which can be found at a building yard. |

Re: Komatsu WA500-6 by Fumotec
thanks, yes the FAUN is a good time.
Yesterday I started to create an area to run my gardentrial-competition on next sunday. In the past I did this by hand, now I used my Komatsu. I did some video, looking forward to upload to youtube. Last edited by Arnd; 06-03-2013 at 05:05 AM. |

Re: Komatsu WA500-6 by Fumotec
Hello everybody,
until the videos are available on youtube I would like to show you more details from inside the FUMOTEC. Four brushless outrunners are doing the job of driving. Every motor is controlled by a single robbe roxy. The four controller are connected via double y-cable at one chanel. Each motor has around 100w power. They find there place of working in the axles. |

Re: Komatsu WA500-6 by Fumotec
The videos of my yesterday action are online.
They are a little bit long, but I didn´t want to cut, so this is real live without any palliation. (I found a new word in dictionary ) Driving school Part 01 Driving school Part 02 |
