Oilmatic Couples Electrics Too

Wimmer´s Oilmatic Technology has become a well known term in the construction industry. Starting in September 2008, the system was expanded with one more feature - an electric coupler with 7 connections has been added to the hydraulic circuits coupler.

The gold plated contacts can transport enough capacity to switch magnetic valves in the hydraulic attachments.

An actual application of this technology is used in the "Tiltator", a rotating and swivelling adapter produced since the beginning of 2008 by Wimmer.

Valves inside the Tiltator manage the control of functions through electric signals coming from the excavator.

Until now electrics had to be connected manually, from now on it is coupled automatically thanks to Wimmer's Oilmatic Technology.
