Changing Control Pattern for New Holland 655E Excavator
#1
When operating an excavator, selecting the right control pattern is crucial for both operator comfort and work efficiency. The New Holland 655E excavator offers different control patterns, and depending on the work environment and personal preference, the operator may need to switch between them. However, the method of changing control patterns can vary depending on the machine's configuration. Understanding how to change the control pattern on the New Holland 655E is essential for optimizing performance and ensuring a comfortable operation experience.
Choosing the Control Pattern
Excavators generally offer two control pattern options: ISO pattern and the traditional JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) pattern. The ISO pattern follows a more modern control setup, which aligns with international standards, while the JIS pattern is often used in older Japanese machinery. The movement of the joysticks will be different in each pattern. For example, in the ISO pattern, the joystick movements for controlling the arm and bucket are opposite to those in the JIS pattern. Operators typically choose the control pattern based on their personal habits and the requirements of the job.
How to Change the Control Pattern
  1. Check the Excavator's Manual
    The New Holland 655E typically includes a built-in function to change the control pattern. Before making any adjustments, it’s important to review the operator’s manual to understand how to switch between control patterns for your specific machine model. Most excavators will have a button or switch that allows you to toggle between the ISO and JIS control modes.
  2. Use the Control Pattern Switch
    On some models of the New Holland 655E, the control pattern switch is located on the operator's console. Operators simply need to press the corresponding button to switch between ISO and JIS modes. For some machines, the engine may need to be turned off before switching modes.
  3. Automatic Control Pattern Switching System
    Some New Holland 655E excavators come with an automatic control pattern switching system. This system automatically adjusts the joystick control pattern based on the work requirements, making it easier for the operator. If available, operators can select the preferred mode through the system settings interface, and the system will handle the switching automatically.
Adjustments After Changing Control Patterns
After changing the control pattern, operators may need to make some fine adjustments to fully adapt to the new control system. Here are some tips:
  1. Familiarize Yourself with the New Control Feel
    The joystick movements and responses may differ between the new control pattern and the previous one. Operators will need to take some time to adjust to the new feel and find a rhythm that suits their operating style.
  2. Fine-Tune the Sensitivity
    After switching the control pattern, you may need to fine-tune the joystick sensitivity or response rate to ensure the machine operates smoothly. Adjusting the control settings can help enhance the stability and precision of the machine during operation.
  3. Test the Machine
    Before beginning any serious work, it's recommended to perform some test operations in an open area. This will ensure the operator has fully adapted to the new control pattern, and it will also help to verify that the machine is responding correctly in the new pattern.
Conclusion
Changing the control pattern on the New Holland 655E excavator is an effective way to improve work efficiency and operator comfort. By referring to the operator's manual, using the control pattern switch, or relying on an automatic switching system, operators can quickly adjust to the control pattern that suits their personal preferences and work requirements. After making the switch, adjusting and testing the settings will help the operator gain full control of the machine, increasing overall productivity.
