trawson89's Lego Technic Liebherr 1060 Crane

[DLuders]

LUGpol AFOL trawson89 made this

of his Lego Technic LIEBHERR 1060 CRANE. There are 13 pictures of it on his Brickshelf gallery. Using this English translation of his LUGpol post, he wrote,

"I would like to introduce you to the next MOC, this is the 1060 crane LIEBHERR Brand [crane]....

SPECIFICATIONS:

Dimensions: Length 85 studs / Width 33s / 23s Height / Long edge of the arm 145s

Weight: 6kg

Suspension: none

PF elements:

- 4 x [Power Functions] PF Medium motors

- 2x PF XL motors

- 3x PF Infrared Receivers

- 1x PF Battery Box

"Powered by an XL motor, power is transmitted to all wheels; each axle has its own differential. Two front and two rear axles are connected by a central differential....The XL turns and drives the motor, the steering angle is not got by means of reduction, but by the radius vector crossover.

"As a working tool, there are 2 Medium motors and 1 small pneumatic actuator. The motors are responsible for three functions:

- The first motor winds the rope and changes the angle of inclination of the cab, while the actuator switches between these two functions.

- The second motor is mounted directly on the shoulder. I see this as a good solution because it escaped unnecessary resistance, the three sectional boom of max. Increasing angle of approximately 75 degrees of a Medium is a little low, and if he came to the reluctance motor have to be very tired.

- Arm raise four pneumatic actuators and frankly barely handle myself with this question, of course.

"BODY -- In the rear there are 2 Medium PF motors and a small pneumatic cylinder through it, which can operate with four functions in two modes:

- The first mode is sliding supports left and right, not necessarily at the same time. Props spread apart the linear actuators. I used the model to improve pneumatic actuators as shown, though the model does not rise to the wheel detached from the substrate, but the fault of the vehicle weight cylinders just do not give support.

- The second mode is drive the compressor and drive motor. By starting the building process, I thought that the construction crane will be simple, but caused me a lot of trouble - among other things, lead shafts throughout the vehicle. Finalizing the model I think is successful, because I managed to do what I planned."
