Outline
The work equipment control employs a PPC system which uses a PPC valve to move the spools
of the control valve.
Work equipment lock lever (1) is interconnected
with PPC lock valve (4), and when it is at the
LOCK position, the flow of oil in the PPC circuit is
stopped.

PPC VALVE

Function
The EPC solenoid valve consists of the proportional solenoid valve portion and the oil pressure
block.
From the control box (TOPCON), an electric signal is sent to the EPC valve according to the
amount that right control lever is moved.
When signal current i is received from the control
box, an EPC output is generated in proportion to
the level of the current to drive the work equipment valve.
The shuttle valve supplies the higher output of
the PPC valve and EPC valve to the work equipment valve to drive the spool.

Operation
1. When signal current is 0 (coil deenergized)
When there is no signal current flowing from the
controller to coil (9), coil (9) is deenergized.
For this reason, spool (6) is pushed to the right in
the direction of the arrow by spring (7).
As a result, port P is closed, and the pressurized
oil passing through the PPC and EPC charge
valve from the charge pump does not flow to the
control valve.
At the same time, pressurized oil from the control
valve flows from port C through port T and is
drained to the tank.

2. When signal current is small (coil excited,

during fine control )
When a small signal current flows to coil (9), coil
(9) is excited and a propulsion force pushing to
the left in the direction of the arrow is generated
in plunger (10).
Push pin (8) pushes spool (6) to the left in the direction of the arrow and pressurized oil flows
from port P to port C.
The pressure at port C rises and the force acting
on face a of spool (6) + the spring load of spring
(7) becomes greater than the propulsion force of
plunger (10). When this happens, spool (6) is
pushed to the right, port P and port C are shut off,
and at the same time, port C and port T are connected.
As a result, spool (6) moves to the left or right to
a position where the propulsion force of plunger
(10) is balanced with the pressure at port C + the
spring force of spring (7).
Therefore, the circuit pressure between the EPC
valve and the control valve is controlled in proportion to the size of the signal current.

3. When signal current is large (coil is excited,

full power control)
When signal current flows to coil (9), coil (9) is
excited.
The signal current at this point is the maximum,
so the propulsion force of plunger (10) is also the
maximum.
Because of this, spool (6) is pushed to the left in
the direction of the arrow by push pin (8).
As a result, the maximum flow of pressurized oil
from port P flows to port C and the circuit pressure between the EPC valve and the control
valve becomes the maximum.
At the same time, port T is closed and no oil flows
to the tank.
