Superior Pak Touchscreen

The latest Superior Pak compactor vehicles have touchscreens inside the truck cabs, part of the advancement of technology now found in their front, rear and side loading equipment. I personally prefer the basics with a few direct buttons and switches as a driver, but I guess this stuff is the way of the future now. On the other hand this modern interface style comes with a comprehensive insight into the settings and diagnostics of any given collection vehicle, which can be helpful for mechanics and maintenance personnel. The integration of camera views from around the truck into the single screen is cool, reducing the amount of monitors located in the cab and providing a larger image than previously on demand. This photo gives an example of the pages that are displayed on a rear loader touchscreen interface, showing the home welcome page in the top left corner, which also shows 2 of the selected ongoing camera views that can be enlarged individually (like rear when reversing). The two bottom images exhibit what is presented on the screen interface when either load or unload modes are selected, which appear above the camera pictures shown on the welcome page. If you notice the truck figure with the lighting and arrow icons, pressing them will result in the activation of the suggested functions, being forward and rear beacon lights, hopper and side work lamps, tailgate raise and lower, ejector extend and retract, and automatic hopper clearance. The red shaded portion of the truck indicates how full the body is, which is achieved through the placement of a laser sensor that reads the position of the ejector blade. Also shown is an example of a menu which takes you into the heart of the CANbus system to review the machine’s operating status and make alterations, such as changing bin lifter angles and adjusting compactor hydraulic pressure.
