he reason behind the success of the Turin-based company is all in this sentence: with a range of over 10,000 tools and 5000 spare parts suitable for over 80 of the
top brands of demolition machines, SAMEP Tools has managed to carve out significant market share, as it can offer its customers a high quality product at an aff ordable price.
But how can all this be? According to general manager Mino Salvia, “the heart of the company is our production department, consisting of highly skilled and qualified staff working on next-generation machine tools. For

processing purposes, our engineers select superior steel alloys by taking into account the specific function that each component will play inside the hammer. We do not cut back on raw materials. The workpiece then undergoes important tests, such as in the spectrometric analysis of the steel alloy, the ultrasonic test on all the bars, the conformity test, the thermal treatment and the hardness measurement. Plus, the whole production cycle takes place in our factory. The log of each single piece can be traced on our systems: when we talk about quality we know what we’re speaking of!� Quality is also guaranteed by a rigorous research and development department that, with the support of tools designed for metallurgical analysis, is constantly studying new materials and improvements in the production process. The investment in the product is rewarded by customers who choose the right price/quality ratio. For a company with such a strong focus on manufacturing processes and quality standards, the warehouse features the same standards. It has an extremely wide availability of materials: more than 10,000 bits and 3,000 spare parts in stock, which means more than 5,000 deliveries a year around the world.

One of the noteworthy strong suits of SAMEP Tools is its sales support: in 2012, in total contrast with the economic crisis, a new branch was opened in Zaragoza, Spain, to meet the growing demand of this country, but also to quickly serve markets in Portugal, North Africa and southern France. With the opening of the new warehouse, the supply of a new product was launched as well: the teeth for TT buckets (ToughTeeth)®. The Spanish subsidiary is also the official distributor of Feurst® teeth for Spain and Portugal. Dynamic and versatile, the company also deals with some customised services, such as cylinder grinding and the manufacturing of oversized pistons, sample-based manufacturing and repairs on second-hand hammers. In recent years SAMEP Tools stood out for its constant ability to renew its image and its communications. Every year it attends at the most important
international trade fairs, such as Bauma, Conexpo and Intermat. In February 2017 it will take part in Samoter, the biggest Italian trade fair for earthmoving machinery. The new website,www.samep.net, which is fully responsible and easy to browse, has just been launched. Moreover, the company has a strong presence on the main social networks and is in charge of various paper-based and web advertising campaigns, as it knows the key role these instruments have in terms of international prestige and credibility.◀

ecently Hyundai launched their all-new Stage IV excavator and wheel loader line-up. Machines that comply with the latest emission regulation, that are up-to 10% more fuel efficient and with 13% more operator’s space, 10% noise reduction, 50% more durability of arm and boom and 100% more safety with Hyundai’s exclusive AAVM (Advanced Around View Monitoring) System. The all-new HX excavators and HL wheel loaders were predecessed by the Stage III B Hyundai 9A-series. For these models Hyundai have now introduced so-called “de-tiering kits” or “sulfur tolerance kits”. Hyundai dealers can de-tier machines prior to shipment to countries outside Europe and the US. De-tiering means automatically emission decertification. “Hyundai excavators and wheel loaders last for a long time, so it’s good that when our customers choose for the allnew HX/HL series from Hyundai, their

previous machines can enjoy a second life in other countries. That’s how we can all help to make better use of our natural resources and build a better world. However to assure that the new owners have the same peace-ofmind when operating their machines we offer these sulfur tolerance kits.”, says Alain Worp, Director Sales CE for Hyundai Heavy Industries Europe.
Mr K.Y. Kong appointed as new COO of Hyundai Construction Equipment Hyundai Heavy Industries announce the appointment of Mr K.Y. Kong as the new COO (Chief Operating Officer) of
the Hyundai Construction Equipment division. Mr K.Y. Kong has been working for Hyundai for 30-years and has held a number of positions within the company, which include, Head of global Forklift Sales and Head of Production. Mr Kong will continue with maximizing operational excellence in both development and production. Mr K.Y Kong said “Technology, quality, marketing and HR are the key drivers for sustainable growth in our business. I am very confident that by focusing on these 4 pillars we will deliver great value to our customers, grow our marketshare, and achieve our goal of becoming a global top-
three construction equipment manufacturer and a top-ten material handling equipment manufacturer.” Mr. K.Y. Kong has succeeded Mr S.G. Rhee as the Chief Operating Officer of the Hyundai Construction Equipment division. Mr S.G. Rhee retired recently but he leaves an impressive track record. During the past years he has steered the company through challenging times amid a recessive economy in global markets like Brazil, Russia, China and many others. He has also initiated a comprehensive program to reduce operating costs and to reallign and minimize the number of key suppliers. Mr. S.G. Rhee says “Mr K.Y Kong and I have managed numerous projects together this makes me believe that this transition should work out smoothly.” Hyundai Heavy Industries Europe wishes Mr S.G. Rhee (who has been Managing Director from HHIE from 2011 to 2014) a well-deserved retirement.◀

i Terex Trucks has partnered with Auto Maquinaria, Limitada (AMQA) to supply and support its complete range of articulated and rigid haulers in Angola. Headquartered in its newly-opened facility in the capital Luanda, AMQA will also provide Factory-Approved parts and other essential aftermarket care services to customers throughout the iron ore, diamonds, and oil-rich country in Southern Africa. Pleased with the addition of Terex Trucks’ machines to the company’s portfolio, Adriano David, sales director at AMQA, revealed the appointment means its hauler offering to customers in Angola now comes with an increased payload. David explained: “The partnership with Terex Trucks is a great opportunity for AMQA to establish its position as the leading supplier of transport solutions to the mining industry in Angola. During the years of the global commodity boom, AMQA delivered a significant number of ADTs to mines in Angola and even became the best seller of articulated haulers in the entire world in 2007. However, with the increased depth of mines, many operations switched to the use of rigid dump trucks, which wasn’t a product we had
to offer to customers – until now.” Africa’s seventh largest country, Angola is rich in natural resources, including oil, diamonds, gold, iron ore and copper. The growth of the country is almost entirely driven by commodities, and considerable exploration is underway in Angola. Over the next few years, several major mining projects will open up, especially since it is estimated that as little as 40% of the Angolan mining resources have been identified. The durability and efficiency of Terex Trucks’ equipment is a good match for the demanding climate and conditions of the Angolan mining industry. The rugged and simplistic design of the machines, crafted in Motherwell, Scotland, provide a balance of power, torque, and effective gearing, coupled with optimum weight distribution to move more material in less time, with less fuel. To complement its existing range of products, AMQA will add all four Terex Trucks rigid haulers, the TR45, TR60, TR70, and TR100, as well as its TA250, TA300 and TA400 articulated dump trucks. Part of the NORS Group – which is one of the world’s largest suppliers of industrial equipment for construction and infrastructure – AMQA was chosen
to be Terex Trucks’ official distributor in Angola because of its experience and knowledge of the market. Thanks to an active team and great service, the company has built up a strong reputation in the industry and continues to meet, and exceed customer expectations. Guy Wilson, EMEA’s sales and marketing director at Terex Trucks, commented: “AMQA has made a name for itself as a trusted and established distributor for construction equipment across various sectors of the Angolan market. We are confident that this appointment will mean Terex Trucks is well represented in the years to come, where we anticipate new and exciting opportunities in Angola’s diamond, gold and iron mining sectors.”◀

Terex Trucks is a manufacturer of offhighway rigid and articulated trucks that are used in mining, quarrying and construction applications around the world. Headquartered in Motherwell, Scotland, UK, Terex Trucks (a division of Volvo Construction Equipment) has four models of rigid haulers with proven designs and payloads ranging from 41 to 91 tonnes, and three models of articulated haulers with payloads ranging from 25 to 38 tonnes, in its portfolio.

0 km (56 mi) east of Warsaw, in the small village of Skórzec, is home to the country’s leading producer of closed cup mushrooms, as well as the compost substrate used to grow them. Loved by gourmets, the mushrooms are exported across Europe to shops in France,
Germany, Italy and the UK, traveling thousands of kilometers from farm to table. In fact, Poland is the world’s biggest grower of mushrooms – exporting almost 200,000 tonnes annually. At the root of the production is UNIKOST, a family-owned group of

businesses that specialize in managing the various stages of the mushroom cycle – from the production of a highnutrition compost base, to nurturing the delicate harvest under controlled temperatures and humidity. The family tradition, dating back nearly 40 years, is continued by Urszula Sztandera-Kardaszynski, who has driven the business since 1994. Today, UNIKOST’s state-of-the-art mushroom-growing facility is cited as one of the largest in Poland, producing approximately 650 tonnes of mushrooms each month. The factory comprises more than 30 cultivation halls,

purchases. In June 2015, UNIKOST took delivery of a second L120H, with two additional L180H wheel loaders completing the Volvo line-up.
Located just 10 km (6.2 mi) from the cultivation halls is the UNIKOST compost facility, delivering 1,200 tonnes of compost each week and employing some 80 people. Composting is a complex biochemical process that is not easy to control. To ensure the correct consistency, UNIKOST has its own laboratory where technicians test the compost daily.
“Having a large fleet of Volvo wheel loaders has made production more comfortable and helps deliver a quality product with no breakdowns,” says Sztandera-Kardaszynski.

out torque and excellent parallel movement throughout the entire lifting range. “The machines are productive and very durable, especially when working non-stop in our climate, which is tough during winter months,” says Leszek Kardaszynski, director of logistics and investment for UNIKOST.
Such is the high demand of the operation UNIKOST decided that it needed suitably durable machines. In 2000, Sztandera-Kardaszynski purchased her first two Volvo L120D wheel loaders and later invested in Volvo L120H wheel loaders – the first of its Series supplied to Poland. Over 12 months, the L120H accumulated more than 4,000 hours without experiencing any technical issues, prompting further
Fermentation and composting are part of a continuous process requiring the fleet of Volvo machines to operate seven days a week on two-or-three-shift rotas. To meet the demanding schedule, Kardaszynski adds that the wheel loaders “have the power to lift and shift the compost without any technical issues.” With business booming, it’s good pickings for UNIKOST. Recognized
for its outstanding growth, the company received the prestigious Gazele Biznesu award (Business Gazelle) in 2015 by Poland’s top financial daily newspaper, Puls Biznesu. The award-winning company business, covering three generations of mushroom growers, is taking a bite out of the Polish mushroom market. Given the corrosive environment, the machines are thoroughly cleaned each night to keep them working at optimum levels. For day-to-day maintenance, the plant has its own wellequipped workshops. The operation has proven successful; 15 years on, the first two machines are still in good working order, having clocked up more than 50,000 hours of arduous service. Kardaszynski keeps a close eye on the performance of the handling equipment, explaining that the decision to invest in Volvo wheel loaders is based on UNIKOST’s successful experience with the machinery and long-standing partnership with Volvo CE representatives.◀

The New Mixing Bucket Safe Discharge At SaMoTer also the new Mixing Bucket Safe Discharge: in the context of the 22nd SaMoTer Innovation Award, Cangini Benne has been awarded with one of the four Special Mentions assigned. With a special eye on safety on work sites, Cangini R&D staff has designed the new Mixing Bucket Safe Discharge, combining the operational effectiveness of a mixing bucket with central discharge and the safety standards of a Mix with side discharge.
In the new MIX SF, the operator always locks the discharge pipe from the bucket’s side in the safest work condition. His presence underneath the bucket is no longer necessary. Seated in the cabin, the driver will move the pipe to the centre controlling the hydraulic cylinder, thus considerably increasing the personnel’s safety level at this stage. Furthermore, the immediate and automatic stop of the mix functioning when the grid is opened offers additional protection.

Multiscreening buckets In the Mustiscreening buckets both for excavators and frontal coupling, with the new rotary double drum in HB400, the material-size (25-60 mm) change system is controlled directly from the cab without stopping or slowing the work cycle down and without replacing any mechanical part. That way, all the difficulties related to the traditional screening concept are overpassed. The two rotary drums slide one on another: controlled by a hydraulic cylinder, the inner drum’s back and forward movement allows to change the dimension of the holes for the material pouring.
The newest models for both coupling systems, for excavators or frontal, are respectively the VMS30 and the VMS-F20, for machines from 20 to 30 tons. In details, the most innovative aspect is the compact design of the VMS-F20 model. The rotary double drums in HB400 are now two and their special design allows to get the tool’s height unvaried and the visibility from the cab wide as a consequence. The work capacity has been increased, with a better mass balancing and a working area widely enlarged, near to the machine’s track width.
its new rotary double drum design, it was launched last year at Bauma in Munich. Thanks to the great attention the market has granted to the tool, this bucket has paved the way to new models’ projects for machines of higher tonnages. Until now Cangini has in fact produced tools to be coupled with machines from 0.6 to 14 tons. With the latest Multiscreening buckets, for excavators and front cou-

stablished more than 35 years ago in Vignola, in the province of Modena, Hydreco Hydraulics Italia, part of the English group Hydreco, is well known on an international basis as a leading company in the remote control for construction machinery market, as well as many others. Among the most recent solutions launched by the Italian company one of the most important is the HPV2C joystick. The unit has been designed to offer fine and accurate control in typical earthmoving, material handling and lifting applications, as well as many others, providing also robustness and reliability, typical standard of the Italian company. The dual axis joystick is the result of a brand new project; the proportional valves have been redesigned to ensure optimum control with very low effort, providing a wide range of low hysteresis characteristics to precisely control valves or variable displacement pumps of all type. A specific focus was paid to
The new MDC joystick with MFE2 handle
the internal mechanism, designed to ensure long operational life in the most adverse environmental conditions. The unit has a compact and lightweight aluminum alloy body for indoor or outdoor installation.
Joysticks for wheeled loaders Specifically designed for medium and large size loaders, the HPVL units (2 or 3 axes configuration available) are hydraulic joysticks capable to drive the functions of the latest generation machines, ensuring a smooth and accurate control. These units can be equipped with magnetic detent with prefeel, designed for the typical functions of the wheel loaders (e.g., the floating position of the bucket). Part of the same family, the CPVL units are designed for small wheel loaders, where compactness is a must. This joystick represents a versatile and high quality solution for hydraulic 3-axes
control. Both main and auxiliary lever can be equipped with mechanical and/ or magnetic detent with prefeel; the special kinematic linkage is also available, allowing the combined movement of the East-West axis of the main lever with the auxiliary one. A wide range of low hysteresis metering curves is available also on the wheel loader joysticks, as well as the other model in the product portfolio, to suite all the customer needs.
News at your fingertips A wide range of handles is available on each Hydreco Hydraulics unit (HPV2C, HPVL, CPVL included) to host and drive additional machine functions: from the simplest handles to ergonomic ones with digital or proportional controls. Among these, the new MFE2. The ergonomic multi functional MFE2 handle is the result of years of experience and research made by the Italian company, always committed to

innovation and continuous improvement. The handle can be supplied as a standalone unit or assembled on Electric ON-OFF, electro-proportional and hydraulic joysticks available in the company product range. A specific focus has driven its design to reach the excellence on robustness, ergonomics and safety. The use of polyamide PA66 loaded with glass spheres gives the MFE2 structure a very strong resistance to impacts, adaptation to low and high temperature, abrasion resistance and dimensional stability. The ease of use, the comfort of the Safety Trigger button and the intuitive handling of controls are aimed to support the operator focus on his duty, with a significant increase on the safety side. The safeTgrip ® and the 15° forward tilted layout emphasize the interest placed in the study of a safe and comfortable use of MFE2 for the operator, in particular in continuous and heavy duty application. The large front panel is designed to host several controls, with high reliability and an IP68 protection degree for ON-OFF, proportional and signaling functions. The MFE2 is a real high-tech device: Hall effect controls as well as ON-OFF mini-joysticks, capacitive Dead Man, different types of buttons, rocker and potentiometric knobs are only some examples of controls available on this handle, that make it a very flexible device capable to satisfy the requirements of many applications.
MDC MDC Series Electrical Proportional joystick is the latest born in the wide range of Hydreco Hydraulics pilot controls. The MDC joystick combines the extensive Hydreco experience in hydraulics and the latest electronic technologies based on SMD Hall effect sensors and microcontroller’s architecture.
The product has a new design meant to provide a comfortable and fine control of mobile and industrial applications. It’s a single lever with single/dual axis control, supported by an extensive range of handle options. MDC versatility and flexibility of use satisfies the most demanding customer’s requirements, offering a complete range of output versions: CANBUS 2.0B, 0-5Volt, PWM, Ratiometric. The mechanical side of the joystick has been designed to provide a 5 million working cycles lifetime; the body – polyamide PA66 with 30% glass fibers – is extremely robust but light and with 76mm height only permit an easy installation on every machine. The automotive standards has been satisfied: the new joystick can operate from -40°C to +85°C with an IP65 protection degree. A specific Windows based interface has been created (Hydreco MDC Customer Suite) to setup the joystick through a PC simply utilizing a USB connection kit: power ramps settings on PWM version, as well as the ID message or the Baud rate on CAN Bus version represent examples of the possibility given by the Hydreco suite.
no compromise on reliability and safety critical environments. The whole system is controlled by the ECU Can Master Unit that runs the control algorithm: the Master Unit receives information from sensors and other control devices (electro–proportional joysticks, electric pedals, GPS/ GPRS unit, keypad and more), processes them and sends appropriate control signals to all electrical and electro-hydraulic actuators on the machine. One of the strength of the Hydreco Can Bus system is definitely the “Can Master Tool”, a Windows based integrated programming environment which offers a unique and comprehensive tool for designing the entire system (Master, Crane, Expansion, Display etc.). The Can Master Tool is also a very useful tool for diagnostics and start up of the machine, since it allows control parameters changes, software download, and “real time” acquisition of all relevant signals on a personal computer via RS232 serial interface.◀ An overview of the pilot controls valves
CAN Bus The Hydreco CAN Bus system combines years of experience in the hydraulics market with the most advanced electronic control devices for “mobile” applications on the market. The system complies with CANopen and SAE J1939 standards and it is therefore compatible and expandable with all devices on the market that meet the requirements of those protocols. The widely recognized benefits of CAN Bus, in particular the interference free, easy of wiring (only two wires to connect all components) and the high transfer rate for a serial protocol, highlight the robustness and flexibility of functions that the Hydreco CAN bus system provides, with

CLEANLINESS:
Our Zn plating is the right answer to high demand resistance, and a great alternative to the ZnNi plating, with the great advantage to be environmental friendly. In fact, not using Nickel, which is a black list metal, and have phased out already in 2006 the hexavalent chromium, and now also arsenic and cobalt are no longer into our products, we can really claim to have environmental friendly plating. This for the benefit of our employees, end users of our products, and of course of our environment.
Our fittings have all a great resistance against corrosion, but not only. Cleanliness is a very important factor when it comes to hydraulic system. FOR SPA can deliver a level of cleanliness for tube fittings and assembled hoses in line with NAS 8 – ISO 19/17/14 grade. Moreover, we can meet higher demanding level on specific features like biggest contaminant particle etc, which are very depending from customer to customer. All our parts have caps to protect threads and ensure cleanliness is guaranteed until the point of use.
NEW PRODUCTS INTRODUCTION: GREASE CHECK VALVE This a very niche products, but extensive application, in fact there are two on every crawler machine (mini excavator, crawler excavator, dozer, track type loaders, etc.). This valve ensure the greasing of the idler, and can hold up 1.000 bar pressure.
SPECIAL CONNECTORS & HOSE FITTINGS MADE TO DRAWING FOR has a vast array of special fittings that are able to cut operating time, reduce leak paths and save a great deal of space, given the current layout of hydraulic power systems.
HOSE FITTINGS – NEW CATALOGUE RELEASE We recently introduce into our product range the two-piece fittings, to implement our WIDE RANGE one-piece fittings. This product are included into our new catalogue; please request your new copy.◀

we have the capacity to simulate air stream inside Cabs to control for ideal ventilation. Since 1992, we’ve been a partner of the now CNH Group (previously New Holland, Fiat-Hitachi, Fiat Kobelco): we worked with the New Holland Engineering group on the complete TLB FB Model project in the 1990s and the 2000s, developing the EUROPE frame and USA frame version and we also developed the installation of the Power Train, engines groups, fuel tank and oil tank. Together with NH Staff, we defined kinematics motions about the Back-hoe and Front Loader and we developed the entire attachment, buckets, etc. We have been involved in the defining of the hoods, the Cab and ROPS frames. In subsequent years Studio Ti has been involved in the development of new projects for the TLB, working on new engines and models such as the NH 4WS version and CASE versions. Regarding Tele-handler machines, we worked on the entire project of “Little” TLH for the CNH Group. We defined the complete 3D model for the TLH, Frame, Extendable Arm, PowerTrain installation, Tanks, Engine installation, hoods, Interior and Exterior Cab groups. We developed all detailed welding and assembling drawings including the codification and Bom Structure in the Customer Owner System.
Studio Ti has always been involved in the development of Mini-Excavators, Wheel Excavators and Crawler Excavators for the CNH Group. Since the 2000s, we have developed the projects for the entire Mini-Excavators range, dealing with the Upper and Lower Frame Design, Stabilizer Blade, Engine installation, Hydraulic Layout, Attachment Device, Guards and Operator Station. We supported the customers throughout the complete lifecycle of the machines, developing improvements and industrialization for the plant dispositions and with the complete updating of every P/N in the Customer System. In the same years, Studio Ti participated in the development of WEX and CEX Projects (Wheel and Crawler Excavators) for FIAT-HITACHI and after FIATKOBELCO Brands. Also in this case, we’ve been involved in the project for the whole range; Frames, Tanks, Stabilizers, Engine installation, Guards, Counterweight and Attachments.
In subsequent years Studio Ti collaborated with Soilmec (part of the Trevi Group) in their New Drilling and Crane Project: we were involved in the new Interior Cabin Design, Upper Frames, Counterweights and in Side Openable Hoods. In particular, we studied an entirely new Ergonomics Operator Area for the new dashboards, New Seats Side Consoles and the New TouchScreen Monitor. We developed modular Counterweights in relation to operating weights of machines and have developed New Side Openable and Sliding Guards and new platforms to access the machines for service phases. We built representative and functional mock-up of the new Cab and we have also developed models and moulds for Dashboards and Guards. We followed the Customer with the building of Instrument Panels and Guards in fiberglass for the production.◀
