Yanmar VIO 38-6 PR features overview

BEST COMPONENTS
Designed in Japan with renowned components for top quality. Design and performance of the components made for long service life.

Upgraded operator station: enlarged leg room, Yanmar Universal design for increased comfort and productivity, new electronic instrumentation, improved ergonomics and air suspension seat in standard.
IMPROVED STABILITY AND LIFTING CAPACITY
Although the operating weight of the vio38-6 is reduced to 3 695 kg, optimal mass distribution allows for improving the loading map of the machine in most positions, particularly in front positions. In addition, the boom on the Vio38-6 has been completely redesigned to improve its lifting capacity and digging performance also ensuring a longer service life.
SPACIOUS AND COMFORTABLE CABIN
Looking towards the operator at the heart of his design initiatives, Yanmar developed the Universal Design concept that gives you comfort for improved productivity. Combined to an increased leg room it allows improvement of convenience and operator safety. Operator controls and switches are ergonomically arranged to be easily accessible.
ALL AROUND VISIBILITY
The vio38-6 design ensures an ergonomic environment, excellent visibility and exceptional safety. The shape of the cab gives the operator optimal 360 visibility to improve job site safety and make working more efficient.The vio38-6 is equipped with two mirrors so that the operator can control the work area without changing from the seat.
IN STANDARD
The vio38-6 is standard equipped with an air-suspended seat to provide optimum comfort for a machine of this weight class. Fully adjustable and with a headrest, it reduces body tension and fatigue.

Engine / Driveline and transmission

NEW GENERATION YANMAR ENGINE
The latest generation of Yanmar TNV engines: electronically controlled 3-cylinder engine with direct injection to improve power, fuel consumption and emission levels. Auto retardation and Eco mode are available as standard.
NEW GENERATION ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED YANMAR MOTOR
With an output of 18.9 kw at 2200 rpm, the yanmar 3tnv88-esbv engine is the result of our continuous efforts to achieve technological advances in fuel consumption and emissions. with the vio38-6 gives yanmar priority over the environment and fuel savings: + A control unit manages RPM according to torque thus optimizing Engine load. This can save fuel while increasing Machine productivity. + An auto deceleration system (standard) further reduces Fuel Consumption by allowing the engine to go back into idle when the operator does not touch the operating levers for 4 seconds. + An Eco Mode effectively checks the 300 rpm reduced engine speed which allows very low fuel consumption.
PERFORMANCE
Engine 3TNV88-ESBV Yanmar Diesel.Direct injection Engine Control Unit (ECU) • Eco-Mode?Auto-Develeration System • VIPPS Hydraulic System • vio progressive 3-pump system • third circuit with proportional control to the arm end • external hydraulic oil gauge • 1 LED light integrated into the boom• Long arm (1620 mm).

Hydraulics

Vipps hydraulic system
The vio38-6 is equipped with a vipps hydraulic system, which cumulates the flow of separate pumps to maintain the optimal combination in terms of speed, power, smoothness and balance so that all operations can perform evenly while travelling.
EASY OPERATION
Control levers ideally located for exceptional movement precision. the vio38-6 benefits of proportional control of boom swing, over the proportional switch located on the right joystick.
HIGH PERFORMANCE
Upgrading of Powerline components (hydraulic pump, control valve): No compromise between power and compactness.
Vipps hydraulic system (v¡o progressive 3 pump system)
The vio38-6 is equipped with a Vipp hydraulic system (Vio Progressive 3 Pump System). This hydraulic system features the use of 4 hydraulic pumps, 2 variable displacement pumps and 2 gear pumps, including one for joysticks) to deliver total flow up to 111 l/min. To complete the system Yanmar uses a control valve based on the Vipp principle which cumulates the flow of separate pumps to maintain the optimal combination in terms of speed, power, smoothness and balance.
EASE OF USE PROPORTIONAL CONTROL OF THE AUXILIARY CIRCUIT
Standard equipment of the vio38-6 includes an auxiliary hydraulic circuit operated via a proportional control on the joystick that adjusts flow and direction of oil flow.

The second speed switch has also been laid on the blade lever to make it easier to use the machine.

Tyres / Tracks

COMPACTNESS
Yanmar, inventor of the vio concept, has an unmatched experience in developing Zero Tail Swing excavators. The vio38-6 is a genuine Zero Tail Swing mini excavator that allows full rotation of the upper frame within the width of the crawlers for maximum safety.
ADVANTAGES OF THE V¡O DESIGN
The vio38-6 offers the customers of yanmar true peace of mind, especially in urban environments with limited space. Neither the counterweight nor the front part of the upper frame project beyond the track width. With its front section The vio38-6 was designed to not extend itself has a very small turning radius. + Improved safety for both operators and side workers: critical on job sites. + Rear blind point reduced to a minimum: again increases safety for employees around the machine.
SECURITY AND DURABILITY
Safety valves for lifting + overload warning. FOPS 1 Front guard... Battery main switch... Anti-theft (button/keypad) - GPS tracking – translation alarm.
