A pumping unit for a machine to distribute concrete includes a pair of cylinders provided with a relative pumping piston movable linearly for a determinate travel to feed the concrete to a determinate circuit to distribute the concrete; and a hydraulic command circuit operatively connected to both the cylinders, to determine an alternate pumping movement of the relative pumping pistons. The pumping unit includes at least a sensor member operatively associated to at least one of the cylinders in order to detect point-by-point one or more data relating to the operating condition of the pumping piston during its movement for the whole travel. The data includes at least one of position, speed, stress and direction of movement of the relative piston.

Pumping unit for a machine to distribute concrete

The device to actively control the vibrations of an articulated arm consisting of a plurality of segments each comprising at least its own actuator associated with a hydraulic drive circuit including a block valve. At least one of said actuators is associated with an hydraulic control circuit of the vibrations, comprising at least a sensor able to detect the vibrations and/or the position of one or more segments, a processing unit to process the signals of the sensor/sensors and a pump commanded by the electronic command board and cooperating with said block valve. The hydraulic control circuit is associated with the hydraulic drive circuit.
