Introduction
The Case 580K Super CM is a backhoe loader that was produced and sold by Case Corporation in 1992. It was designed to be a versatile machine for use in a variety of construction applications. This article will provide a comprehensive analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the features and specifications of the Case 580K Super CM.
SideShift or CenterMount CM
One of the features of the Case 580K Super CM is the SideShift or CenterMount CM. This is a unique design that enables the operator to shift the backhoe from side to side for greater accuracy when digging. This feature is a significant advantage as it allows the operator to dig more efficiently and effectively. The SideShift or CenterMount CM allows the operator to excavate in tight and more challenging areas with ease. It also allows the operator to dig alongside walls, fences, or other structures without the need to reposition the entire machine.
SAE dig depth
The Case 580K Super CM has an SAE dig depth of 4360 mm. This is an advantage for the operator, as it allows for deeper digging and a larger range of applications. The SAE dig depth means that the machine can dig to a depth of 4360 mm before it needs to be repositioned. This makes it easier for the operator to reach deeper below the surface and excavate more material at once.
Reach @ ground level
The reach at ground level of the Case 580K Super CM is 6610 mm. This long reach is an advantage for the operator, as it allows for more extensive excavation without the need to reposition the machine. This feature is particularly useful when the machine is used in open areas such as fields where the operator can excavate more freely without the need to maneuver around obstacles.
Loading height
The loading height of the Case 580K Super CM is 3280 mm. This is an advantage for the operator, as it allows the machine to load material onto higher trucks and trailers. The increased loading height also allows the operator to place the excavated material into higher dump trucks, saving time and effort.
Bucket width, min-max
The bucket width range of the Case 580K Super CM is 305-914 mm. This range is an advantage as it allows the operator to work with a variety of materials of different sizes and densities. The smaller sized bucket allows for more precise excavation, while the larger sized bucket allows the operator to handle larger quantities of materials.
Bucket breakout
The maximum bucket breakout for the Case 580K Super CM is 5140 kgf, while the maximum dipper breakout is 3060 kgf. This is an advantage as it allows the operator to excavate dense and hard material with ease.
Slew System
The Case 580K Super CM comes equipped with a hydraulic cylinder slew system. This system allows for precise positioning of the backhoe arm, which is an advantage for excavation in tighter spaces. The hydraulic cylinder slew system also allows the operator to achieve greater accuracy and control during excavation.
Loader Bucket Capacity
The loader bucket capacity of the Case 580K Super CM is 0.95 m3. This is an advantage as it allows the operator to handle larger quantities of materials when using the loader function. This feature is particularly useful when loading or unloading trucks or when moving large amounts of material around the worksite.
Dump height
The dump height of the Case 580K Super CM is 2840 mm. This is an advantage as it allows the operator to dump the excavated material into higher dump trucks, saving time and effort. The increased dump height also means that the operator can dump the material into trucks parked further away from the excavation site.
Engine Power
The Case 580K Super CM is equipped with a Case 4T390 engine with a power of 59 kW at 2200 rpm. This engine power is an advantage as it provides ample power to the machine for efficient digging and loading. The powerful engine also means that the machine can handle heavy loads and dense materials with ease.
Pump type and flow
The Case 580K Super CM comes equipped with a 2xGear pump type with a flow rate of 125 liters per minute. This pump type and flow rate is an advantage as it provides fast and efficient hydraulic power to the machine, allowing for quicker digging and loading.
Transmission and drive
The transmission type for the Case 580K Super CM is PS TC, with the option for 2WD or 4WD drive. This is an advantage as it allows the operator to choose the drive type that is most appropriate for the worksite conditions. The PS TC transmission is also useful as it provides smooth and efficient gear shifting, making it easier for the operator to control the machine.
Ride control and travel dimensions
The Case 580K Super CM does not come equipped with ride control. However, the machine has a travel length of 5520 mm, a travel height of 3340 mm, and a width of 2360 mm. The travel dimensions are an advantage as they allow the machine to move through tight spaces and navigate around obstacles with ease.
Turn circle radius without brakes
The turn circle radius without brakes for the Case 580K Super CM is 10570 mm. This is a disadvantage as it requires more space for the machine to maneuver, particularly when turning around in tight spaces.
Operating weight and model
The operating weight of the Case 580K Super CM is 6560 kg. The model was first introduced in 1992. The weight is an advantage as it provides stability and makes the machine less likely to tip over during operation. The model’s introduction year should not be considered a disadvantage as the machine’s features and specifications are still relevant and effective today.
Overall Assessment
The Case 580K Super CM is a versatile machine with many advantages such as the SideShift or CenterMount CM, maximum dig depth, reach at ground level, loading height, bucket width range, bucket and dipper breakouts, slew system, loader bucket capacity, dump height, and engine power. However, the machine’s turn circle radius without brakes is a disadvantage as it requires more space to maneuver. Despite this disadvantage, the Case 580K Super CM is a reliable and efficient machine that can handle a variety of materials and work environments.
