Kmax Tooth System

Kmax – Ground Engaging Tools (G.E.T.) – Kmax Tooth System

For excavators from 12 tonnes up to 80 tonnes For wheel loaders from 120 HP up to 800 HP

Optimized Machine Komatsu takes care of every aspect of your machine. That includes offering the most advanced, most reliable and best fitting parts to optimize machine performance and lower your total cost of operation. We also offer the highest expertise on parts and complete machines, helping you maintain outstanding productivity levels and the high value of your Komatsu machine. The Kmax tooth system is another example of our commitment to helping you get the most from your machine. The most efficient solution for all digging applications, Kmax optimizes bucket performance and makes changing teeth quick and easy.

Sharp Kmax has a unique sharp system profile. The slim teeth extend well beyond the bucket edge, while the adapters have a rounded shape. And the join between the tooth and adapter is very smooth. Together, these features ensure the teeth penetrate easily and material flows smoothly in and out of the bucket.

Kmax For excavators from 12 tonnes up to 80 tonnes For wheel loaders from 120 HP up to 800 HP

Strong – Kmax has an excellent size to strength ratio. Its smooth surfaces avoid the stress concentrations common in other systems. The adapter nose is computer designed for maximum resistance to shock loads. Thanks to these features, Kmax is both very slim and very strong.

Easy – Kmax features a unique, easy-to-use fastener that guarantees secure locking. No more heavy hammer blows, it can be removed from the adapter hole with a simple tap and inserted by hand. The lock is firmly secured by a device similar to a door latch. Safe to use, the lock lets you change teeth quickly and easily – saving time and money. 3

Optimized Technology Kmax is sharper – Kmax is the only tooth system with a rounded profile, an extended shape and very smooth tooth-to adapter transitions. This produces a very slim system that cuts easily through any material. The extended shape keeps the teeth sharp much longer. And the slim adapter profile reduces material build up around the adapter.

Kmax Tooth System Kmax is stronger With Kmax, the tooth is fully stabilized on the adapter nose. Moreover, the system features a full metal lock and smooth surface transitions. This means the adapter nose can be slimmer than in traditional systems while still being enormously strong. Thanks to a highly advanced steel casting technology, Kmax is made from the hardest steels with the maximum resistance to breakage.

The steel lock can take extreme loads. The horizontal lock cavity reduces stress on the adapter nose.

Smooth transitions keep stress loads low.

The tooth is fully stabilized on the adapter nose.

Kmax is easier Kmax is locked with a latch. This ensures the easiest, safest and most secure locking method for a hammer-less system. No prying or special tools are needed. The teeth can be changed quickly and with minimal effort.

Optimized Applications 1-1/2 leg adapter The 1-1/2 leg adapter is used on excavators and medium to large loaders. It provides maximum strength.

Flush mount adapter The flush mount adapter is used on small to medium loaders and some excavators. It provides a flush cut underneath the bucket.

Notched corner adapter The notched corner adapter is easy to weld in the corners of the bucket. It provides a clean cut at the bucket sides.

6

Adapters L & T-shape corner adapters The ‘L-shape’ corner adapter is a non-symmetrical, heavy-duty corner adapter for tough applications. The ‘T-style’ corner adapter is a symmetrical, very heavy-duty corner adapter for very tough applications. One style fits both left and right corners.

Straddle corner adapter Straddle corner adapters can be welded in after completing the bucket shell. This saves time and money, and provides a stronger solution. These symmetrical adapters fit both left- and right-side corners.

7

Optimized Applications RC (Rock Chisel) tooth RC is a heavy-duty tooth for standard to tough applications.

SYL (Sharp, ribbed) tooth SYL is a general-purpose tooth for all standard applications.

T (Tiger) tooth T is a very pointed tooth that can be used where increased penetration is needed, for example, in compacted or frozen materials.

WT (Twin Tiger) tooth WT is a double-pointed tooth that provides clearance at the bucket sides. It can be used together with the T-style tooth. It can also be used at all adapter locations for scraping applications.

UT (Twin Tiger ‘U’) tooth UT is a double-pointed tooth that features an extralong lifetime.

8

Teeth F (Flare) tooth F is a wide tooth for loading soft materials.

TV tooth TV is a sharp tooth that can be used for scraping work, when wear is concentrated at the tip of the tooth.

BPS tooth BPS is a double-rib tooth with increased resistance to breakage.

RP (Rock Penetrator) tooth RP is a non-symmetric tooth for rock applications and is used on loaders. It has extra steel on the bottom and works well with segments between the adapters.

RPX tooth RPX is a non-symmetric heavy duty quarry tooth for loaders. It features a special distribution of the wear metal to provide extra wear life.
