TIC VARIANT 260/280 Hydraulic System
Description of function:
Close tailgate Volume flow enters the valve block (6, port T) via port (801-2 B) and flows
to the lock-up valve unit non-return valve (734-1). The lock-up valve unit is opened. Pressurized oil flows into the rod spaces of hydraulic cylinders (318-1 and 318-2) via the opened lock-up valve unit non-return valve (734-1) and port D. The volume flow displaced from the ram spaces of hydraulic cylinders (318-1 and 318-2) flows into the tank via the shut-off taps (626 C and D), the flow controllers (756 and 755), the shut-off tap (627) and filter (102-1). The flow controller controls the returning volume flow to 18 l/min., making the tailgate closing velocity lower than the opening velocity.
Baling Baled material pulls the hydraulic cylinders (346-1, 346-2 and 345) to the
outside by means of the tensioning arms. This builds up baling pressure in the rod spaces of these cylinders. The pressure can be read on pressure gauge (912 baling pressure). The baling pressure enters valve block (6) via input (X). The baling pressure is applied at the baling pressure build-up solenoid valve (Y50). When the set baling pressure has been reached, the baling pressure build-up solenoid valve (Y50) opens, making volume flow flow via port (E) into the ram sides of hydraulic cylinders (346-1, 346-2 and 345). The hydraulic accumulator (513) compensates the volumetric difference.
Open tailgate Volume flow flows into valve block 6 (port P) via port (801-2 A), filter
(102-1) and the rotor clutch / 2
nd
belt drive shut-off tap (627). The volume flow flows via the open shut-off taps (626C and 626D) into the ram spaces of hydraulic cylinders (318-1 and 318-2), via ports (A and B). During this process, the flow rate is regulated to 50 l/min. by the flow controllers (756 and 755). At the same time, the lubricating oil pump (232) is supplied. Pressurized oil is tapped directly downstream of inlet (P) of valve block (6) which opens the lock-up valve unit non-return valve (734-1). The volume flow displaced from the rod spaces of hydraulic cylinders (318-1 and 318-2) flows through the open lock-up valve unit non-return valve (734-1) and port (T) to the quick release coupling (801-2 B). Downstream of the rotor clutch / 2nd belt drive shut-off tap (627), pressurized oil flows to the rotor cut-out clutch (338) and to the drive clutch (370) for roller 3. The clutches open so that the rotor and the drive of roller 3 are switched off while the tailgate is opened.

The volume flow displaced from the rod spaces of hydraulic cylinders (346-1, 346-2 and 345) flows to the baling pressure build-up solenoid valve (Y50) via port (X). This valve is electronically regulated to 0 bar when the tailgate is open and oil may therefore flow freely through it. The rod spaces and the ram spaces of the belt tensioner cylinders (346-1, 346-2 and 345) are now connected with each other. There is the same pressure in both cylinder spaces, but since the greater force is generated on the ram surface (greater by the force of the rod surface), the cylinders extend and relieve the belts.

The volume flow displaced from the ram spaces flows via port (E) and uses two different paths, depending on the pressure:
- when the pressure is above 10 bar, it flows into the tank via the
pressure relief valve (754), the flow controllers (756 and 755), port (P) and port (801-2 A).
- when the pressure is below 10 bar, the non-return valves (722-1,
722-2 and 722-3) open and provide volumetric compensation so that the tensioning arms can return to their initial position faster.
When maintenance work is finished, the tailgate is closed; during this, the belts must be driven so that they will not be squeezed.

Description of function:
Closing the tailgate – without active pressure control
Oil enters the valve block (6, port T) via port (801-2 B) and opens the
lock-up valve unit non-return valve (734-1). Via port D, the pressurized oil flows to the non-return valves (732-5 and 732-6) which are unlocked. The pressurized oil flows on into the rod spaces of hydraulic cylinders (318-1 and 318-2). The tailgate is closed. The oil displaced from the ram spaces of hydraulic cylinders (318-1 and 318-2) flows via the unblocked non-return valves (732-5 and 732-6), the shut-off taps (626 C and 626 D), the flow controllers (755 and 756), the shut-off tap (627) and filter (102-1) into the tank. The flow controllers (755 und 756) regulate the oil flow to 18 l/min. which reduces the closing time of the tailgate as compared with the opening time.
Closing the tailgate – with active pressure control
1. The pilot-controlled non-return valves (732-5 and 732-6) reliably seal off the tailgate cylinders. This is particularly important when performing service work while the tailgate is open. The tailgate can be closed only by building up pressure in port (801-2 B).
2. Via port (801-2 B), oil also flows into the rod spaces of hydraulic cylinders (345, 346-1 and 346-2) in order to retract the hydraulic cylinders quickly – the belts are tensioned. To this end, the non-return valves (732-1 and 732-2) are opened by the oil flow. The oil is applied at port X of the Baling pressure build-up solenoid valve (Y55) which is electronically regulated to 90 bar during the tailgate closing process. The oil displaced from the ram spaces of hydraulic cylinders (345, 346-1 and 346-2) is drained via the non-return valve (732-3), the shut-off tap (627) and port A. The pressure relief valve (754) is mechanically blocked = no function.
Baling Baled material pulls the hydraulic cylinders (346-1, 346-2 and 345) to the
outside by means of the tensioning arms. Baling pressure is thus built up in the rod spaces of these cylinders; this pressure can be read at pressure gauge (912). The baling pressure enters valve block (6) at inlet (X) and is applied to the Baling pressure build-up valve (Y50). When the set baling pressure has been reached, the Baling pressure build-up solenoid valve (Y50) opens, making oil flow via port (E) into the ram sides of hydraulic cylinders (346-1, 346-2 and 345). The hydraulic accumulator (513) compensates the volumetric difference between the cylinder sides.

During this process, the flow rate is regulated to 50 l/min. by the flow controllers (756 and 755). At the same time, the lubricating oil pump (232) is supplied. Pressurized oil is tapped directly downstream of inlet (P) of valve block (6) which opens the lock-up valve unit non-return valve (734-1) via a ram. The oil displaced from the rod spaces of hydraulic cylinders (318-1 and 318-2) flows through the open lock-up valve unit non-return valve (734-1) and port (T) to the quick release coupling (801-2 B). Downstream of the rotor clutch / 2nd belt drive shut-off tap (627), pressurized oil flows to the rotor cut-out clutch (338) and to the drive clutch (370) for roller 3. The clutches open so that the rotor and the drive of roller 3 are switched off while the tailgate is opened.
s early as when opening the tailgate, the pressure rises to above 90 bar. The pressure switch (Z17) opens. With this signal, the module regulates the Baling pressure build-up solenoid valve (Y50) to 0 bar. Now the rod spaces of hydraulic cylinders (345, 346-1 and 346-2) are pressureless and the belts are relieved – opening the tailgate is accelerated.
1. Switch on control box (baler CCT) so the Baling pressure build-up solenoid valve (Y50) is energized.

Description of function:
Closing the tailgate – without active pressure control
Oil enters the valve block (6, port T) via port (801-2 B) and opens the

The pressure switch (Z17) opens. With this signal, the module regulates the Baling pressure build-up solenoid valve (Y50) to 0 bar. Now the rod spaces of hydraulic cylinders (345, 346-1 and 346-2) are pressureless and the belts are relieved – opening the tailgate is accelerated.
1. Switch on control box (baler CCT) so the Baling pressure build-up solenoid valve (Y50) is energized.
2. Disengage the p.t.o. shaft.
3. Open the tailgate as far as necessary and secure it.
4. Actuate the shut-off valve (626):
The shut-off taps (626 C) and (626 D) of the tailgate are now blocked and shut-off tap (626 E) is open. Oil flows into valve block 6 (port P) via port (801-2 A), filter (102-1) and shut-off tap (627). Oil continues to flow via filter (102-2), non-return valve (732-4) and port (E) into the ram spaces of hydraulic cylinders (346-1, 346-2 and
345) through the open shut-off tap (626 E). The cylinders extend and the belts are relieved. The oil displaced from the rod spaces of hydraulic cylinders (346-1, 346-2 and 345) flows to the Baling pressure build-up solenoid valve (Y50) via port (X). This valve is electronically regulated to 0 bar when the tailgate is open and oil may therefore flow freely through it. The rod spaces and the ram spaces of the belt tensioner cylinders (346-1, 346-2 and 345) are now connected with each other. There is the same pressure in both cylinder spaces, but since the greater force is generated on the ram surface, the cylinders extend and relieve the belts.

When actuating the "Swing in knife support" button, the 2/3 way
directional control valve (Y55) "ROTOCUT knives IN" is energized. Oil flows into the ROTOCUT knives hydraulic cylinders (336) via port (801-1) and the energized 2/3 way valve. The ROTOCUT knives hydraulic cylinders (336) extend and swing in the knife support. The extended ROTOCUT knives hydraulic cylinders (336) are kept in thei position by the non-return valve inside the 2/3 directional control valve (Y54).
The single-acting tractor control unit is set to the "Lower" position – port

Description of function:
Closing the tailgate – without active pressure control
Oil enters the valve block (6, port T) via port (801-2 B) and opens the
lock-up valve unit non-return valve (734-1). Via port D, the pressurized oil flows to the non-return valves (732-5 and 732-6) which are unlocked. The pressurized oil flows on into the rod spaces of hydraulic cylinders (318-1 and 318-2). The tailgate is closed. The oil displaced from the ram spaces of hydraulic cylinders (318-1 and 318-2) flows via the unblocked non-return valves (732-5 and 732-6), the shut-off taps (626 C and 626 D), the flow controllers (755 and 756), the shut-off tap (627) and filter (102-1) into the tank. The flow controllers (755 and 756) regulate the oil flow to 18 l/min. which reduces the closing time of the tailgate as compared with the opening time.
Closing the tailgate – with active pressure control
1. The pilot-controlled non-return valves (732-5 and 732-6) reliably seal off the tailgate cylinders. This is particularly important when performing service work while the tailgate is open. The tailgate can be closed only by building up pressure in port (801-2 B).
2. Via port (801-2 B), oil also flows into the rod spaces of hydraulic cylinders (345, 346-1 and 346-2) in order to retract the hydraulic cylinders quickly – the belts are tensioned. To this end, the non-return valves (732-1 and 732-2) are opened by the oil flow. The oil is applied at port X of the Baling pressure build-up solenoid valve (Y55) which is electronically regulated to 90 bar during the tailgate closing process. The oil displaced from the ram spaces of hydraulic cylinders (345, 346-1 and 346-2) is drained via the non-return valve (732-3), the shut-off tap (627) and port A.
Baling Baled material pulls the hydraulic cylinders (346-1, 346-2 and 345) to the
outside by means of the tensioning arms. Baling pressure is thus built up in the rod spaces of these cylinders; this pressure can be read at pressure gauge (912). The baling pressure enters valve block (6) at inlet (X) and is applied to the Baling pressure build-up valve (Y50). When the set baling pressure has been reached, the Baling pressure build-up solenoid valve (Y50) opens, making oil flow via port (E) into the ram sides of hydraulic cylinders (346-1, 346-2 and 345). The hydraulic accumulator (513) compensates the volumetric difference between the cylinder sides.

During this process, the flow rate is regulated to 50 l/min. by the flow controllers (756 and 755). At the same time, the lubricating oil pump (232) is supplied. Pressurized oil is tapped directly downstream of inlet (P) of valve block (6) which opens the lock-up valve unit non-return valve (734-1) via a ram. The oil displaced from the rod spaces of hydraulic cylinders (318-1 and 318-2) flows through the open lock-up valve unit non-return valve (734-1) and port (T) to the quick release coupling (801-2 B).
