I have started last week with the drawings for my new excavator. I am still working on the plans for the boom and the arm. All plans are based on the 1/16 scale model from Bruder. I am intending to make everything out of metal, except the cabine.
I made two versions of the bucket.
The standard Bruder one

and one which has a quick coupler

the undercarriage design is almost complete. I am waiting from my CTI parts to arrive so I can make sure that all motors fit into it.

I hope that all my CTI parts will come soon, so I can get all the parts created. I can't wait to put the prototype together. I might need to order several sets to bring the cutting cost down (hope to get a quote of the cutting this week)
will update you on the progress

Nice project.
So you want to use these CTI-motors? >CLICK<
I'm not sure if these motors are strong enough for an excavator made of metal.
Usually, the RB35 motors from Conrad or Servonaut are used in those excavators. |
Thanks for the warning Marcel. I might keep the CTI motors for my bruder model and put the RB35 in the metal version.
I wonder if the CTI zylnders would be strong enough otherwise I will have to go to hydraulics. I prefer to have an oil free excavator

I finally completed the drawings for the cat 320. I have sent the cad files off to get the parts cut by the water jet. All parts will be made out of aluminum.
The parts kit I created contains:
- 4 buckets in different sizes
- undercarriage (excl. chains)
- cabin and body of the excavator
- baseplate for boom
- boom
- arm
if you are interested in the kit, let me know. if i have several people who want the kit, I should get a better price for the kits.

Holiday season is over! so I will make some time available to continue my project. Yesterday I received all my Aluminium parts.
Total weigth of the parts is 4.5Kg and all together 482 pieces.
I still need to clean up the parts with some sanding paper to remove traces from the laser cutting.
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/IMG_2045.jpg)
I have 3 sizes of buckets that will come with the kit
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/IMG_2046.jpg)
I added a few CAT logo's. That is always nice to create the final touch
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/IMG_2048.jpg)
Once I complete the sanding I will start putting some pictures and explain step by step the building process.

day 2.
I started to built the boom and the arm and the body/cabin of the excavator. I started by preparing a few 4mm rods with a length of 50mm to hold the boom and arm parts together until all pieces are fitted. I still need to put the 2 mm screws in.
I sorted all the parts needed for the arm
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2051.jpg)

![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2061.jpg)
and finally the side plates to complete the arm.
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2062.jpg)
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2063.jpg)

![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2065.jpg)
For the boom it went just as easy. I put everything temporary together for now. I will still need to buy the screws.
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2067.jpg)
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2068.jpg)
Four units in the middle and then the 2 cylinder attachment plates added
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2069.jpg)
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2070.jpg)

![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2073.jpg)
that is how the arm looks when completed (without the screws)
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2075.jpg)
and the arm and boom fitted together
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2076.jpg)
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2077.jpg)

![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2080.jpg)
I wanted to do only the boom and the arm today but when they were completed I couldn't resist to start working on the cabin and got quiet a parts fitted together
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2081.jpg)
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2083.jpg)
I have created an inlay to help with the fixation for all the body parts.
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2085.jpg)
Here a picture with the 2 inlays mounted

![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2095.jpg)
I still have quiet a way to go to add all the backparts for the body
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2096.jpg)
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2097.jpg)

![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2101.jpg)
I use a 2 mm threaded rod to assemble and fix all the backplates. Its pretty easy and very ridged.
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2102.jpg)

![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2104.jpg)
the body is starting to take shape
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2105.jpg)
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2106.jpg)
so far everything is still put together temporary. I have used some tape to recover my clamps as I will need them later in the built.
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2107.jpg)
and this is the end result of todays work !!
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day2/IMG_2108.jpg)
I won't be able to do any more work until next week. I have a busy weekend coming up. I promise that I will continue next week and post some more pictures.

I am getting a lot of private messages asking for a copy of the drawings. I am not planning to sell any of the drawings. I spent months creating them and will not sell them. So please do not PM me asking for the drawings. If you want me to cut the parts for you, that's a different thing and I am willing to look into that.
Here is how the body looks with all the counter weight plates in place.
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day3/DBD5A994-F6A3-488B-A5F5-4B186641FD95-9530-00000770016C0024.jpg)
I also cut out a few logo's to add on the body and boom
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day3/4943908E-F2D4-432A-A646-61362FFB2B8E-9530-0000077019A9946C.jpg)

the body is nearly finished. I still need to cut out he baseplate and parts to hold the boom.

For the 360 degree swing, I have made two round plates which I will mount a slip ring on with a motor and gear.

day 4
I started putting together the undercarriage.
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day4/EBB69AB1-02D6-44A6-A80B-141E9E80F221-9530-0000078CD935140A.jpg)
No welding or no glue. base, top and side plates connect with the interlocking system. if you desire to, you can still weld it or apply glue.
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day4/4AA464A5-5E8B-4C9C-BA4A-9C78D9EE380D-9530-0000078CD5297D55.jpg)
I am going to install two small motors in the main compartment of the undercarriage. These motors will then drive a chain that runs in the chain compartment as in the picture below.

On each side I have foreseen 3 plates to mount the top track guidance rollers

wow.
Sorry, but my english is not so good, i`ve learnt a little bit in scool 40 years ago.
Verry nice work, all in sandwitch form constructet parts.
I think its a dificult work all this parts bring to paper.
Thats perfekt work on a upper level.
i can understand that you not give it to any other for copy.
its a hard thing to construct it any moth.
Its a real great work.

Hier alle Teilen für die 4 Löffeln
Below all the parts for the 4 buckets
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day7/70739506-E559-4A78-BB0E-B9CC6FFBEE58-1324-000000D99396F80C.jpg)
I spent a few days thinking how to bend the bucket shape to allow a nice fit with the laser cute sides.
I did not wanted to apply heat to bend the aluminum plates. I also didn't wanted to use a hammer. So I made a very handy tool out of some scrap material I had in my workshop. And it did the job very well.
I did a test bend first with some 1,5mm aluminum first before starting to bend the laser cut 2mm plates.
Here is the result
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/day7/037E2B5E-1EC6-4F65-B928-EC23549170F8-1324-000000D99848A92E.jpg)
So I did all 4 of them in 2mm. This is how the smallest bucket looks like

and then finally the largest bucket

This is the device I made to bend the buckets. Is made out of 50mm tubing and MDF scrap material.

I prepared all the buckets for welding with Easyweld. Once that is done, the second side plates will come on

I finished off the boom yesterday:

Then I cut a small part of the back of the seat to make it fit perfectly in the cabin:

I measured the distances for the cylinders. Now I can start ordering them.
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/misc/measurementshydraulics.png)
The manufacturer finished off a few more kits. Quiet impressive what the laser can do...
![](http://i1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg543/kovadest/ALU%20parts/misc/6207A4ED-9873-4FFA-B799-99AD108FF551-10704-000006BE29059C73.jpg)
The placement of the parts on the Aluminum sheets are showing quiet some space between the parts. Fitting parts closer to each other will not give a great end result due to the heat generated by the cutting process.
