The design of the cold milling machine W 200 F is focused on high levels of productivity, process reliability and digital transparency. The prime focus here is on the MILL ASSIST smart machine control system and the integration of the digital Wirtgen Group Performance Tracker, WPT Milling.

From surface layer rehabilitation to full-depth removal of road pavements: The Wirtgen cold milling machine W 200 F is a powerful and simultaneously cost-efficient solution for a broad spectrum of tasks in road construction. It combines high milling performance with innovative automation solutions and, in particular, addresses the needs of users looking for efficiency and flexibility in a compact machine concept.

MILL ASSIST increases productivity and ease of use

A key feature of the W 200 F is the MILL ASSIST machine control system. It automatically adapts key parameters such as the speed of the engine and milling drum, the travel drive, the water system and the machine advance rate to the respective operating conditions. The operator can also preselect one of the three operating strategies ‘ECO,’ ‘Performance-optimized’ or ‘Milling pattern quality’ for the upcoming application. The result is consistently maintained milling quality with simultaneously lower operating costs and a considerable reduction of the machine operator’s workload. 

WPT Milling: Real-time documentation

In addition to the MILL ASSIST machine control system, the automated documentation of milling tasks with Wirtgen Group Performance Tracker Milling, WPT Milling for short, also plays a major role. Maximum efficiency is achieved by the combination of both of these digital solutions. The operator is kept constantly informed about the current machine and job parameters. On completion of the work, these data are transmitted to the machine owner, who can then make use of them for quick and precise billing. In addition to displaying construction site and machine data, the automated documentation also shows the CO₂ emissions for the entire construction site. The John Deere Operations CenterTM presents all information in real time.

Modular milling system simplifies exchange of milling drum assemblies

Flexibility is one of the most critical requirements in day-to-day operations on construction sites. The milling drum of the W 200 F can be exchanged for a Multiple Cutting System (MCS) milling drum within just a few minutes. The ability to rapidly change to application-specific milling drums with different tool spacings considerably increases machine productivity. At the same time, the choice of the ideal milling drum for a specific application also reduces wear-related costs. Wirtgen offers a range of milling drums for the W 200 F that meet the requirements of all possible milling applications. Exchanging the milling drum assembly enables the realisation of milling widths ranging from 1.5 m to 2.2 m. With the aid of the quick-change system, the entire milling drum assembly can be exchanged in less than one hour.

LEVEL PRO Active ensures precise grade and slope control

The LEVEL PRO ACTIVE grade and slope control system was developed by Wirtgen specifically for cold milling machines. Clearly readable control panels provide information and measured values from all currently connected sensors and reduce the machine operator’s workload. The system is fully integrated in the control system of the cold milling machine and, as essential machine functions are directly interconnected, enables a high level of automation and precise milling results. The system also offers numerous automatic and additional functions that make the machine operator’s job easier, for instance, automatic lifting for driving over manhole covers.

Powerful performance meets sustainability

The machine is powered by a high-performance diesel engine that already delivers high torque at low engine speeds. The combination of smart energy management, an extended range of engine speeds and an improved cooling system enables significantly lower fuel consumption. In comparison with the previous model, this enables a reduction if the CO₂ emissions per cubic meter of milled material by up to 20 %. Further measures such as demand-regulated water dosing, reduced noise emissions and an efficient extraction system underscore the focus on resource-friendly operation.

Focus on ergonomics and user-friendliness

The spacious design of the operator’s platform with improved visibility, a flexible operating concept and powerful LED lighting ensures a comfortable and safe working environment. With the W 200 F, Wirtgen sets new standards in the large milling machine segment. The combination of automation, high performance, flexibility and cutting edge technology make the machine the ideal solution for the realisation of current and future road construction projects.
