On a typical application the system comprises of three inclinometer sensors which are attached to the boom, stick and 'dog bone' on an excavator.

The three sensors create a virtual triangle and use trigonometry to calculate the exact position of the bucket teeth. This simple concept allows machine operators to see the position of the excavator arm and bucket on the in cab display.

Simple 'cuts' can be entered into the display and with guidance from the system can be achieved quickly and precisely using a point on the ground as a datum.

Complex single or duel grades can also be achieved either by entering the desired grade on the system display screen, or by working to a rotating grade laser.

The system reduces the need for banksmen, and reduces engineering time as batter boards and rails become a thing of the past.

Benefits of the 2D System
Users are often surprised by Machine Control; how one small system can drastically impact on their projects. The system uses the latest in technology and provides a scalable machine control solution which can provide the following benefits:

• Reduce Fuel Consumption
• Speed Up Excavation Work
• Improve Quality and Accuracy of Earthworks
• Eliminate Over-Digging
• Reduce Material Wastage
• Reduce the need for Stakes and Batter Rails

With the 2D system we are able to excavate more accurately, complete your project in fewer passes, eliminate over excavation and the associated costs and reduce overall project expenditure.

The 3D system is an IT System which coordinates data from a global positioning system (GPS) or a total station with the machine's sensor system. The 3D system is fully compatible with the 2D sensors.

The system can calculate the bucket or blade's position and compare this data with the theoretical model and then display the difference between the two graphically or convert it to signals that control the machine's hydraulic system.

Introducing the 3D system reduces the need for surveying technicians and replaces expensive total stations and laser setups previously used.

Advanced Control System

We have a specialist advanced control system which we connect to our smaller machine called Swingotilt®.

Swingotilt® is equipped with an advanced and integrated control system, which makes endless rotation and tilting of up to 40° in each direction possible.

This is done by the driver from the cab using buttons integrated in the normal operating levers which functions like a ball joint between the excavator's point and an attached tool, for example, a bucket, and makes it easy to pass obstacles, and simplifies moving heaps, planing, lifting etc.

It means that the need to reposition and for manual assistance is radically reduced.

It is only the driver's imagination that limits what Swingotilt® can be used for. In addition, safety is improved not only for the driver but for everyone around the excavator.
