Komatsu IMC Excavator Features

Assists the operator in aligning the bucket parallel with the slope, so finish grading can be accomplished without having to align the machine with the target surface.

Provides real-time position that is immediately displayed to the operator. This is an improvement over conventional aftermarket machine guidance (indicate only) systems with tilt sensors that require time to stabilize.

Your operators can finish grade quickly and accurately with a bucket angle hold control that automatically holds the bucket angle to the design surface during arm operation, enabling operators to perform finish grading using only arm input.

To help eliminate potential damage during boom or bucket operation, the machine automatically stops when the bucket edge reaches the design surface.

IMC controls the bucket by automatically selecting the point closest to the target surface, which minimizes operator input while providing higher accuracy and grading confidence.

The monitor of Komatsu Intelligent Machine Control (control box) uses a large touchscreen for visibility and ease of use. The simple screen layout displays the necessary information in an easily understood fashion. Touch screen icon interface instead of multi-step menu simplifies the operation.

A fully integrated grade assist automatically traces the target surface to minimize over digging. A built-in facing angle compass ensures the machine is aligned with the target surface.

Semi-auto/manual mode switching and design surface offset function can be operated with switches on the control levers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Intelligent Machine Control Excavators

When autos are engaged, if any part of the bucket comes in contact with the design surface, the work equipment automatically stops. As the operator pulls back on the arm, the boom will automatically raise. These features minimize over-excavation to the design surface.

Use semi-automatic excavators for trenching, slope work and high production applications.

With the auto grade assist function, the operator moves the arm, the boom adjusts the bucket height automatically, tracing the target surface and minimizing digging too deep. Auto grade assist allows the operator to perform rough digging without worrying about design surface, and to perform fine digging by operating the arm lever only. The working range is expanded by holding the lever to move the boom downward.

During boom or bucket operation, the work equipment automatically stops when the bucket edge reaches the design surface, thus preventing damage to the design surface. Bucket edge positioning is also made easy.
