3D Boundary Control

Work-restriction surfaces can be set with specified height, depth, front, back, and side boundaries. The excavator will stop automatically when it gets close to the specified restricted zone.

3D Boundary Control operates on a fixed 3D coordinate system designed in a project file, which means that the boundaries do not need to be reset, even when the machine is moving. This is extremely useful for complex job sites, as it can remember multiple restriction zones specific to each work area.

Key benefits:

Key benefits:

  • Prevents contact with high-voltage cables, adjacent buildings, or piping installed underground.
  • Reduces unnecessary stoppages to reset boundary limits since the boundary is set to the site conditions, rather than to the machine.
  • Increases operator productivity, as they don’t need to reset the boundary or second-guess their surroundings.
Auto Swing

Auto Swing

The auto swing feature automates the loading process. The machine automatically swings and lifts the bucket to the predefined position of the truck body. Once material is dumped, the excavator automatically swings back to the original digging point, ready for the next cycle.

Key benefits:

  • Reduces operator fatigue and allows them to focus on the next dig pass.
  • Increases cycle speeds.
  • Minimizes spillage and maximizes truck fill for consistent truck loading.
Enhanced Payload Operating System

Enhanced Payload Operating System

The bucket and dump payloads are displayed in real time, allowing the operator to perform work while checking payloads on the ICT monitor, enabling the management of payloads.

Key benefits:

  • Helps prevent insufficient loading.
  • Aids payload management.

Auto Stop Control

Auto stop control is designed to ensure excavation work is stopped right at the planned design surface.

Key benefits:

  • Increases efficiency by eliminating over-digging.
  • Reduces costly rework.
  • Enables new operators and bridges the skills gap.
  • Reduces operator mental fatigue.
  • Eliminates ground checking, reallocating skilled labour to more critical tasks.
