 2D GRADE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR MOTOR GRADERS AND DOZERS

GCS900 is a highly flexible, cross slope and elevation control system designed to be used on motor graders for fine grading work. The system uses two angle sensors and one rotational sensor to calculate the cross slope of either side of the blade, as well as a laser receiver or a sonic tracer to provide elevation control. The GCS900 system is ideal for applications with tight tolerances and finished grade work. When you use a control box with the GCS900 system, you get software with a powerful range of features specifically designed for lift and/or tilt control on dozers and motor graders. Applications include:
  • Small-to-large housing and building site pads
  • Road construction
  • Highway construction and maintenance
  • Runways
  • Embankments
  • Road ditches



2D GRADE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR EXCAVATORS

The GCS900 system for excavators indicates depth and slope, or a combination of both, using pipe lasers, rotating lasers, and transits. You control the and carry out desired depth or slope without a grade checker in the ditch. This capability significantly reduces the costs and downtime associated with staking or in-the-ditch grade checking and increases site safety by eliminating the need for a person to be present near the operating excavator. Applications include:
  • Excavating basements, foundations and footers
  • Flat bottom and simple slope trenching
  • Flat and simple slope grading and embankments
  • Profile excavation and canals or batters




3D AUTOMATIC GRADE CONTROL SYSTEM

The GCS900 Grade Control System represents the next-generation 3D system. GCS900 is a cutting-edge earthmoving grade control system that puts design surfaces, grades and alignments inside the cab. The system uses GPS, GPS and laser, or construction total station technology to accurately position the blade or bucket in real time, significantly reducing material overages and dramatically improving the contractor's productivity and profitability.

The GCS900 system is extremely flexible and can be used on excavators, dozers, motor graders, compactors, scrapers, trimmers, and milling machines to provide blade control to the desired accuracy, as shown below:
  • The Smart GPS Antenna provides blade control to 20-30 millimeters (0.1 foot)
  • The Universal Total Station provides blade control to 2-5 millimeters (0.007 to 0.016 feet)
  • GPS with Laser Augmentation provides blade control to 3-6 millimeters (0.01 to 0.02 feet)



FLEET AND ASSET MANAGEMENT

The VisionLink fleet and asset management solution features user-friendly management tools combined with GPS-based positioning and cellular technology to provide near real-time equipment performance information. VisionLink provides an overview of machine health, fuel management and working utilization by bringing together a range of information, including:
  • Machine health and maintenance
  • Location and hours
  • Events
  • User defined alerts
