3D machine control availability is now available for all 9 Series Crawler Excavators
Develon and Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, have made the Leica MC1 3D machine control solution available as an aftermarket kit for all Develon 9 Series Crawler Excavators. As part of their ongoing collaboration, the advanced system has been designed to integrate with Devlon's existing 2D sensors and calibration systems, enabling a smooth, efficient upgrade to 3D technology for customers across the entire Nine Series lineup
The Series Nine excavators feature an advanced, open control architecture that enables real-time communication between the excavator's built-in sensors and Leica Geosystems' 3D machine control systems.
Through this control-level integration, operators can access Leica Geosystems' precise 3D automation while continuing to benefit from Develon's 2D technologies, including Virtual Wall for defining safe operation boundaries, Weighing System for real-time load measurement and Advanced Lift Assist for improved lifting stability.
Stephane Dieu, product manager for Develon in Europe, said, "By expanding the availability of the Leica MC1 3D machine control solution to all 9 Series crawler excavators, Develon is reinforcing its commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction."
Neil Williams, president of the Machine Control Division at Leica Geosystems, said, “This partnership seamlessly integrates the advanced capabilities of Develon’s 2D systems with Leica Geosystems’ 3D technology. With an efficient installation and calibration process, this collaboration empowers customers to work smarter and achieve results faster."
