New aftermarket 3D machine control solution
20 September 2024
Develon and Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, have announced a new aftermarket 3D machine control solution for the Develon DX225LC-7X ‘Smart’ crawler excavator.
The Develon DX225LC-7X excavator features Full Electric Hydraulic (FEH) technology and an integrated 2D machine guidance and machine control system as standard equipment.
In order to enhance efficiency, Develon is now offering the Leica MC1 3D machine guidance system as a retrofit, specifically engineered to integrate with the Develon 2D sensors and calibrations on the DX225LC-7X.
Stephane Dieu, Excavators Product Manager for Develon in Europe, said, “This joint effort empowers construction companies to seamlessly blend efficiency and sustainability, setting a new standard for innovation.”
The Leica MC1 machine control system is designed to assist the operator in precisely achieving the desired outcome. Design information and real-time cut/fill indications are displayed in the cab on the Leica MCP80 control panel, allowing operators to excavate to the reference model efficiently. The solution is said to ensure higher accuracy and operator satisfaction while increasing productivity and sustainability.
Neil Williams, President Machine Control Division at Leica Geosystems said that the announcement opens the doors, “to a future where construction industry leaders can embrace state-of-the-art technology, fostering sustainability and efficiency in their operations.”
