3D-MC2
Twice the speed, twice the accuracy - over any 3D Machine Control Dozer
four times more productive than a manual dozer
Topcon’s 3D-MC2 shatters the final 3D automation production barrier - SPEED!
- • Increase speeds up to 200% over existing 3D Systems
- •Smoothness and grading accuracy comparable to Motorgraders
- •Same easy-to-use interface as previous Topcon Machine automation systems
- •Unmatched productivity that you will have to see to believe!
Think
about it: what would it mean to your company’s bottom line to have a
single dozer doing the work of two 3D dozers at speeds and smoothness
comparable to a grader; to save time and money on every pass and every
job? With 3D-MC
2, it’s not just possible, it’s guaranteed!
So revolutionary, it’s reshaping traditional machine roles
3D-MC2 will drastically change the role your dozer
plays on a typical site, in some cases eliminating the need for a
grader. It will also allow you to make more efficient use of your
dozer. Along with speed increases, 3D-MC2 means fewer passes
resulting in much more work done in less time. Less time equals less
fuel and less machine wear. Most importantly, it means your dozer can
spend more time making you money in another location or on other jobs.
How it Works
3D-MC2 utilizes Topcon’s GX-60 control box, GPS+ antenna, MC-R3 receiver and new 3D-MC2 sensor and pairs them with advanced new controlling software to provide position updates up to 100 times per second. The MC2
sensor combines a gyro, compass and inertial sensor to measure the X, Y
& Z position as well as the roll, pitch, yaw and acceleration of
the dozer.
If
it sounds like rocket science, it’s because in many ways it is. But
your operator’s won’t find it any more difficult to use than the MC
systems they’re already familiar with. In fact, if they’ve used the
competition's systems, they’ll find Topcon’s 3D-MC2 a whole lot easier to use!
Improved Operator Performance
3D-MC2 is built on our easy to use GX-60 interface.
This interface has proven so easy to use that customers tell us their
less experienced operators are able to perform near the level of their
skilled operators.
GX-60 - the World’s easiest-to-use operator’s interface
Topcon’s G63 and Z63 3D grade control systems feature the most
advanced Operator interface available, Topcon’s GX-60 touch sensitive
control box. Light and compact with a full-color LCD touch sensitive
screen, Topcon’s GX-60 is a fully functioning Windows® computer that
provides the operator with real-time grade information and control.
Constructed of a strong cast housing and sealed internals, the GX-60
will be a refreshingly simple alternative to other operator interfaces.
GX-60 control box features include:
•512 Mb Internal Compact Flash Drive
•650 MHz Intel CPU
•Windows XP Operating System
•USB, Ethernet, RS-485, CAN, and RS-232 ports
•Sealed Housing with Gortex Vent
•Audio Speaker
•Internal Backup Battery
•Ambient Light Sensor for Sharp Contrast on the Display
•Bluetooth Wireless Technology
MC-R3 – Machine Control Receiver 3
Topcon’s MC-R3 is the heart of Topcon’s 3D GPS+ system.
Providing either solid brackets for permanent mounting or magnetic
mounting for portability, the MC-R3 contains all of the GPS receivers,
radios, and controllers in a single “built to last” housing. A built-in
MINTER panel provides status lights and function keys for easy
performance verification and system checks. The MC-R3 also features an
Ethernet port, increased processing power over the previous generation
box, and additional valve drivers to account for the widest array of
machine compatibility.
