Users can benefit from Topcon 3D machine control functionality together with Cat Assist features. This allows simplified installation of the Topcon aftermarket system into Caterpillar’s existing 2D excavator systems. The technology is available through Caterpillar and Topcon dealers.

The Topcon system is designed to provide real-time, dynamic, on-screen bucket location and design views, resulting in the operator cutting grade faster and more accurately. The operator can create, cut, and check designs directly from the cab.
