The system uses a standard panel whether fitted to a dozer, excavator or grader, which is also said to save money on training and equipment, as well as reducing down time.
Leica PowerDigger 2D system allows multiple elevations and slopes to be constructed at any orientation, witho
Leica Geosystems is aiming to improve compaction quality with its new machine control tool. The Leica iCON roller package can deliver benefits to both compaction quality and productivity. The package provides the compactor operator with an on-screen visualisation of completed passes, displaying where they have occurred and where more are needed for consistent results.
The different colours on the display show the operator where work has been carried and to what degree. Using this system means that costly
