265 Leica Geosystems is now offering a package that allows accurate position monitoring of hydraulic attachments.

The Leica iCON excavate package now supports the tilt rotator control systems manufactured by SVAB. The SVAB technology allows the Leica iCON excavate iXE2 and iXE3 multifunctional 2D and 3D control systems to read the rotation value through the SVAB MACS software. The iCON 3D system can read and calculate the bucket’s rotation and accurately guide the operator to the required grade.

  • Boosting the efficiency of tiltrotator use with Trimble
    December 11, 2018
    The Trimble Earthworks system now allows excavator operators using tiltrotators to use automatic machine control, which can help to boost productivity. When tiltrotators are used with Trimble Earthworks for Excavators, the bucket position and orientation are visible regardless of bucket rotation. The operator can see the height and the rotation relative to the design, so the attachment can be more efficient. With this latest development, Trimble Earthworks can automate the tilt functions of a tiltrotator.
