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.
