The Fundamental Differences of 2D and 3D Excavator Machine Control Systems When looking to invest in the best excavator control systems, there are fundamental differences between 2D and 3D machine guidance systems which, when optimised, can facilitate greater job productivity, accuracy, and efficiency. Each excavator control system will aim to fulfil the same essential function – tool positioning, however, both methodologies do not yield equal results. The primary point of difference is broken down to how both 2D and 3D variants utilise different technology to provide positioning assistance and guidance solutions. 2D Control Systems commonly take advantage of both physical landmarks and laser technology to reference benchmarks throughout the excavation process while 3D Control Systems have the advantage
When Karl Lloyd joined C W Glasgow Contractors in November 2018, he was searching for a GNSS system to use on site to help with construction set out, topographical surveys and as-builts. The Sokkia GRX3 GNSS receiver was new to the market and Alex from Aptella offered an onsite demonstration. “Alex was more than happy for us to import the design data into the system and we used it to set out the first 100m of the stream alignment; Alex even banged the pegs in for us!” said Mr Lloyd. C W Glasgow Contractors is currently working on a range of projects. One of these projects is the Taiaotea Environmental Enhancement based in Sherwood Reserve, Browns Bay. The
Gavin Schrock from xyHt gave a detailed and objective review of Sokkia’s GCX3, commonly known as ‘the Bullet’ for it’s compact form factor, speed and precision. I’ll cut straight to the punchline: this little unit performed as well as many of the high-end (and pricier) GNSS rovers I’ve tried, both as a base-rover pair and as a network rover. And I had way too much fun test driving it. Check out the full review here My test drive was by no means a tightly controlled scientific study. But even that minimal data has me convinced that this is a serious and viable system, one that surveyors should consider and test drive themselves (as with any gear). So,
Machine guidance is used in the waste management industry to optimise compaction and give waste facility managers real time data to ensure fill plans are being followed safely and to design. Used widely in large metro waste management facilities, machine guidance adoption rates for landfill operations is increasing steadily with council and privately- operated sites realising the productivity gains that can be achieved with this simple yet valuable tool. One such progressive facility is managed by Toowoomba Regional Council to the west of Brisbane in South East Queensland. The waste facility services a population of around 130,000 people and manages 50,000 tonnes per year. “Safe and efficient use of our council waste facility is important to ensure its
Topcon machine control technology will provide you with the flexibility to mix and match your grader solution to suit different applications at different stages of the project you’re working on. With many of the new graders in Australia arriving from the factory or dealer with the option for an integrated system and basic machine control technology already installed, it is more important than ever to ensure you have the best solution on your grader that will not only suit your current needs but also has the ability to grow with your business. If you rely on a factory fitted system, you may be limited by the fact that these systems are often not upgradeable or transferable between machines,
