LEICA Geosystems has announced a new option for Caterpillar Next Gen Hydraulic (NGH) excavator users to leverage Leica’s 3D machine control solution with Cat Assist features.
Through this strategic cooperation, Leica Geosystems and Caterpillar now offer ‘simplified’ installation of the Leica MC1 3D machine control technology into the Caterpillar Next Gen 2D excavators.
The MC1 system is designed to help operators achieve the planned design. Design information and real-time cut/fill indications are displayed in the cab on the Leica MCP80 control panel, allowing operators to excavate to the reference design.
”Leica Geosystems’ leading GNSS positioning and software technology coupled with Caterpillar’s world class and powerful excavators provide a ready-to-use solution to construction professionals aiming to increase productivity on the jobsite,” said Rainer Bippen, OEM director at Leica Geosystems.
