DEVELON has hailed the success of the company’s first Demo Days event, held recently at a new site in Milovice close to Prague.
Over 600 customers and dealers attended the event, which provided an opportunity to try out the latest machines in working conditions.
Over 25 different models were available. Highlights included the first demonstration of autonomous equipment from a new collaboration between Develon and Gravis Robotics. The partnership aims to combine both companies’ expertise in AI-powered excavation and construction equipment technology to accelerate the development of autonomous excavation solutions.
Also appearing for the first time was a new aftermarket 3D machine control solution for the Develon DX225LC-7X ‘Smart’ crawler excavator, jointly developed by Develon and Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon. The DX225LC-7X features Full Electric Hydraulic (FEH) tech and an integrated 2D machine guidance and machine control system as standard equipment. The two companies have worked together to offer the Leica MC1 3D machine guidance system as a retrofit, specifically engineered to integrate with the Develon 2D sensors and calibrations on the DX225LC-7X.
Develon has entered the European dozer market with the launch of the new DD130-7 model, which was shown for the first time at Demo Days. One of the standout features is the visibility the model provides of the dozer blade. To facilitate this, the front engine compartment offers a narrower design.
Other new machines that were available to try included the DX10Z-7 one-tonne zero tail swing mini-excavator and the latest versions of the Develon crawler excavator range up to 53-tonne and the Develon DL-7 wheel loader range.
