DEVELON and Leica Geosystems have announced a new aftermarket 3D machine control solution tailored for the Develon DD130-7 dozer.
The addition of the Leica MC1 3D system is tipped to further enhance operator accuracy and overall project productivity.
The Leica iCON iGD3 3D machine control solution integrates with Develon’s hydraulic controls, allowing operators to execute ‘precise’ grading and earthmoving tasks with ‘minimal rework’.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Leica Geosystems to bring the latest 3D machine control technology to our dozer lineup,” said Stephane Dieu, product manager for Develon in Europe. “This innovative solution boosts efficiency and operational excellence for our customers, enabling them to tackle more complex projects with confidence.”
The Leica MC1 3D machine control system is designed to simplify grading by providing real-time data and feedback. The system is displayed on the Leica MCP80 control panel, allowing operators to visualise the design and reference models directly from the cab. With the dual GNSS configuration, the DD130-7 dozer is said to benefit from ‘precise’ blade control and automatic adjustments for optimal cut/fill operations.
“We are excited to introduce the Leica MC1 3D solution for the DD130-7 dozer,” added Neil Williams, president of the machine control division at Leica Geosystems. “This collaboration offers unparalleled precision and sustainability for construction professionals. Our shared vision of innovation and efficiency in earthmoving is transforming job sites into more productive, safe and sustainable environments.”
