ENGCON has announced it is strengthening its collaboration with Komatsu, focusing on simplifying installation and reducing overall costs for end users of the Komatsu Dash 12 excavator series.

The move sees engcon DC3 tiltrotators integrate with Komatsu’s machine control systems to deliver ‘superior precision and responsive control’.

The combination is designed to unlock the full potential of Komatsu’s intelligent Machine Control 3.0, offering semi-automatic control of the rotation and tilting of the bucket. It also includes features such as posture hold control, which automatically maintains attachment orientation.

Sam Ryan, gobal OEM manager, engcon, said, “This collaboration marks a significant step toward smarter, more efficient excavation solutions, combining Komatsu’s advanced machine control with engcon’s tiltrotator technology.”

Rob Macintyre, product manager at Komatsu Europe, added, “Komatsu is committed to enabling the seamless integration of attachments that offer significant customer value. Through partnership with engcon, we are advancing our commitment to provide integrated solutions that help customers work more productively and flexibly.”

The Komatsu Dash 12 series currently includes the PC220LC-12 and PC220LCi-12 models, with more additions to follow.

The new solution will be available from January.
