3d-gPs+, mmgps Plug-and-PlaY for Motor graders Grade Control Systems: Topcon 3D-GPS+ Automatic Grade Control System Komatsu motor graders offer excellent grading performance with their smooth precise hydraulics and long wheelbases. Want More? For road building, site work, contour grading, or any other complex surface grading requirements, put 3D-GPS+ to work. This 3D technology transfers grade information to the operator through a simple user interface to get you to grade - without the system needing grade stakes. To make sure the investment you make today will work for you in the future, Topcon employs their Building Block Design. This allows you to add new sensors, utilize new technologies, such as mmgps, and work within GPS networks without ever having to upgrade or purchase a new system. Features Rugged color touch-screen control box displays blade position and distance to design Real-time cut/fill mapping move material only once Backwards compatibility with existing Topcon grade control systems Easy user interface which allows for quick, accurate entry of offsets for cutting sub-grade Benefits Increase grading productivity significantly System operation doesn't require grade stakes Control materials to your advantage Complete projects on time or ahead of schedule mmgps Laser Zone Automatic Grade Control System Millimeter GPS combines the advantages of laser (high vertical accuracy) with GPS (3D) into one versatile and easy-to-use system. Unlike any other laser technology, the PZL-1 transmitter sends out a wall of light 33' tall and up to 2,000' in diameter. Simply add the PZS-MC machine control sensor to your existing GPS+ system, and watch your GPS vertical accuracy shrink down to numbers you never imagined before. You can link up to four PZL-1 transmitters for a total of 8,000' horizontally and 132' vertically. Unlike with total stations, multiple machines and man rovers run off one transmitter. 33 ft. (10 m.) 1,000 ft. (600 m.) Features Patented technology combines the advantages of both laser technology and GPS Large working range: up to 8,000' horizontal and 132' vertical Works with existing Topcon grade control systems Control multiple machines and rovers at the same time Very user-friendly Benefits Vertical accuracy of lasers, 3D capability of GPS Lower investment one system works for rough and finish grade Grade to tighter tolerances and eliminate high-cost material overruns Finish grade 24/7 even with minimal satellite coverage 2

3d-MC 2 Plug-and-PlaY for Crawler dozers Grade Control Systems: Topcon Twice The Speed, Twice The Accuracy Komatsu dozers are known as exceptional performing machines given their first rate hydraulic controls, low centers of gravity, long track on ground, and wide track gauges. These features make Komatsu dozers the perfect platform to harness Topcon s 3D-MC 2 automatic grade control system to achieve the grading performance you only dreamed of. Now 3D-MC 2 takes 3D-GPS+ machine control to a whole new level making your Komatsu dozer a highspeed, high-accuracy finishing tool! The secret to 3D-MC 2 s performance is a combination of a revolutionary new 3D-MC 2 sensor along with new control algorithms. And, to harness the capabilities of this technology is Topcon s familiar, easy to use operator interface. Conventional 3D system 3D-MC 2 system 3D-MC 2 will drastically change the role your dozer plays on a typical job site, and in some cases it may even replace the need for a motor grader. That means less machine operating time, translating into less fuel, less wear on a machine and most importantly, more time that can be spent working in other areas or job sites. Benefits Great performance at higher speeds Smoothness and grading accuracy comparable to motor graders Same easy-to-use interface as previous Topcon machine automation systems Productivity that you will have to see to believe How It Works 3D-MC 2 combines the GX-60 control box, GPS+ antenna, MC-R3 receiver, and innovative new inertial sensor all paired with advanced new controlling software. This new configuration measures the X,Y,Z position as well as the roll, pitch, yaw, and acceleration of the dozer to provide the most stable and responsive control system possible. The 3D-MC 2 Advantage Fine grading with a dozer has been typically done in first gear. Not anymore. Now you can move more material at higher speeds and at a tighter accuracy with one machine. That s the 3D-MC 2 advantage. The 3D-MC 2 sensor tracks and predicts blade movements in all directions - making for a fast, stable, and responsive control system. 4

What s the greatest source of delay on your jobs? Placing, and replacing stakes has been a necessary headache in construction, until now. GPS machine control combines two fantastic technologies, Satellite Positioning and Digital 3D models, so that your machine operators can see themselves moving on the site plan in real time, with cut/ fill information constantly displayed anywhere. This gives them much more information than stakes can, and faster. And now, one grade checker can work the whole site because the machines are independent. Everyone knows exactly where they are, and they have all the job information at their fingertips! That s stakeless grading! 5
X63 3D-GPS+ PLUG-AND-PLAY FOR EXCAVATORS X63 3D-GPS+ Indicate Grade Control System The X63 can even keep your excavator productive when waiting for a new 3D model or a change order to an existing model.
