Topcon Positioning Group announces the release of major updates to its flagship 3D dozer machine control system—3D-MCMAX. The innovative inertial measurement unit- (IMU) based system, without a mast needed for the blade, is now available for more configurations and diverse applications.
Initially released in 2016 with support for 6-way dozers, now Topcon is introducing another first in the industry with support for the 4-way pusher class of dozers.
The update also includes the introduction of an optional third IMU, enabling pitch controlled blade systems support. The third IMU is also available as an addition designed to improve performance on steep inclines. Additional new features include improved blade wear management. Previously installed systems may be upgraded with the third IMU option configured. For more, visit www.topconpositioning.com.
