Hitachi has introduced a new machine control system for excavators developed with Topcon. Hitachi Grade Guidance offers fingertip control and real-time distance-to-grade indication on everything from trenching and shaping ditches to slopes and digging foundations. The 3D system is outfitted with GNSS and displays position and elevation with respect to a global reference. A 2D system is available with an optional laser receiver to display the elevation of the cutting edge in relation to a reference plane. All system data can be sent to Hitachi's ZXLink telematics for machine health monitoring.
