GRADE CONTROL FOR EXCAVATORS

Augmented Reality for Excavators

Operators can now view 3D models in a real-world environment at a true-life scale, in the context of existing surroundings. On the Trimble Earthworks Grade Control Platform display, the model is overlaid onto existing ground giving the operator a better understanding of the work that needs to be done. Visibility of the bucket gives operators better situational awareness to be able to keep surrounding people and objects safer. Users can easily understand 3D models, cut/fill information, slope data and other bench points and reference points in context, without the need to interpret complex 2D plans or stakes.

Introducing Undertime

Trimble Earthworks is designed to help you do more in less time. Reengineered from the ground up, our innovative, next generation grade control platform features intuitive, easy-to-learn software that runs on an Android operating system. And state-of-the-art software and hardware give operators of all skill levels the ability to work faster and more productively than ever before. Trimble Earthworks is now available in a subscription model with flexible terms to modernize your equipment with no large upfront cost.

Trimble Earthworks Automatic Excavator Control

With Trimble Earthworks, you can now take advantage of the first integrated3D aftermarket grade control automatics for excavators and tilt-rotatorattachments. Excavators can work semi-automatically, allowing operators tocreate smooth, flat or sloped surfaces more easily.

Trimble Earthworks Software

Trimble Earthworks is an entirely new grade control software application that runs on Android and helps your crew be more efficient and productive.

Trimble Earthworks Dual GNSS

Trimble, a leader in precision measurement technology, pioneered the Dual GNSS solution to meet the needs of the construction industry. Watch the video to see how it works and why you need it.

Configuration Options for Excavators

3D Product

• Applications
  • Highway and railway construction
  • Airport construction
  • Concrete pours and slab placement
  • Residential and commercial site construction
• Configurations
  • Single GNSS
    • Measures the position and slope of the blade and compares that to design data for fine grading on complex design surfaces
  • Dual GNSS
    • Measures the exact position, cross slope and heading of the blade for fine grading on steep slopes and complex design surfaces
  • Universal Total Station (UTS)
    • Total station based system for extreme accuracy for lift and layer control, material monitoring, or where GNSS is not the ideal solution because of overhead obstructions

2D Product

• Applications
  • Residential and commercial sites
  • Road construction
  • Trenches
  • Ditches
  • Finished slope work
  • Dredging and waterways
  • Digging footers and basements

• Configurations
  • Depth, Slope and Elevation Control
    
    • Highly flexible system for excavation, trenching, grading and profile work
  • Depth and Slope with Bench Reference
    • Simply enter the desired depth and slope, or bench using your bucket. The system will provide guidance to a depth or slope based on distance from a known point or "bench" on the ground.
  • Laser Reference
    • A rotating grade laser provides a reference plane across the job site.
  • Laser Reference with Heading
    • The excavator can be rotated without the need to re-enter the desired depth and slope to maintain consistent accuracy.
  • Depth and Slope with GNSS
    • Keep the easy to use Depth and Slope or Bench and Go workflows, and leverage GNSS to move around the site without having to use touch points or laser reference to carry your elevation. Rotate and maintain constant slopes as the GNSS also provides heading.
