PowerDigger means better performance
The constant development of sensors and software has made it the most accurate and
reliable system on the market, improving your daily work, and securing excellent productivity for users.
PowerDigger means better features
If you think that an excavator guidance system is a new feature – then think again. Our latest PowerDigger control box is just the next generation in the line of the well proven excavator guidance systems.
PowerDigger means flexibility
The PowerDigger is a truly upgradeable system. You can start with a single grade system that will allow you to do most operations such as fixed depth, slopes, trenching, blind cuts, grading etc.
PowerDigger upgrade
Adding on the MRS300 Sensor will upgrade your system to dual grade system. It will give you the freedom of movement in any direction on a sloping surface as the system will compensate for machine, pitch, roll and rotation. Mounting a tilt bucket sensor will
add a further dimension to your machine control.
Upgrade to 3D guidance
A growing number of our customers have also chosen to upgrade their PowerDigger to a 3D capable system. This can be done by adding PowerDigger 3D computer as the control panel for RTK GNSS receiver.
The sensor system:
The sensors for the PowerDigger excavator system are gravitational reference sensors. The sensor technology and software have been under constant development since the introduction back in 1996. This development has lead to the sensors being the most responsive and accurate excavator sensor on the market.
Durable sensors
All sensors are fully waterproof down to at least 20m (70’) head of water – and so are the cables - so there is no need for expensive special equipment for backhoe dredgers. The hermetically sealed sensors will also withstand the stress and vibration on a hydraulic hammer.
CAN bus equals quick installation
The CAN bus system makes installation extremely simple. We know that minimizing downtime is important for your business. Therefore all sensors come with special welding plates or easy mounts to speed up the installation. The typical installation and calibration time for a basic system is less than three hours. To be this effective we ask that all fitters go through a thorough education at the factory before they are let out on their own.
PowerDigger Main Functions
A PowerDigger control box will clearly guide you to:
A preset reference depth or slope
A reference surface sloping in both directions (MRS 300 required)
A complex profile of up to 11 combined surfaces
You can offset your reference surface
Use a point or a string line as height reference
Use a laser (plane or slope) as reference
You can measure distances and slopes
Do blind cuts under water etc.
All this information will be displayed to you on the crisp and clear LCD display of the PowerDigger control box.
PowerDigger Benefits
The PowerDigger guidance system improves the overall performance of your machine:
Get your work done in fewer passes Improve your accuracy No more over cut Limit the cost for ground personnel A PowerDigger guidance system will ensure your future position in the ever more competitive construction market.
