High precision guidance for excavators

Since its release over a year ago, Leica Geosystems' iCON site excavator system has proven to be popular among businesses aiming to optimise the earthmoving jobs of compact excavators.

The innovative iCON solution expands the machine control of trenching and excavating tasks, and provides higher accuracy work with less over-digging, rework and fewer errors.

The one common software and hardware platform offers similar menus and workflow across application, while key hardware components can be moved on different machine applications.

The simple, easy-to-use application integrates easily to existing iCON site applications, so users can benefit from new workflows that combine measuring, stakeout, excavating, and reporting in one easy package.

The iCON site excavator system builds upon the powerful iCON Site platform, allowing compact excavator operators to dig to designs easily and precisely, and is available for use both as a standalone option or can be combined with an ICON Site GNSS rover.

The solution introduced three new components to the existing ICON suite: the iCON Excavator application itself, a dual GNSS receiver (the Leica iCON gps 100) and an optional communication device for GNSS corrections (the Leica iCON CR50), encompassing a set-up that delivers versatility in tackling a range of applications.
