CASE Partners With Leica Geosystems On Innovative Grade Control Solution
Available factory-installed or as a retrofit on select CASE M Series dozers, CASE Construction Equipment’s all-new SiteControl CoPilot system bridges the gap between automatic and indicate-only systems.
The result of a global partnership with Leica Geosystems, the easy-to-use system allows operators to set a desired slope/grade reference, which is automatically held without the need for lasers, masts or GPS – regardless of underfoot conditions. This enables both seasoned and less-experienced operators to easily achieve and maintain a smooth surface, slope or grade throughout the work area.
Once the operator has set the slope/grade specifications, the system automatically adjusts blade position to produce a reliable and consistent quality surface, eliminating the need for additional passes and re-work, and reducing fuel and labor costs. An integrated in-cab display provides real-time data to the operator.
SiteControl CoPilot also offers a cost-effective entry into 2D and 3D machine control technology. While the system provides many 2D system benefits without the need for masts, base stations or lasers, it can also be used as a building block for Leica 2D and 3D upgrades as an equipment owner’s needs evolve. Leica
Geosystems offers products and service in support of the surveying, engineering and construction communities throughout United States.The SiteControl CoPilot system is available on 1150M, 1650M and 2050M dozers through CASE Certified Precision Solution Dealers.
