Product Description

Use the system to dig with an excavator to a desired depth and create a leveled plane or to set a slope and create a tilted surface. Also use it to determine reach, such as for the width of a trench.

All the digging information is referenced to the center of the bucket blade (or teeth) and the depth value shown is the distance from the actual teeth position to the target depth.

Sensors measure the angle of the boom, stick, and bucket. The information is transmitted instantly to the cab display. LEDs tell you how far to dig.

A simple one-time procedure allows theiDig system to “learn” the

dimensions of your machine. That is how it constantly calculates, in real time, where the bucket tip is in relation to the target depth.

WithiDig, the operator has to dig “straight ahead” (only moving the booms/bucket in and out).

After the target depth has been set, the chassis has to stay stable. Any rotation of it may produce an error depending on the inclination.

Rotation of the chassis can be compensated by using a fourth sensor as a “pitch” sensor on the chassis. This will automatically correct forward and backward tilting movements of your machine as well as rotation, providing accurate depth information.

Every time that the excavator tracks are moved, it’s necessary to zero again the reference (target) depth on a previous point or, depending on the setup, take the laser height again.
