3D-GPS for Graders, Dozers & Scrapers

No need to wait for stakes to begin grading. With Topcon's 3D-GPS+ machine control system, an operator knows where he is on the jobsite and how far away the cutting edge of his machine is from final grade.

By triangulating distance measurements to satellites orbiting 12,000 miles in the sky, we can locate any point on the earth. Add a base station to correct for errors and GPS can accurately control the grading on your jobsite to within 1/10' or less. Imagine cutting or placing material within spec over your entire site without stakes. With Topcon's 3D-GPS+ not only do you move the marerial quicker and with less stakes, but also eliminate the costly process of moving material twice.

A distinct advantage of Topcon 3D machine control is our ability to track more satellites than anyone else. 3D-GPS+ (GPS+GLONASS) ensures you will not have equipment downtime due to too few satellites found in GPS only systems. No one can deny when using GPS, "the more satellites the greater the solution quality and integrity."

System Five-3D

The System Five-3D Box is the simplest control system your operator will ever use.

Instantaneaously the operator knows how far the cutting edge is from the design grade, offset dialed in for rough grading or material sections and the desired cross slope. The extremely bright, color coded touch screen displays roads, parking lots, building pads and other helpful information so the operator knows where they are on the projects at all times.

Need more detail when cutting curb grade or top and toe of slopes, the operator can simultaneously look at section or profile views while grading the site. Select any linework on the screed and System Five-3D will provide steering information to make sure you grade right where you want.
