Komatsu Europe’s Smart Construction 3D Machine Guidance system is now fully compatible with major tilt rotators brands.
Komatsu’s Smart Construction 3D Machine Guidance provides real-time 2D and 3D guidance to enhance earthmoving precision. The system can be retrofitted on excavators ranging from 13 to 120 tonnes, including both Komatsu and non-Komatsu equipment. The major brands it is now compatible with Engcon, Steelwrist, Rototilt, and OilQuick.
“This advancement empowers operators to move materials with even greater speed and accuracy,” Komatsu Smart Construction senior commercial manager Bart Vingerhoets said.
“With over 80 per cent of excavators in Northern Europe already equipped with tilt rotators as standard, we are committed to evolving our digital tools in line with market demands, ensuring our customers have access to the best technology available.”
The 3D Machine Guidance system is an IoT solution within the Smart Construction suite. It collects as-built data, which is visualised in a 3D digital twin within the Smart Construction Dashboard. payload information is automatically reported to Smart Construction Fleet, improving operational tracking and machine productivity.
Previously, 3D Machine Guidance was only compatible with tilt buckets that swung left to right. With this breakthrough update, excavator buckets can now rotate a full 360 degrees, unlocking unprecedented control and efficiency on-site.
“We are looking forward to seeing how our customers can benefit from the integration of our tilt rotators with Smart Construction 3D Machine Guidance for a more efficient job site,” Engcon chief executive officer Krister Blomgren said.
