CORRECTION DATA FOR EXCAVATOR/ROVER OFF-ROAD MODULE

For short building works

RADIO COMMUNICATION

For longer building works

BASE RADIO COMMUNICATION

An integrated mobile communications modem allows reception of correction data sent by the surveying authority or other sources. This eliminates the need for a base station.

The use of the base station allows the use of more Rover excavators and field survey modules. The base station is compatible with base stations from other manufacturers.

ADVANTAGE: NO INVESTMENT IN A BASE STATION

ADVANTAGE: NO RUNNING COSTS

FULL COMPATIBILITY WITH MIXED FLEETS

MTS’s machine radio communication modems are compatible with all typical machine control systems, Rover field survey modules and base station receivers. The MTS-LOC module reads calibration data from Trimble field modules, SurvPC computers and FAST Survey. Construction site technology data for the Rover field survey module and excavator, is compatible with third-party equipment. MTS currently uses the popular DXF and LandXML formats. In future, the IFC format will be used.

This means that data preparation will be performed for all systems only once.

THE HEART OF THE SYSTEM:
MTS-NAVI

The MTS-Navi navigation unit, allows the machine operator to guide the excavator bucket along a digital terrain model using satellite signals and inclination sensors. By compensating for the current set position and the actual position of the excavator bucket, the machine can determine precise information regarding the work to be carried out. This avoids tedious survey work and time-consuming and costly corrections to the ground profile.

SPECIAL SOLUTIONS

The MTS-NAVI system, can be used to control a special excavator with an additional boom or additional equipment.

3D MINI EXCAVATOR WITH ARM SWING SENSOR
Particularly in a small space, carrying out complex construction work with a lot of infrastructure requires a lot of labour-intensive piling. The required precision, necessitates the frequent use of the building measure. It is under these conditions that significant savings can be achieved. We encourage you to make the appropriate calculations.
PIVOTING BUCKETS
The MTS-NAVI tilt-rotation buckets and modules are the ideal complement to ensure complete versatility. Angle and tilt measurements guarantee maximum precision.
EXCAVATOR EQUIPPED WITH SHREDDERS, MOWERS AND OTHER ATTACHMENTS
The system offers the possibility of avoiding unnecessary processing, as the track is logged. It also enables ideal route planning, taking into account obstacles such as channel covers, posts and stones. Please contact us for a customised solution.
SOIL COMPACTOR
Our MTS-VA (compaction assistant), records the completion of compaction directly in the construction documentation. Our embankment layer assistant and control test documentation with a lightweight HMP measurement module are now available.
SPYCHACK 3D
The MTS-NAVI system with dozer indicator is an ideal extension of the navigation system’s capabilities for the excavator. Moving soil without the need for piling is undoubtedly an attractive possibility. To excavate, simply mount the MTS-NAVI module on the excavator. With the MTS-NAVI dozer, you can also level and profile the ground.
3D CRAWLER LOADER
Our development department creates individual track loader models, The standard track loader system is available from the end of 2016.

EXAMPLES OF APPLICATION:

MAKING DUCTS AND LAYING PIPES:

During digging, the system indicates the position of the pipes running through the working area. The bottom of the trench can be suitably profiled in the first working step, guaranteeing stable and even pipe embedment.

WATER CONSTRUCTION:

The 3D control of the excavator bucket, allows precise control of the bucket in conditions of even complete lack of visibility. The position and orientation of the bucket under water is displayed on the screen. The resulting excavation depth is logged.

UNDERGROUND AND ROAD CONSTRUCTION:

Excavate without piling and eliminate the associated downtime by presenting all obstacles directly on the machine’s screen.

FEATURES AND EQUIPMENT

MORE THAN JUST THE CONTROL OF AN EXCAVATOR

MORE THAN JUST CONTROL OF AN EXCAVATOR

Our ToughPad can be used not only as a tablet in an excavator, but also as a rover field survey module and office computer.

SIMPLE MEASURING FUNCTION

The position of elements such as piles, hole markers and house connection clamps can be determined automatically.

OPTION TO PRINT OUT MEASUREMENTS

The measurement data can be saved in PDF or DXF format and then printed out. It is also possible to send them by e-mail so that the measurements are immediately available in the construction office.

REMOTE DIAGNOSTICS MODULE AND SERVICE HOTLINE

If you have any questions, our service is able to get an idea of the situation within seconds via the remote diagnostics function.
