Compact machine control solution from Topcon
First published at CONEXPO-CON/AGG - March 13, 2020
Topcon Positioning is now offering machine control solutions for compact equipment. Murray Lodge, senior vice president for the firm, said, “We’re targeting the smaller equipment – mini excavators, skid steer loaders, backhoe loaders. With this new system, it’s a simple indicate tool.”
This can use an Android device such as a phone or tablet as a display. Pocket MC also allows for a local positioning system (LPS) option using an LN-150 Layout Navigator total station.
This solution incorporates the same hardware for Topcon 3D machine control with an indicate-only option running on Android devices with a free app — Pocket-MC, which is part of the new MC Mobile system family.
The Pocket MC can be downloaded from the Google Store and used as a simple entry-level machine control tool for contractors wanting a simple way to boost productivity. It can also be used as a backup on site to a more sophisticated machine control system. “You can put your phone in the cab and go to work,” said Lodge.
