DozerNav Plus

A high precision GPS based positioning system designed for machine guidance of earthmoving equipment. It provides instant feedback on a range of positioning parameters.

Operating a dozer productively on a mine site requires an understanding of the location and height of the machine relative to a pre-determined design surface. You need to be able to cut and fill within the grade tolerance quickly and efficiently in all weather conditions.

The operator can see cut and fill information and grade tolerances at a glance. The operator is also warned if they are working outside the project boundaries or in a dangerous area.

Advantages:

• Real-time operator feedback.
• Accurate vital measurements (cut, fill, grade, elevation, distances, topography and landmarks).
• Advanced GPS: 2-4cm horizontal (X-Y) and 3-6cm vertical (Z) accuracy.
• Operators can produce consistent results without rework.
• Truck tire life is optimized as waste dumps can be better managed road grade can be more tightly controlled for haul road constructions.
• Productivity improved by integrating mine planning and production.
• Works in all conditions.
• Reduced need for surveyors to set grade stakes.
• Delay detection, recording and analysis for non-stand alone dozers.
• Site safety improved as fewer surveyors and chain men needed to work around equipment.
• Warning alarms for operators.
• Progress can be tracked with color-coded options on screen (Cut/Fill/Grade, Dual Surfaces, Productivity, Hatch view).
• Design plans can be downloaded or the operator can create flat elevations on the dozer.
• Easy to use system with clear LCD touch screen.
• Data transmitted to office for analysis, reporting and decision making.
• Radio telemetry integrates office with the machine in the field.
• Integration with existing fleet systems such as Leica FMS.
• Reliable service and support.

Options:

• Fast two way radio telemetry.
• Angle sensor provides great accuracy in tilt and cross slope conditions.
• Leica DozerNav Plus can be mounted in light vehicles so operators and supervisors can liaise about work progress with ease.
