Topcon X-53x Add-On Automates its 3D Excavator Grade Control

The X-53x Automatic Excavator system allows operators to automatically control the digging depth and bucket angle. The operator can import design files or create a custom design from the cab of the excavator using the bucket to take topo shots. The bucket follows complex designs by simply pulling back on the left joystick.

• A new joystick, TS-i4 inertial sensors and interface convert 2D X-52x and 3D X-53x indicate systems to automated depth and bucket control.Operators cut grade faster and more accurately, and it increases safety by removing the grade checker from the trench
• Can also add support for boom automation in tiltrotator applications
• Calibration method relies on a total station for reference, and the AI controller determines hydraulic settings automatically based on its calibration routine
• Legacy 2D and 3D systems can be upgraded to fully automatic excavation
• Modular hardware makes upgrading to automation easy and more cost-effective
