Komatsu Adds Machine Control 2.0 to PC490LCi-11 Excavator

To offer contractors automation on a larger excavator, Komatsu has introduced its intelligent Machine Control 2.0 (iMC 2.0) on the PC490LCi-11 excavator. Designed for excavation, trenching, slope work and fine grading on construction sites, the 359 hp PC490LCi-11 is Komatsu's largest intelligent excavator.

The PC490LCi-11 helps minimize over-excavation. Built on Komatsu’s intelligent machine control platform and developed with input from construction companies, iMC 2.0 offers additional new features, including:

• Upgraded iMC Monitor: A new 10.4-in. iMC monitor features increased memory capacity, processing speed and pinch to zoom functionality in a smaller light weight package
• Bucket Angle Hold Control: The new bucket angle hold control helps operators reach finish grade. It automatically holds the bucket angle to the design surface during arm operation, enabling operators to perform finish grading using only arm input
