Product Features and benefits:

Operator-Adaptive Technology

The excavator seamlessly adjusts to the operator’s experience level with a fully integrated grade assist. This feature automatically traces the target surface, minimizing the risk of over-digging. Additionally, a built-in facing angle compass ensures precise alignment with the target surface.

Auto Stop Control

The machine incorporates an auto stop control mechanism to prevent potential damage during boom or bucket operation. When the bucket edge reaches the design surface, the excavator automatically halts its operation, enhancing safety and minimizing the risk of equipment damage.

Precision through Minimum Distance Control

IMC controls the bucket by autonomously selecting the point closest to the target surface. This minimizes operator input while significantly improving accuracy and confidence in grading operations.

Utility-Focused Precision

Designed for utility applications requiring utmost precision, the excavator allows operators to input structure details, invert elevations of pipe runs, and automatically calculates the fall of the pipe. This critical precision ensures accuracy in utility-focused tasks.

Powerful and Environmentally Friendly Engine

Equipped with a Tier 4 Final certified Komatsu SAA6D107E-3 engine, excavators featuring IMC 1.0 provide a powerful and environmentally friendly solution. The engine integrates a diesel particulate filter, hydraulically actuated Komatsu variable geometry turbocharger, and a selective catalytic reduction system.

Real-Time Position Sensing

The excavator utilizes stroke sensing hydraulic cylinders that provide real-time position information immediately displayed to the operator. This represents an improvement over conventional aftermarket machine guidance systems, offering enhanced stability without the need for time-consuming stabilization associated with tilt sensors.

Outstanding Stability through Robust Undercarriage

With a large counterweight and robust undercarriage components, the excavator ensures outstanding stability. This feature is crucial for maintaining balance and support, especially in demanding working conditions.
