Earthworks X300 Excavator Machine Guidance System

  24/08/2010
Hemisphere GPS has released the Earthworks X300 excavator guidance system. Integrating Hemisphere GPS' patented Crescent Vector GPS compass technology X300 measures and displays three-dimensional excavator positioning to operators, vastly improving excavation proficiency and accuracy and greatly reducing rework.


Following the successful release of the X200 full two-dimensional machine guidance system in March of this year, X300 provides real-time three-dimensional visual feedback to the operator on the position of the bucket teeth relative to a design grade surface. X300 will also function in a full two-dimensional mode when jobs do not require a three-dimensional design file. ‘Design Grade on site' features offered through the touch screen interface conveniently guide the operator through two-dimensional jobs. Even the smallest contractor will realise the benefits of higher productivity, increased safety, and a quick return on investment.

X300 facilitates this through a combination of ultra-rugged tilt sensors, GPS systems, three-dimensional design file, and an operator touch-screen display. The device is developed for both coarse and fine-grade excavation applications including site preparation and general earthwork, road construction, mining, utility trenching, complex grading, and marine dredging.

3D Scanning of Historic Sugar Factories

The Alliance for Integrated Spatial Technologies at the University of South Florida, USA, recently worked with the Florida Park Service on a project to document the remains of several historic sugar-mill sites in the State Parks to create as-builts to be used in preservation and conservation of these resources. The FARO LS 880, along with GPS and total station georeferencing and colour imaging, was used on these projects.
