Grade control technology

Sept. 7, 2011
Cat AccuGrade systems utilize integrated machine and hydraulic systems to create a blade- or tool-control system that allows operators to grade, excavate, compact or pave with increased accuracy. The systems use machine-mounted sensors to calculate precise blade/tool location, slope and/or elevation information. It improves customer productivity by up to 40% while simultaneously reducing site costs. AccuGrade is factory-integrated, sensor-independent and features a suite of capabilities, including cross-slope, sonic, laser, GNSS and UTS technology.
