    Leica Geosystems and Develon have added a new aftermarket 3D machine control solution to the DX225LC-7X Smart crawler excavator.

    The Develon DX225LC-7X excavator features Full Electric Hydraulic (FEH) technology and an integrated 2D machine guidance and machine control system as standard equipment. In order to enhance this efficiency to a greater extent, Develon is now offering the Leica MC1 3D machine guidance system as a retrofit, specifically engineered to integrate with the Develon 2D sensors and calibrations on the DX225LC-7X.

    “We are excited to unite in a pioneering collaboration with Leica Geosystems, introducing a seamless experience to obtain a 3D machine guidance solution for our DX225LC-7X Smart excavator,” said Stephane Dieu, excavators product manager for Develon Europe, in a statement. “This joint effort empowers construction companies to blend efficiency and sustainability.”

    The Leica MC1 machine control system is designed to assist the operator in achieving the desired outcome. Design information and real-time cut/fill indications are displayed in the cab on the Leica MCP80 control panel, allowing operators to excavate to the reference model efficiently.
