Komatsu Enhances Machine Control for 3 HEX Models

Jan. 28, 2022

Komatsu’s intelligent Machine Control 2.0 (iMC 2.0) now offers additional new features on the company’s mid-to large-size construction excavators: the PC290LCi-11, PC360LCi-11, and PC390LCi-11.

Auto tilt bucket control assists operators by aligning the bucket parallel with the slope, so that finish grading can be accomplished without needing to align the machine with the target surface.

Bucket angle hold control helps operators reach finish grade quickly and accurately, the company says. It automatically holds the bucket angle to the design surface during arm operation, enabling operators to perform finish grading using only arm input.

“Aimed to quickly lessen the skill gap between new and experienced operators—and improve the bottom line for contractors—our excavators with iMC 2.0 technology can help contractors transform their construction job sites into highly efficient, highly productive operations,” said Andrew Earing, senior product manager, tracked products, Komatsu.
