How does 3D Boundary Control help to improve safety on your jobsite?

When you set virtual walls on the job-site, it automatically stops any machine movement as you get close to the hazardous areas.

How does Auto Swing make truck loading semi-automatic?

Automatically swings the machine and lifts the bucket to the truck body or crusher hopper, and then back again to the digging point.

How does Swing to Line make trenching so much easier?

Set a centreline for a trench and it will automatically swing the machine to centre the bucket exactly on that line, every time.

How does Travel Along Line keep you straight?

Set a centreline for a trench and it will automatically steer the tracks to keep you centred with every move of the machine.

How does Return to Zero Make Tiltrotator Operation Easier?

When you finish the digging or grading pass and raise the bucket to dump the material, it will automatically rotate and tilt to the zero position.

What do Auto-Rotate and Auto-Tilt do?

The functions rotate and tilt the bucket automatically to keep it on the design surface and maintain bucket alignment through the digging or grading pass.

How does Auto-Stop Control prevent from over-digging?

It stops the bucket edge on the design surface during boom, arm or bucket operation, and eliminates over-digging past the desired grade. Operators can safely rely on the system’s intervention when required: no more need to constantly check the monitor or to worry about re-work. Just relax and be productive.

How does the Auto Grade Assist make the perfect grade?

Even a new operator can now easily deliver that perfect grade! During a grading pass, the system automatically raises the boom and the bucket edge precisely traces the design surface. The operator just controls the desired grading speed with the left hand lever. This simplification of a previously quite complex manual operation boosts productivity and efficiency with unsurpassed accuracy.

What is Minimum Distance Control ?

Each bucket is easily calibrated to the excavator, so that the iMC system can always calculate the bucket’s nearest point or the “minimum distance” to the design model. Regardless of the bucket’s orientation, the system will always prevent it from damaging the surface. This gives operators confidence that, in the event of a mistake or when working on complex designs, the iMC system will always support them.

Can iMC 3.0 system maintain a constant bucket angle?

Enables the operator to automatically set the bucket grading or digging angle. The iMC 3.0 system maintains a constant bucket angle, removing the need for the operator to adjust manually, boosting ease of operation in final grading or trimming work.

How to track volume progress with an iMC excavator?

Not only is Komatsu iMC excavator equipped with cutting-edge automation features, but it’s also a powerful data collector. While digging, the iMC excavator automatically logs the lowest point of its bucket edge. This data can be used to create an up-to-date terrain surface that reflects recent digging progress on jobsite. Connecting with Smart Construction Dashboard, you can easily visualize this progress and perform a simple volume calculation to measure how many cubic meters were moved each day.
