10 June 2008
Topcon Positioning Systems (TPS) has developed customised machine control add-on kits for Komatsu’s recently released D51EX/PX-22 dozer.
Customised machine control add-on kits for Komatsu D51EX/PX-22 dozer.
The new kits offer a “glove-fit package for mounting brackets, cables, hydraulics and MC components,” according to Neil Other, Topcon’s Australia and New Zealand sales manager.
“These kits simplify the installation, saving valuable time in the field,” he said.
Features of the kits include:
- Access holes throughout the machine for easy cable routing
- Low-profile control box bracket for better viewing
- Preset locations for mounting Topcon’s machine receiver
- Bolt-on mounts for pilot valve bracket
- Cable protection through a recessed J-box
- Bolt-on slope sensor bracket and anti-vibration mount.
To minimise cable routing, a new junction box has been designed for Millimetre GPS cable connection, single and dual GPS connectors, slope and laser/sonic connectors.
