Topcon Positioning Group announced advances to its portfolio of machine control solutions during ConExpo/Con-Agg 2020 in March. Tilt rotator functionality for the Automatic Excavator system, mobile and bring your own device (BYOD) display options are among the additions offered by the Livermore, California-based company. While Topcon has offered tilt rotation for several years, now it will allow Automatic Excavator operators to easily swivel or tilt the bucket with automatic boom control for faster, more efficient excavation. Murray Lodge, Topcon's Senior VP of Construction, talked machine control with Truck & Off-Highway Engineering at the company's booth during the triennial show in Las Vegas.
