machine guidance: Digmaster

Digmaster, Prolec's graphic depth and grade control monitor, is an entry-level 2D product which is ideal when there is no need for a full 3D solution. The system ensures accurate grade control for excavators. When referenced to a known point, the Digmaster is capable of working to accuracies of 2cm to the bucket teeth. This information is displayed to the driver via the graphical user interface in the cab.

With real-time and depth information displayed to the operator, work can be completed quickly and accurately with minimal supervision. This in turn reduces the need for grade checkers and results in less staking. Productivity savings can be as high as 30 - 50% depending on application. The Digmaster is suitable for applications such as; blind cuts, trenching, single slope, dual slope and layering.
