*Komatsu Excavators Show: Machine Control vs. Machine Guidance at Bauma
2016*
In today’s video, we’re exploring a fascinating Komatsu Excavators Show at
Bauma Expo 2016, where the capabilities of Machine Control and Machine
Guidance systems were showcased through a side-by-side comparison using the
Komatsu PC210LCi Excavator.
This live demonstration highlighted the advancements Komatsu has brought to
excavation technology, focusing on precision, efficiency, and ease of use. The
comparison provided a clear understanding of how these systems operate and how
they can revolutionize excavation tasks across industries.
*Komatsu PC210LCi: A Technological Marvel*
The PC210LCi excavator is a mid-sized machine that combines Komatsu’s
renowned reliability with cutting-edge technology. It’s designed to optimize
excavation tasks, ensuring accuracy and reducing over-excavation.
Key Specifications:
Operating Weight: 22,620 kg (49,870 lbs)
Engine Power: 123 kW (165 HP)
Maximum Digging Depth: 6.62 meters (21.7 feet)
Bucket Capacity: 0.8-1.2 cubic meters (1.05-1.57 cubic yards)
*Machine Control vs. Machine Guidance: Understanding the Difference*
The demonstration at Bauma 2016 provided a side-by-side comparison of Komatsu’s
Machine Control and Machine Guidance systems, highlighting how these
technologies enhance excavation tasks:
1. Machine Guidance
Machine Guidance is designed to assist the operator by providing real-time
data on the bucket’s position relative to the desired grade.
Operators receive feedback through visual displays and sensors, helping
them manually adjust the machine to meet project specifications.
2. Machine Control
Machine Control takes automation a step further by actively intervening in the
machine’s operation.
It automatically adjusts the bucket and arm positions to maintain the correct
grade, reducing operator input and improving precision.
*Highlights from the Demonstration*
1. Side-by-Side Comparison:
o Two Komatsu PC210LCi excavators were placed in identical
excavation scenarios, with one relying on Machine Guidance and the
other utilizing Machine Control.
o The comparison showcased how Machine Control significantly
reduced operator effort and minimized the risk of over-excavation.
2. Efficiency and Speed:
o The excavator with Machine Control completed the task faster, thanks
to the automated adjustments that maintained precision without
requiring constant operator input.
o Machine Guidance, while accurate, required more manual
intervention, resulting in longer task completion times.
3. Accuracy and Precision:
o Both systems demonstrated exceptional precision, but Machine
Control stood out by ensuring the correct grade was maintained
automatically, even in complex digging scenarios.
4. Ease of Use:
o Machine Control reduced operator fatigue by handling repetitive
adjustments, making it an ideal choice for long or complex projects.
*Applications Across Industries*
The Komatsu PC210LCi, equipped with Machine Control or Machine Guidance, is
perfect for a variety of industries:
Construction: Ideal for foundation work, grading, and utility installations.
Infrastructure: Excels in roadwork, bridge construction, and other large-scale
projects.
Landscaping: Ensures precise grading and excavation for landscaping and
outdoor projects.
Mining and Quarrying: Handles bulk excavation and precise material
handling.
*Why Komatsu’s Technology Stands Out*
Komatsu’s integration of Machine Control and Machine Guidance systems
showcases their commitment to innovation:
Key Advantages:
Increased Efficiency: Automation reduces time spent on tasks, boosting
overall productivity.
Improved Accuracy: Both systems ensure precise digging, minimizing
material waste and rework.
Operator-Friendly: Intuitive controls and automated features reduce operator
fatigue and the skill level required.
Cost-Effective: Accurate excavation reduces over-digging and associated
costs, making projects more economical.
*The Bauma 2016 Experience*
This demonstration was a standout moment at Bauma 2016, providing attendees
with a clear understanding of the practical benefits of Komatsu’s advanced
technologies. Watching the PC210LCi in action emphasized the impact of automation
on efficiency, accuracy, and operator ease.
