Aptella is expanding the scope of machine control technology with the launch of the latest Topcon excavator solutions, introducing enhanced functionality and a future-ready platform that extends precision and performance across a range of machinery.
Topcon’s new machine control technology, including advanced excavator functionality and support for loaders, scrapers, and compactors, is now available in Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia.
Distributed by smart positioning specialist Aptella, Topcon’s latest MC-Max solution for excavators supports knuckle and offset booms, along with an integrated load weighing upgrade that adds on-board weighing functionality within one system.
Aptella Executive Business Manager – Civil, Harry Katsanevas, said the system provided functionality and performance for a range of excavator models and attachments.
“Along with support for non-standard machines on the new generation MC-X platform, plus upcoming releases for safety awareness and more, we have aftermarket solutions to suit every machine and application,” he said.
Topcon’s MC-X platform incorporates MC-Max, for high performance grade control on civil projects; and MC-Mobile three-in-one technology for owner-operators to design, measure, and build projects with a single system.
Initially released to support all makes of excavator, grader, dozer, and compact track loaders, MC-X options are now available for wheel and track loaders.
For compactors, scrapers, and other auxiliary machinery, Topcon’s new 3D-MC Edge option provides an economical, high accuracy indicate machine control option.
Engineered specifically to give advanced responsiveness on a machine’s cutting edge, 3D-MC Edge gets operators closer to grade without undercutting or overfilling to save fuel and machine wear.
Aptella Executive Product Manager Joel Seddon said customers had been asking the local market for the changes.
“Feedback from beta tests and early adopters has been extremely positive,” he said.
“Contractors can future-proof their entire fleet with the MC-X platform.”
