Cat® Next Generation Excavator Operator Training: Grade with 3D

Grade with 3D is available as an option from the factory for the 320 and 323, or can be added in the field. Working in full 3D can help customers maximize productivity and jobsite efficiency when working to more complex designs often found on large infrastructure, civil, heavy highway, and commercial site projects. Grade with 3D also includes the in-field design functionality on the second high resolution 10” touchscreen monitor. The 3D system is able to track the excavator’s absolute location through additional receivers and antennas relative to GPS and GLONASS systems. This allows the operator to receive real-time guidance on bucket position throughout the full range of motion for the boom, stick, and bucket. The machine automatically compensates for excavator pitch and roll caused by sloping ground conditions and knows the absolute location on the jobsite. The 3D system works with all the benefits of the Grade Assist.
