Develon and Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, recently released the Leica MC1 3D machine control solution as an aftermarket kit for all Develon 9 Series Crawler Excavators. This advanced system is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with Develon’s existing 2D sensors and calibration systems, ensuring a smooth and efficient upgrade to 3D technology for customers across the entire 9 Series lineup.
At the heart of the Series 9 excavators is an advanced control architecture that allows effortless real-time communication between the excavator’s built-in sensors and Leica Geosystems’ 3D machine control systems. Through this control-level integration, operators can access Leica Geosystems’ precise 3D automation while continuing to benefit from Develon’s 2D technologies, including Virtual Wall for defining safe operation boundaries, Weighing System for real-time load measurement and Advanced Lift Assist for enhanced lifting stability. Customers simply install the Leica MC1 3D aftermarket kit, and with the Series 9 controller managing communication between internal and external systems, 3D enhancements are faster, simpler and more cost-effective.
