Rugged AccuGrade grade control system, integrated into Caterpillar machines and attachments, uses GPS technology to provide real-time feedback of job site terrain to operator. Decreases need for traditional grade staking, reducing costs, downtime, and the number of workers needed on site. Increases safety by monitoring and alerting operators to avoidance zones. Automatic locking feature prevents blade movement when system is inactive. Relies on dual-combined receiver and antenna system. Receivers, along with cab-mounted radio, collect positioning data from satellites and off-board GPS base station to calculate blade position relative to the design plan with centimeter-level accuracy.
