Tne Basics

The UMC 3D is a scalable machine control product which can bolt onto a performance (2D) system to increase system capabilities and provide full 3D advanced control. The clever UMC software allows the interface to be used on a variety of machines, including excavators, bull dozers and motor graders; so you can have one common interface for all your machines!

UMC 3D precisely monitors the exact position of the bucket cutting-edge using a mix of robust solid-state sensors and monitors the excavator position with GNSS antennas. This combination provides a wealth of data supplied directly into the cab on a rich display screen; guiding the operator to produce a wealth of earthwork activities with absolute precision.

 

System Features

 

• Work directly from CAD models with UMC 3D.
• Rich Full colour display fitted conveniently inside the cab – providing all machine information to the operator.
• 3D graphics –  see the job how you need to, from a infinite number of angels.
• GNSS (GPS & GLONASS) – for maximum flexibility & coverage across your site.
• Rugged component and cabling design – built specifically for the harsh construction environment.
• Compatible with most make and models of excavators on the market – even dual boom excavators supported.
• Fast & easy removal of components for overnight security.
• Simple & intuitive user interface – allows users to become confident and highly productive quicker.

A World of Benefits…

Users are often surprised by Machine Control; how one small system can drastically impact on their projects. The UMC 3D uses the latest in technology and provides a robust and dependable machine control solution which can provide the following benefits:

 

• Improve site safety – removes the need for grade checkers to enter the earthworks area.
• Reduces material & rework costs – do the job once, do it right!
• Work without boundaries – increases machine productivity by reducing your dependency on site survey teams.
• Creates a greener site – reduced rework and increased productivity all add up to substantial fuel savings, as well as reduced machine hours, as the job gets done quicker!
• Complex projects become simple – construct complex geometries, profiles and grades in a fraction of the normal time.
• Significant material savings – what is estimated is used
• Full payback on your investment can be achieved in one project.

 

The future of excavation

UMC 3D

The days of being constrained and relying on batter rails, boards and string lines is coming to an end, with the revolutionary UMC 3D system from Scanlaser. Typically a site survey will be conducted; turning physical data into terrain models. As the construction process continues, this data is interpreted into rails, boards and other markers. This takes time not to mention expense!

Using the UMC 3D the operator works directly from the original 3D data produced by site engineers. Operators can then reach target depth and grades with ease. Using the Bluetooth and wireless capabilities of the UMC display screen the data can be sent straight back to the site office speeding up excavation and prevents over/under dig. This will positively impact project costs and make you more profitable!

System Uses

 

Trenching
Use the system to provide sub-centimeter depth guidance for any application.  Simply enter the desired depth and slope into the in-cab display, or work directly from the original 3D terrain models. All this without the need for grade checkers to enter the excavation area!
 
Blind and Submerged Cuts
Use the system to ‘see’ underwater – designed specifically for dredging, clearing and operating in water. Just follow the position of the bucket by means of seven bucket position indicators on the full colour, 3D rendered display.

Formation Layering
When filling material in pipe trenches or formations, just enter the desired material depth and slope required. The system can store multiple depths and slopes for several layers.

Grading
Grading uneven surfaces can be done with speed and ease. Just enter the desired depth and slope into the in-cab display or work directly from GNSS coordinates. Grading has never been so simple!

Height Alarm
Safety First! When digging in surroundings where there are objects above the excavator that are potentially dangerous (e.g.  Power cables), you can set an Alarm Height that warns the operator of boom, stick, and bucket heights.

User Interface

The unique feature of the UMC is its user interface which is common for all machine types, so whether you have an excavator, bulldozer or motor grader the UMC 3D interface is common for all machine types. This reduces training requirements and allows operators to become confident with the system quickly.

 

In-Cab Display Screen Features

 

• Work from rich 3D graphics - operators see exactly what they need, detailing cut and fill values, exact positioning and terrain models.
• Best in class 3D display which supports competitor control systems and total stations – making integration on your site simple!
• Common interface on all machine types – so whether you have an excavator, bulldozer or motorgrader, the standard SBG software reduces training needs and allows operators to switch between different machine types easily.
• Vivid touchscreen display, putting a wealth of functionality at the drivers fingertips.
• Intuitive controls – become fully competent and confident with the system fast!
