Leica Geosystems has launched its first machine smart antenna, the Leica iCON 120
Leica Geosystems’ new Leica iCON gps 120 is a smart antenna designed for machine control and is integrated into the existing Leica MC1 solution platform.
Leica Geosystems says that thanks to its flexibility, scalability and modularity, the smart antenna extends the machine control solution offering to more applications and machine types.
Construction machines like compaction rollers, which usually require only sub-metre accuracy without heading, can now be equipped with a tailor-made Leica MC1 machine control solution.
This allows streamlined operations and consistent workflows between heavy construction equipment that vary in application requirements, Leica Geosystems says.
Using the Leica MC1 machine control solution enables more accurate and quicker task completion, significantly enhanced fleet efficiency, reduced waste and more environmentally friendly operations, the company adds.
“Leica Geosystems’ innovative and flexible solutions are robust enablers of digital construction workflows,” Leica Geosystems vice president of heavy construction and machine control field solutions Tommi Kauppinen says.
“The iCON gps 120 machine smart antenna expands the machine control technology possibilities on the construction site by offering scalable solutions to even more machines and applications.”
