Zaxis-7 excavators from 10 to 50 tonnes are being fitted with Leica technology in the Hitachi Europe factory in Amsterdam.
Hitachi says that adding Leica Geosystems machine control technology increases efficiency on site and lowers running costs by providing operators with a system to excavate rapidly to the reference design.
The following factory-fitted options will be available with Hitachi excavators: 2D machine control; 2D ready with 3D bracket and wires, so customers can upgrade to 3D when required; and a complete 3D option. Hitachi factory-fitted tilt rotator attachments can also be integrated into the system.
“This announcement is in line with HCME’s strategy to shift to digitalisation and provide customised solutions to our customers,” said HCME solution linkage manager Ryo Kurihara. “By taking advantage of a factory-fitted Leica Geosystems solution, operators can start work immediately after machine delivery.”
