3-D excavator guidance system

Leica Geosystems says its next-generation, cutting-edge, Leica PowerDigger 3D guidance system for excavators is the result of many years of experience in developing machine-control systems. Its PowerSnap concept allows users to seamlessly swap the panels between laser, slope, and three-dimensional machine control as the job demands. The control panel has a rugged housing and is equipped with a 7-inch, full-color touch screen that takes the user through the installation, setup, and operating modes at a glance. The system also features built-in dredging and volume calculations.

Durable mining tire

Titan Tire Corp. says its second generation 007 MFT mining tire features a new belt package that provides a more durable design through changes to the compounds in the tread and base, which help reduce overall heat generation and improve cut, chip, and wear characteristics. The steel was removed from the sidewalls to provide better durability.
