FJD 3D Excavator Grade Control System Principle


This blog will explain all you need to know about the FJD 3D excavator grade control system principle.

So, how does it work?

There are two GNSS antennas used during the principle. One is used for positioning and the other one is used for orientation, as well as a 4G/radio antenna to receive the RTK signal. Various attitude sensor modules are also used, including an excavator platform attitude sensor, a boom attitude sensor, a stick attitude sensor, and finally, a bucket attitude sensor.

The principle works by the global navigation satellite system, GNSS, and RTK technology for the positioning, and then readings are then taken from the various angle sensors installed on the excavator. These obtain real-time and accurate three-dimensional position information of the bucket.

Based on GNSS and RTK, excavator grade control accuracy is 3cm

Cooperating with work tasks generated by the construction drawing conversion software, which displays the current digging and filling workload in real time. It digitally guides the excavation construction. Even in the blind area, the bucket can precisely execute the necessary work.
