Graphic display with customizable 3D views of jobsite and machine increases your efficiency
How PowerGrade 3D works
Using either Leica PowerTracker total station or Leica PowerBox GNSS (GPS + GLONASS) the exact 3D position of the blade is determined and compared with a reference surface. Slope and height differences are then shown to the operator, in real-time, on the screen or on the external light bars. The system allows you to design and store on-the-fly complex surfaces with several slopes – directly in the machine. Versatile Software Leica PowerGrade 3D offers unique features designed to make your machine easier to operate, quicker and more profitable. Work with any design format, design slopes and pads on-the-fly, control the edge of the cut, reduce material movements. Get it right, first time
Special features of Leica PowerGrade 3D:
- Works with many current total stations and GPS sensors.
- Hold Slope feature allows precise crown cuts and extending past breaklines when needed. No more overcuts
- Unique mast-tilt compensation – no more rebenching motorgrader blades between cut and fine-grading passes
- Create Reference surfaces with up to four slopes without needing a 3D design file
