CHCNAV TX73 Excavator Guidance System

Highlights

The MCNAV TX73 is a 3D excavator machine control system that combines advanced GNSS receivers with robust IMU sensors to accurately determine the bucket tip’s position. Real-time excavator grade control against the design surface lets the operator dig straight to target depth, significantly reducing the need for traditional survey methods. As a result, the TX73 boosts productivity and cost efficiency, enabling projects to be completed faster and more economically.

High Accuracy and Precision

The TX73's high-precision GNSS positioning uses full GNSS constellations and advanced IMU sensors to deliver real-time excavator grade control, reducing human error and over-excavation while maintaining the alignment, depth, and slope essential for high-quality results.

Enhanced Safety

Safety is improved by making as-built drawings visible to machine operators, who can anticipate potential hazards such as underground utilities. Automated guidance minimizes worker exposure to hazardous environments and reduces the likelihood of accidents.

Robust and Durable Hardware

The system is designed with durable components, including the MC300 receiver, an IP69K-rated IMU sensor, dual IP68 GNSS antennas, and a quick-release mechanism for easy tablet removal, to ensure durability in harsh environments.

Wide Compatibility

Integrate with a wide range of attachments including Engcon and Steelwrist tiltrotators and tripple boom systems.

Advanced Visualization

3D view with advanced CAD engine for project files and drawings.

Real-Time Updates and Support

Over-the-air (OTA) updates keep the system up-to-date with the latest features and enhancements, while the MCSite cloud platform enables remote troubleshooting and data synchronization, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum operational efficiency.

Higher-altitude capture without sacrificing detail

The AA6 combines long-range sensing, a high-grade IMU and fifth-generation waveform processing to support efficient data capture from typical operating heights of 100 to 600 m.

More usable points in difficult conditions

Multiple-Time-Around processing supports higher pulse rates at altitude, improving point density and vegetation penetration where conventional compact sensors can lose coverage.

Flexible imaging for every mission

25/100 MP single-camera option

25 MP option for low-light work and detailed colour at lower altitudes; 100 MP option for higher-altitude image detail and mapping coverage.

AA6D dual-camera option

Dual 26 MP cameras providing wider coverage and redundancy with a combined ~110° field of view for efficient overlap and stereo-capable imagery.
