Leica iCON iXE3 - 3D System

Advanced 3D excavator machine control solution

The iXE3 machine control solution guides the operator using reference models and GNSS in 3D. Design information and real-time cut/fill indications are displayed in the cab on your control panel, allowing you to rapidly excavate to the reference design. The solution ensures more uptime and operator satisfaction while increasing safety and productivity. Work with a wide range of industry-standard data formats including LandXML, DXF, GEO, KOF, L3D, LMD, LIN, MBS and TRM formats, which offers the customer a variety of applications and workflows. The operator can use the function Create Model to make simple and complex models on the fly without leaving the cab and without the assistance of a surveying engineer.

One-for-all

One platform for all machines with a simple and intuitive user interface. The cable-free panel allows the operator to easily swap panel from one machine to another. The operator just turns the key and gets on with the work. The interactions support the workflow of the task at hand, and the clean interface makes it easy to find the functions you need using icons for fast navigation. The assistive technology with wizards and help functions help you drive the machine and get more work done with higher quality and fewer errors.

Increase your uptime

The efficient menu structure is set up for easy management of the all project files. Increase your uptime due to a user interface that gives the operator quick access to select the functions that are needed for the workflow. The interface keeps the operator in the run screen and targets his attention to the job at hand. Select full screen or split screen to guide you to the most efficient view that assists you through the job.

Share data seamlessly

Share data seamlessly with integrated solutions from Leica Geosystems. Project files from Leica ConX are automatically synchronised with the Leica MC1 software for the excavator as well as the iCON site software solutions. Use the iCON excavate to log measured points and share the data with Leica ConX for project progress calculations and productivity analyses. The iXE3 solutions allows you to share log points between machines for project progress monitoring and follow-up.

Automating the excavator

Leica Geosystems offers several tools that will increase the productivity of your excavator by automating vital functions. The new semi-automatic functionality for excavator offers partly or fully automation of the boom, bucket, tilt bucket or tilt rotator. Use the semi-automatic excavator functionality to perform complex excavation tasks such as slope creation and trenching faster and more accurately. Other automating features such as iXE CoPilot and Automatic Tool Recognition help the operator to work with less fatigue and higher working comfort with resulting less over digging and reduced operational costs.

Case Studies Semi-Automatic Excavator

Higher accuracy

For a rental company like SEM, offering the semi-automatic excavator for their fleet will benefit their customers' operators to perform fine grading tasks with tighter tolerances.

Less operator fatigue

Anders Andersen from Jamas can now offer semi-automatic excavators to their Doosan customers and help their customers to get their fine grading work right the first time.

Fast fine grading

Johann Gottschalk from the company Max Bögl has been using machine control for over 15 years. The semi-automatic functionality has recently been added to his Liebherr machine and helped him to perform fine grading tasks even faster and more accurately.
