JCB and Leica Geosystems offer factory fitted 2D and 3D machine control

JCB and Leica Geosystems launch a global partnership introducing factory-fitted 2D and 3D-ready machine control solutions with INTELLIGRADE semi-auto configuration to enhance productivity. 

To find out more, Peter Haddock went to its Kevin Quarry press launch and spoke to expert James McMillan. 

“Our new solutions, known as INTELLIGRADE, will be available initially on the JCB 220X tracked excavator before being offered across the whole JCB X Series range, including our newly launched 370 X Series 37 tonne model.

“Through our partnership with Leica Geosystems, customers will now be 2D and 3D ready from the factory, with the benefit of a full warranty and support from our dealer network.

“As part of this offering, we have introduced a new user experience powered by our JCB UX tablet and optimised the cradle positioning for the Leica Geosystems 3D tablet. 

“Customers will also notice a new specially designed mount for the antennas and extra guarding for the boom and bucket sensors that support both 2D and 3D operation. 

“This approach makes it easier and safer for operators, helping them enhance productivity and accuracy by automating functions such as boom, bucket, and tilt rotator control.” 

And, of course, JCB Finance is now including the factory fit option in its range of machine finance solutions.
