Leica Geosystems announces 3D machine control compatibility options for Caterpillar NGH excavators

Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, announced a new option for Caterpillar Next Gen Hydraulic (NGH) excavator users to leverage Leica Geosystems’ 3D machine control solution with Cat Assist features. To get the job done right the first time, civil contractors want solutions that are easy to use. Through this strategic cooperation, Leica Geosystems and Caterpillar now offer simplified installation of the Leica MC1 3D machine control technology into the Caterpillar Next Gen 2D excavators. The enhanced interoperability will provide customers with simpler installation of the Leica MC1 3D machine control solution as an aftermarket system on existing Caterpillar’s standard NGH. www.leica-geosystems.com
