Why should I invest in a machine control system?A machine control system makes construction work faster and easier, but it also improves the accuracy and quality of the work. With a machine control system, the operator can easily reach the target level without the need for corrective work. This means savings in material, labor and fuel costs. The operator can take measurements in real-time from the cabin, which saves time and decreases measurement costs. Investing in a machine control system helps contractors gain an advantage over their competitors.
What kind of machines are suitable for machine control?Machine control systems can be installed on many kinds of machines such as excavators, bulldozers, motor graders, wheel loaders, drilling machines and compactors. The size of the machine does not set restrictions. Thanks to our continuous research and development, customer specific applications are also possible. If needed, a machine control system can be moved from one machine to another, with only the sensors needing to be installed on each machine.
Does the systems have to be used by highly skilled operators?No, a highly skilled operator is not necessary. IDigBest machine control systems are designed to be very easy to use. Customers are always given training on the system after installation. Separate training sessions are also available based on the needs or requests of the customer.
Will machine control systems withstand the demanding conditions of earth moving work?Reliability is among the key issues that are given attention in the product development process. The equipment is able to withstand hits, vibration, moisture and temperature changes.
Will I get technical support if I need help?Definitely. IDigBest has always invested in reliability of service and technical support. Help is always quickly and easily available. It is our duty to ensure that our machine control systems work properly.
Why IDigBest software?
IDigBest allows for digging depth
control for excavators and backhoes,
giving the vertical position of the
bucket to the operator in the cab. The
system is based on the angle measurement
of the boom elements to the gravity
reference, giving audible and visual
indications of the vertical position of
the bucket. This system has been
specifically designed for those jobs
where digging depth or slope must be
accurately followed.
Other uses for IDigBest: In some civil engineering projects such as underwater construction, or long ditch digging for extremely deep underground pipelines, the digging operation is quite difficult because the operator cannot easily set a guide line for digging reference. Since the development of hydraulic excavators, operators have relied on the joysticks to dig to grade. If equipped with the Idigbest system, the display will assist in digging accuracy. With the assistance of the system, the operator can pre-set a desired working plane through the monitor screen. Then the digging control system will automatically control the actuators so that the bucket will not go below the plane. The plane can be vertical, or at any angle to the horizontal. With the addition of our optional grade regulator buckets, the operator can dig in all positions and crumb the trench. During the operation, the monitor will display the digging state in real-time.

THE IDIGBEST STORY
The
IDigBest system was created through 25 years
at the controls of an excavator.
The thought was the same project
after project, “I wish I could dig prefect
grade every time and verify the grade
without leaving the cab and not relying on a
shot man”.
After 5 years of experimentation,
extensive R & D coupled with multiple
patents, the system is complete.
The
heart of the IDigBest digging system is a
system with a decade of proven operation in
the field.
Through many patented software
enhancements and breakthroughs, the digging
system has the ability to turn any excavator
or backhoe into a precision measuring tool.
The information at the operator’s
finger tips is something never before
possible.
The elevations for an entire site can
be entered in under 20 seconds.
The operator now has real-time
information at a glance and no longer has
the potential for human error because manual
calculations and a “shot man” are a thing of
the past. ***
Technical Highlight to follow in future articles****
The
most exciting and groundbreaking technology
to be introduced to the excavating industry
through the IDigBest system, is the true
MACHINE CONTROL for excavators and backhoes.
A patented “valve pack” coupled with
the digging system allows operators to dig
and maintain perfect grade through the
entire stroke of the machine.
This is accomplished through a
patented technique known as “flat
bucketing”.
Once the system is engaged, any
bucket that is calibrated into the software
automatically turns to grade, horizontal and
or even vertical, and stays on that grade
while the operator pulls back on the
controls.
At the end of the cycle, the system
is disengaged with the tap of a thumb and
the excavator or backhoe functions as
normal.
What is left behind is a ditch on
perfect grade, slope or profile; crumbed and
the elimination of a “shot man” having to
check for accuracy.
He can now be performing other tasks
on the site to keep the job flowing
smoothly. ***
