The introduction of the MT900C Active Machine Target or Advanced Tracking Sensor (ATS) for AccuGrade ATS systems broadens Caterpillar’s reach into the machine control and guidance industry through the addition of support for Ac-cuGrade ATS on both motor graders and track-type tractors. The motor grader or dozer operator can conduct real-time fine grading operations with increased accuracy without fear of losing instrument lock.
The target uses a 360-degree ring of infrared LEDs to allow reliable tracking from any horizontal direction. The infrared LEDs emit one of 16 programmable IDs that allow the instrument to lock on and track the correct target every time. The MT900C is designed to endure extreme temperatures, vibration, moisture, and dust. The solid aluminum end caps and rugged, sealed network connector are designed to take the knocks and keep on working. The high-strength acrylic lens is designed to resist scratching and cracking. The MT900C operates in a wide range of temperatures (–40°C to +80°C) to keep operators in the cab comfortable.
The AccuGrade ATS system allows the operator to achieve high accuracy and eliminates rework. The MT900C provides enhanced dynamic tracking performance and guaranteed lock to the correct target ensuring the correct machine is being tracked. This is especially important in dusty conditions.
