Description

GradeMetrix™ Excavator Machine Control & Guidance Positioning Systems

GradeMetrix is Hemisphere GNSS’ high-precision GNSS-based machine control and guidance system. Whether it is grading, mining, excavating, or compaction applications, GradeMetrix solutions provide superior performance at an exceptional value.

GradeMetrix Key Features

  • All GNSS satellite constellations for maximum accuracy and coverage under challenging environments, including GPS, GNSS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo, and QZSS.
  • Dynamic cut/fill to the centre or either side of the bucket lets operators know the exact location and depth of trenches without the time and cost of expensive grade-checkers and survey professionals.
  • 2D, 2.5D, 3D operation modes are all standard.
  • Operators can create trenches, slopes, and layers to match existing or required heights and create all on-site from the cab within seconds.
  • Supports tilt bucket and laser receiver as standard.
  • Simplified User Interface with multiple views, including plan view, profile view, cross-section view and more.
  • Supports industry-standard file formats including dwg, dxf, LandXML.
  • Quickly locate lines and points yourself, checking work depths as you go.
  • Map projections or localised coordinate systems allow simple site coordination to existing coordinate systems or creation at new sites.
  • Operators visualise the site in real-time, eliminating delays and enabling fast, efficient completion of all site work.

Access to Advanced Technology Features

Hemisphere’s Atlas is an innovative positioning service that delivers correction signals via L-band satellites at scalable accuracies ranging from sub-meter to sub-decimeter levels. Leveraging more than 200 reference stations worldwide and L-band satellites distributing corrections, virtually all the earth’s landmass has coverage.Atlas support is available on all Atlas-capable Hemisphere single and dual-frequency, multi- GNSS, RTK-capable hardware.Atlas compliments third-party GNSS receivers by allowing them to use Atlas corrections with Hemisphere’s innovative BaseLink® capabilities. Also included, is Hemisphere’s aRTK™ technology. aRTK is an Atlas-based RTK augmentation system that provides RTK-level accuracy, availability, and reliability when RTK corrections fail.

 


Hemisphere’s GradeMetrix Excavator solution is powered by hardware components that have undergone extensive shock, vibration, and environmental testing to withstand the harshest job site conditions.

The system is centred around the VR1000 GNSS RTK receiver. The VR1000, with its integrated UHF radio and GNSS receiver, requires a single cable connection to the IronOne display, resulting in the most simplified installation and calibration procedure on the market, and is the result of multiple decades of experience merging GNSS technology with precision applications.

An industry-leading 3-year warranty covers all the GradeMetrix system key components. You can have peace of mind and confidence that your GradeMetrix Excavator solution will provide superior results and performance for the long term.
