Automatic
Blade Control
Automatic laser machine control is a proven method for
dramatically increasing the productivity and accuracy of
grading equipment. Material and labor cost savings are added
benefits. With the TORNADO F1 Blade Control products, the
price of automatic blade control is now more affordable than
ever.
Laser blade control is used on construction grading
machinery to automatically control the blade in earthmoving
and grading applications. It is also used on agricultural
land leveling and farm drainage machinery. A BULLSEYE laser
receiver is mounted above the cutting edge of the blade. A
control box and a hydraulic installation kit are tied into
the machine's hydraulic system. Grade information from a
rotating laser is processed and automatically directs the
machine's hydraulics to maintain the elevation of the blade. TORNADO F1 Blade Control can be used on most fine grading
equipment including dozers, box blades, drag scrapers, and
carry-all type scrapers as well as trenchers and drainage
plows.
The system features true proportional hydraulics for smooth
and precise control.
