SUNNYVALE, Calif. and
PELLA, Iowa, Aug. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble
(NASDAQ:TRMB) and Vermeer announced today the introduction of a
Trimble Ready® factory
option for the new Vermeer T1255III Direct Drive Terrain
Leveler® surface excavation machine (SEM). Vermeer
T1255III SEMs that ship from the factory Trimble Ready make it faster and easier to
install a Trimble® GCS900 Grade Control
System, which can reduce the cost and complexity of the
installation.
The Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System uses GPS to control
cutting head depth and pitch. Operators can cut to the surface mine
plan more precisely and eliminate rapid changes in cutting depth,
which can impact productivity. Machine steering coordinates can
also be provided by GCS900 to reduce human error for cutting head
overlap and maximize the efficiency of the machine. In addition,
the mine operator can set parameters where the machine can and
cannot cut using a 3D constructible model and machine control.
"Trimble and Vermeer have worked closely together to make
precision machine control and steering available for the Vermeer
T1255III Direct Drive Terrain Leveler SEM," said Patrick Robinson of Vermeer. "When the Trimble
GCS900 Grade Control System is used, productivity gains can be
realized by our customers."
"We are excited to introduce a Trimble
Ready option for the new Vermeer Terrain Leveler SEM that
can make it faster and less expensive to install Trimble
technology," said Jim Green,
business area director for Trimble OEM Solutions, Civil Engineering
and Construction Division. "Contractors may now realize an even
quicker return on their construction technology investment."
Availability
The Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System for Vermeer T1255III
Direct Drive Terrain Leveler SEMs is available globally through the
SITECH® dealer channel.
