Leica rig solutions for pile drivers and drill rigs

Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, has launched iCON rig solutions for pile drivers and drill rigs on the one-for-all MC1 3D machine control software platform to guide operators to the exact position and depths needed for construction projects. Further growing its construction portfolio of products, Leica Geosystems now allows rig operators to work faster, safer and more accurately on site and share real-time data between field and office. Users can leverage the same interchangeable MCP80 panel to run the MC1 3D machine control software as an intuitive all-in-one system for drill rigs and pile drivers.

The Leica iCON iRP3 for pile drivers and the Leica iCON iRD3 for drill rigs 3D machine control solution on the MC1 platform is connected to all other operations on the construction project, supporting IREDES, KOF and LandXML file formats and integrate seamlessly with the iCON portfolio. Thanks to the new configuration of the iCON rig solution, the operators can work in any GNSS-denied areas with dual total station positioning. MC1 allows users to share and visualise all project and as-built data directly on the panel through Leica ConX, the cloud-based collaboration platform, connecting the field and office seamlessly. With the seamless integration among the iCON portfolio, drill patterns are created in Leica’s iCON site.

Both innovations are available for hands-on demonstrations at CONEXPO-CON/AGG March 10th to 14th in Las Vegas, USA, on the Hexagon Booth in North Hall, at stand #N-12166.
