Trimble is broadening its range of products with the introduction of its new DPS900 Drilling and Piling System and Business Center and the Loadrite X2350 Payload Management System for excavators.
According to the firm, the DPS900 Drilling and Piling system allows contractors to drill precisely at a specified location, to preset levels for depth, orientation and inclination angle. The HCE Drilling and Piling module is said to offer contractors tools to create optimised drilling and piling plans that can help increase efficiency and productivity.
For blasthole drilling applications this package is said to allow better rock fragmentation and can also reduce hauling costs. The system helps optimise drill hole spacing, drill angle, and the location of the machine for a more even pattern of blasting. This ensures a more efficient blast, with fewer fines and oversize material, as well as reduced danger from flyrock. As a higher percentage of blasted rock is within the desired size range, crushing and screening operations are more efficient and productive, with lower wear on the equipment. There is a reduced need for costly secondary breaking to reduce oversized material and the system also helps lower wear and tear on loading and hauling fleets as the blasted floor will be more even.
The company claims that the system is designed for ease of use, with streamlined workflows and an intuitive user interface aimed at use in construction jobs. This package forms part of the2122 Trimble Connected Site strategy, a series of solutions that provide a high-level of process and workflow integration from the design phase through to the finished project.
Meanwhile the5004 Loadrite X2350 Payload Management System for excavators is a dynamic onboard weighing package that can to optimise bucket loads, track load out tonnage, and monitor cycle times. The system offers users the ability to generate accurate, measured payload data from excavators, helping maximise productivity with less rework. It can improve excavator productivity by accurately weighing the bucket load and displaying the payload information on an indicator in the cab. The X2350 can eliminate the cost of additional machines and trucks to support the excavator. On a typical project, a contractor can eliminate the need for one wheeled loader or one truck to haul material away.
Using the system reduces the risk of double handling materials and turnarounds at the truck weigh station due to over- or under-loading. It can also reduce costly fines for overloading haul trucks and unnecessary under-loaded truck cycles that waste fuel and time. Knowing accurate load cycle counts allows for more effective management of excavators and material. In-field time stamped printed reports additionally monitor material inventories and production for reporting of loading activity throughout the day.
