XW5 Series Rated Capacity Indicator & Integration with Leica Machine Control 3D Avoidance

Product catalog summary
Overview: The XW5 Series is a movement restriction system designed for construction plant machinery, specifically tracked excavators. It integrates with Leica Machine Control 3D Avoidance to enhance safety and efficiency.
Specifications: The system includes a Rated Capacity Indicator (RCI) and provides overload, height, and slew/swing limitations. It uses proportional soft-stop hydraulic valves for precise control without affecting machine performance.
Integration with Leica MC1: Compatible with Leica MC1 V6.6.3 or later, the system allows for the creation and import of 3D avoidance zones. This integration minimizes downtime, reduces costs, and enhances safety for operators and nearby workers.
Height Limitation: The operation is fail-safe and automatic, with easy function selection. All high points are monitored, and motions are controlled with ramped slow down and soft-stop to prevent machine bounce or overshoot.
Slew Limitation: Offers single/dual parallel wall or angular limitation. Limits can be manually set or positioned, with settings retained for future use. An optional access key switch provides additional security.
3D Avoidance Zones: The system controls machine movements when approaching avoidance zones, slowing down before stopping. It prevents breaches into environmental areas or no-go zones and provides visual warnings via Leica MC1 software.

XW5 Series  Rated Capacity Indicator &  Integration with Leica Machine  Control 3D Avoidance-1

XW Series | Movement Restriction System for Construction Plant Machinery The Xwatch XW5 provides overload (RCI), height, slew/ swing limitation and is controlled using proportional soft-stop hydraulic valves providing accurate and repeatable performance without detriment to the machine. Motion control is also used to control the machines movement via drive to the tracks, swing/offset boom, and blade down movement (if fitted to the machine) when connected to the Leica MCI machine control. The Leica MCI machine control software and the 3D Avoidance Zone System will allow users to create or import 3D avoidance zones above and below the surface area directly within the Leica MCI machine control software. The solution minimises downtime, reduces unforeseen costs, and provides a safer environment for machine operators and nearby workers. Providing a useable, repeatable, and easy to set up 3D Avoidance Solution. • Tracked excavators • Compatible with Leica MCI V6.6.3 or later version

XW5 Rated Capacity Indicator & Integration with Leica Machine Control 3D Avoidance Height Limitation Slew Limitation Operation is fail safe and fully automatic with function selection never more that two key presses away. Single/dual parallel wall or angular limitation are available. When walls are in use, the front end equipment is also monitored and controlled for limit breach. All potential machine high points are monitored and appropriate motions controlled. Full power is always available to move away from a limit. Motions are controlled with ramped slow down on approach and soft-stop. There...

XW5 Series  Rated Capacity Indicator &  Integration with Leica Machine  Control 3D Avoidance-3

XW5 Rated Capacity Indicator & Integration with Leica Machine Control 3D Avoidance 3D Avoidance Zones When approaching an avoidance zone, the system will take control of the machine’s height, depth and slew movements triggering the hydraulic functions of the excavator to stop once approaching these zones. The hydraulic control is proportional, meaning the machine’s movement will slow down before completely stopping when approaching an avoidance zone. The motion of the excavator’s tracks can also be disabled so it cannot breach environmental areas or designated no-go zones, even avoid overhead...
