Systems to achieve even greater productivity.
AccuGrade™ System for Track-Type Tractors
Caterpillar is helping customers revolutionize the way they move material with new technology
solutions for earthmoving machines – solutions that provide greater accuracy, higher productivity,
lower operating costs and more profitability. The AccuGrade System is designed and integrated into the
machine and hydraulic systems to create an automated blade control. Blade-mounted sensors calculate
precise blade slope and elevation information. The integrated electro-hydraulic valve control module
uses the information from the sensors to automatically adjust the blade to maintain grade. Automated
blade control allows operators to improve efficiency and productivity by achieving grade faster and
in fewer passes than ever before, reducing the need for traditional survey stakes or grade checkers.
Grade Control Ready
The D7E ships from the factory with grade control system wiring and mounting points already
installed. This makes adding AccuGrade quick and easy, and optimizes performance and reliability.
Productivity is further enhanced by the D7E distributed electro-hydraulic system. Hydraulic valves
are placed next to the components they control for quicker response and faster cycle times.
