GPS controlled Hitachi Zaxis 470 Fumotec Vario Earthmovers
 

Hello friend´s,

Last week at the construction fair BAUMA 2016 in munich, i saw a fantastic excavator from Prolec.

The machine is build with acceleration sensors. So every move of the Hitachi can analyzed and controlled with computer tool´s.

It was amazing to watch this machine and controlled it like al real Excavator!

That is amazing! Very clever. I want one for my future Komatsu PC700 1:14 scale.
Thanks for finding and sharing that with us!

It's neat, but who has $50,000 laying around for just the GPS!
Cheers!

you are right...
it´s just a single item. But, in my mind, it show´s what could be realized in our hobby!

let´s have a look at the Commander from ScaleART. With the receiver you can see the level of the model.

In this model, my friend fiddles about, how can by tilt automatically the shield with this receiver.
