Illustration 3 g06181319The Grade system depends on the sensors attached along the axis of the pins to provide angular information for the Boom Linkage and the Stick Linkage. These high-speed sensor track the motion of the linkage throughout the range of travel to provide real-time information regarding the linkage position.Bucket Position Sensing Cylinder
Illustration 4 g06181321The Grade system depends on the Bucket Position Sensing Cylinder which contains a protected sensor that provides real-time information regarding the cylinder extension. This high-speed sensor is protected inside the cylinder and provides high accuracy information to be used in the guidance calculations.Laser Catcher
Illustration 5 g06181323The Laser Catcher (also called the Laser Receiver) senses when the device is centered directly in a red wavelength rotating laser plane allowing the Grade system to work directly from a red wavelength rotating laser plane. This enables the Grade system to transfer the elevation target when working in 2D mode and moving or re-orienting the machine.The Laser Catcher may be physically removed. The Grade system will still function as long as the system settings are configured to disable the Laser Catcher.Note: The Laser Catcher will only function with rotating laser planes in the red wavelength spectrum. The Laser Catcher will not function rotating laser planes in the green wavelength spectrum. Rotation speed for laser transmitters should be set to 600 RPM or 900 RPM. High quality rotating laser transmitters are recommended for use with the Grade system for best accuracy and ease of referencing from the laser plane. Spectra Precision GL622, GL720, GL722 Grade Lasers are known to function well with the Grade system.Remote Switches on the Joysticks
Illustration 6 g06181326The joystick Remote Switches provide convenience of performing certain functions without taking hands off the joysticks to press a button on the Machine Monitor. Some frequent Grade operation tasks normally completed on the Machine Monitor or the Grade display may also be completed by the Remote Switches on the joysticks. The accessibility of these Grade functions on the joystick Remote Switches can improve machine and Grade system operation.Note: The functions supported by the joystick Remote Switches can always be completed on the Machine Monitor user interface.The switches on the joystick can be configuredto be utilizedby other machine systems depending on the button and switch combination. The Grade related functions are activated by pulling the left joystick trigger prior to activating the second remote switch.TD520 Grade Display

(12) SpeakerThe main component of the Cat® Grade Control for Excavators is an on-board touch screen display designed specifically for grade control operation. The touch screen display is a computer that runs software for the Cat Grade Control System. It displays guidance information and other information for the operator of the machine. The touch screen display is an interactive platform for adjusting operation parameters for the Excavator.In addition to the display, there are several sensors that are used with the system. The display and sensors are connected by a system harness that allows the components
