3D-Machine Control Systems Pointman Training - Livermore, CA (October 11-12, 2018)

Program Overview

The 3D-MC Pointman Training is a 2-day, instructor-led program designed to provide a complete overview of Topcon's 3D-MC solutions and their capabilities.  The student will learn the construction field processes, applications and advanced functions for the 3D Machine Control systems (3D-MC) for motor graders, bulldozers, and excavators through classroom and hands-on lessons. The program reviews the theory of system operation, and proper setup and calibrations techniques so you make sure your machines are performing to their maximum capability. The program also covers operational functions of the 3D-MC software, and focuses on jobsite applications to you will be able to maximize the benefits of 3D-MC on your real-world jobsites.  

Expectations and Goals

Upon completion of the course, the student will have received the training to be able to get the 3D-MC machines setup and performing properly on the jobsite. He/she will also be able to utilize the many operational functions of 3D-MC to be able to maximize efficiency on the jobsite. 

Training Class Syllabus

  • Topcon Product overview
  • Grader/Dozer/Excavator machine setup
  • 3D-MC valve calibration
  • 3D-MC sensor calibrations for dozer and grader systems
  • Bucket setup and calibration for excavators
