TOPCON - MC-MAX — CONTROL SYSTEMSMC-MAX DOZEROPTIMIZE YOUR BULLDOZER FOR THE PROJECT AT HANDThere is nothing worse than being on the job site without the tools you need. MC-Max Dozer powered by the MC-X Platform keeps you in the cab and in control, with the right tools always at your fingertips.BUILT FOR DOZER WORK THAT DEMANDS CONFIDENT GRADE CONTROLFor dozers performing rough grading, site preparation, bulk earthmoving, Residential Utility Trenching and roadbed shaping, 3D-MC Edge helps operators work closer to design from the first pass. By focusing guidance directly on the blade’s cutting edge, it supports more consistent cuts, fewer corrections, and less reliance on manual checks.The result is a practical step into machine control for dozer fleets that need productivity, accuracy, and flexibility across changing jobsite conditions.NO TWO JOBSITES ARE THE SAMESome sites give you open access to the sky and the satellites needed for GNSS or GPS guidance. Others that are close to buildings, in tunnels or under tree canopies may require using robotic total stations for your positioning and machine control needs. MC-Max makes quick work of switching guidance modes to suit your situation.CHOOSE YOUR LEVEL OF CONTROL AND PRECISIONA 2D solution will allow you to work with Sonic, Laser, or slope inputs, and indication solutions will give you the freedom to push dirt by feel. On the other hand, if you need to know your exact position on the site and prefer to let the machine automatically follow the grade design, put MC-Max Dozer in 3D Automatic mode and reduce your end-of-the-day fatigue levels.FEATURES• Accurate and validated work with less rework• Modular components can grow as your project needs and fleets grow• Track and measure all activities and amount of material moved• Easy connectivity for instant data transfer and screen sharingMC-MAX EXCAVATORCONFIGURE YOUR EXCAVATOR TO FIT EVERY SITUATION No two excavating jobs are the same. Why should you be stuck with one setup for your excavator? MC-Max Excavator powered by the MC-X Platform keeps you in the cab and in control with the right configuration for whatever your projects throw at you.YOUR EXCAVATOR CAN WORK LIKE THREE PEOPLE OR MOREOperating an excavator can be exhausting on its own but waiting for others can add delays and fatigue. What if your excavator could be part surveyor, part operator and part grade checker? MC-Max Excavator can be set up to use its bucket to take topo shots, put in automatic control mode to implement designs like a veteran operator and constantly check its own grade work, keeping human grade checkers safely out of trenches and working on other tasks.CHOOSE TO WORK IN 2D OR 3D, IN GUIDANCE OR AUTOMATIC MODES If you just want an indication of bucket-depth in relation to grade, a 2D solution will provide the guidance you need and the freedom to dig on your terms. On the other hand, if you need to precisely know your grade and where on the site you are positioned, putting MC-Max in 3D automatic-mode will keep you on-grade and tracking the design file without over- or under-excavating.EVOLVE WITH THE ENVIRONMENT TO MOVE THE EARTHDigging a trench alongside an open highway may allow you unobstructed satellite-access needed for GNSS guidance. Excavating an underground parking garage in an urban center may require using robotic total stations for your positioning and machine control needs, if tall buildings and infrastructure make GPS an impossibility. MC-Max makes quick work of switching guidance modes to suit your situation.FEATURES• Accurate and validated work with less rework• Modular components can grow as your project needs and fleets grow• Operate the bucket using multiple display and elevation reference options.• As-Built in real-time with Sitelink3D • Auto Tilt/Rotate with automatic controlMC-MAX MOTO GRADEREQUIP YOUR MOTOR GRADER WITH THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOBJob sites or even project phases on the same job sites may have unique requirements. The MC-Max Grader is built on the MC-X Platform, which optimizes your machine for positioning and control needed for the job at hand.OUR MOTOR GRADER SOLUTIONS GO BEYOND OFFERING SUPERIOR GRADING ACCURACY.By enabling real-time adjustments, they significantly reduce the need for rework, leading to major cost and time savings.CHOOSE THE BEST POSITIONING TOOLS FOR THE PROJECTBalancing a job site requires a different level of precision than grading miles of roadbed for a new highway. For example, vertical blade position (2D) information may be enough for one application, yet others require vertical and horizontal (3D) awareness. Those 2D-oriented projects might use simple set-ups, such as a sonic sensor that follows a curb, string line, or existing surface; or a combination of rotary lasers and laser sensors. Some 3D guidance projects allow extensive use of GNSS or GPS, while others require the use of total stations to monitor or control machine positions. Millimeter GPS may be another option, which combines the strengths of GNSS and laser technologies for even higher accuracies.INDICATE OR AUTOMATE?There are times when a rough cut is all you need to get the job done. Having a visual indication of the proper grade and manually controlling the blade is fine for those occasions. When precise tolerances are required, it may make sense to fully automate blade control and leave nothing to chance. The MC-Max Grader provides both options at the push of a button.WHY SLOW DOWN YOUR GRADING WITH GUESSING OR TRACKING GRADE STAKES?The addition of MC-Max and its flexible design boosts your motor grader to achieve greater precision, move more material and reduce operator fatigue. Utilizing the latest Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) for determination of pitch, roll and heading, high speed grading has never been easier. Topcon’s revolutionary 3D-MC machine control software provides the operator with all the information they need to stay on grade and on track. With the addition of high precision 2D or 3D positioning sensors, MC-Max can automatically control the blade or moldboard for elevation, slope and side shift to accurately cut or spread material for a smooth finish.FLEXIBILITY FOR THE WAY YOU WORK Compatible with all of Topcon’s existing sensor technology, the latest (CAN) and older (non-CAN) motor graders can be outfitted with the tools needed to accomplish the task. Whether it is simple flat or complex slope work, MC-Max can get it done.

Choose from entry-level systems that follow a reference; or fuller-featured solutions that track your milling machine in 3D and enable automated variable depth milling for ultimate road smoothness.VARIABLE DEPTH MILLINGTraditional milling techniques often involve taking off a fixed depth of the old surface to prepare for the application of a new layer of asphalt. This may result in a wavy or uneven road maintaining its former shape even after it is repaved.Variable depth milling automatically adjusts the mill’s blade height to average the high and low points for a smoother road with a longer projected lifespan. This technique is especially valuable and provides a better driving experience over longer distances.3D MILLING OPTIONSOur 3D milling systems use Millimeter GPS, GNSS, or robotic total stations to position and report on the machine’s location. This reduces reliance on string lines or other references and accelerates the milling process. Files used during the 3D milling process are often usable at the paving or compaction stages of a road project. In addition, 3D milling tends to ease the downstream burdens on paving and compacting teams.2D MILLING OPTIONSSometimes following the well-traveled road is the right approach. Our 2D milling systems use sonic trackers or other sensors to follow string lines, existing surfaces, or curbs. Mill and fill (also known as mill and overlay) projects or relatively consistent paved surfaces are good uses of this technologySpecifications and data shown are subject to change with or without prior notice.
