Operation. AccuGrade ATS is a high-accuracy dynamic tracking system thatuses an Advanced Tracking Sensor (ATS)to track a machine and monitor bladepositioning. An ATS instrument on thework site is used to track a target, whichis mounted on the blade of the machine,to determine precise 3D positioning.

Active target technology allows thesystem to reliably lock onto and track

the intended target. This ensures thecorrect machine is being tracked andeliminates false lock-ons to other activemachine targets, survey crews, orreflective surfaces. Built-in searchintelligence allows the system toquickly search for and find the targetwhen the lock is lost due to a passingvehicle or other interruption.

The ATS instrument continuouslymeasures the targets position andtransmits real-time positioning datato the operator via the in-cab display,which shows the exact position of theblade in relation to the design.

The system combines the position of thetarget with the known position of theinstrument, machine measurementsand sensor outputs to calculate precise

positioning of the blade tips. The systemuses the positioning data to calculatedesired elevation and cross slope.Cut and fill values are computed bycomparing the position of the bladewith the design file. The system makesautomatic blade adjustments typicallyperformed by the operator and providesautomatic blade control to one or bothcutting edge tips.

AccuGrade ATS puts the informationthe operator needs to complete the jobin the cab. The operator simply steers

the machine to achieve fine gradesurfaces with high-precision accuracy.

ATS System. When combined withAccuGrade Cross Slope, the ATS systemprovides automated blade adjustmentsto one or both sides of the blade forautomatic control of both elevationand cross slope.

ATS Instrument. The ATS instrument isa robotic total station that makes high-precision measurements of the azimuth,altitude and distance to the target.Specially designed servomotors work with the tracking software to allow theinstrument to track a target moving attypical machine speeds. If the target islost, the instrument predicts the speedthe target is moving so it can relocatethe target.
