Volvo Active Control for Dig Assist
Volvo Active Control is a semi-autonomous system designed to enhance the efficiency and precision of digging tasks. As an add-on to Dig Assist it automates repetitive movements, such as boom and bucket actions, allowing the operator to focus on more complex aspects of the job.
Precision digging - every time
Enhance your digging and loading efficiency with advanced control features. Swing control stops the swing motion at a set angle for precise digging and truck loading, with manual joystick override available.
Bucket angle control maintains a consistent cutting angle automatically and returns to the set angle at the press of a button. Tilt bucket control simplifies the excavation of V-shaped ditches, improving productivity.
Boundary limits
The depth limit feature prevents the bucket tip from going beneath a pre-set depth, ensuring it avoids contact with underground hazards such as pipes and cables.
Similarly, the height limit feature prevents the boom and bucket from exceeding a pre-set elevation, thereby avoiding overhead obstacles like power lines.
Additionally, the swing fence feature ensures that the swing does not exceed pre-set limits, protecting against contact with side obstacles.
How it works
Volvo Active Control is a steer-by-wire solution, combined with Volvo’s new electro-hydraulic control system, as well as Dig Assist software platform.
It is engineered, manufactured and installed entirely by Volvo to ensure full reliability, and no hydraulic pilot lines means means faster servicing and more uptime.
