Carlson Machine Control, an organization specializing in land improvement and related machine programming, launched each a brand new automated answer for putting structural piles and a brand new improve to its PD Grade Resolution for correct pile placement, PD Grade 3Z. The previous, the Pile Placement answer, consists of Carlson’s specialised Grade software program that gives real-time on-screen views to the operator

“This answer is only a very highly effective addition to any photo voltaic installer’s fleet,” mentioned Carlson’s Discipline Utility Engineer Rodney Thomas. “It’s versatile, versatile, and with its easy consumer interface, operators may be inserting piles precisely with little or no coaching.”
With the power to precisely place color-coded piles to the right offset on the deliberate location, the time and price of flags and their related survey work are drastically diminished, if not eradicated, the corporate acknowledged in a press launch. Carlson Pile Placement consists of an all-in-one GNSS (world navigation satellite tv for pc system) sensor and a Home windows-based management field. With its small footprint, Pile Placement may be put in on any machine used to drop off piles, permitting the identical tools and operator to now place piles at right areas forward of pile driving machines.
Pile Placement can be utilized as a standalone system, or as a part of Carlson’s options for photo voltaic set up that embody Carlson’s just-announced PD Grade 3Z positioning answer for pile driving machines, Carlson Command web site monitoring and administration software program, Carlson’s GNSS base station and Carlson Grade Supervisor for extra correct high quality management within the discipline.
“PD Grade 3Z takes our widespread and field-proven answer for pile driving machines and drastically improves the elevation accuracy,” mentioned Tim Jones, Carlson’s director of machine management. “With this improved model, customers can obtain elevation tolerance extra persistently whereas driving — saving important money and time spent on remediation and rework.”
Carlson’s PD Grade 3Z answer consists of an built-in IP69K-rated GNSS sensor, Carlson’s rugged Home windows-based management field, Carlson PDGrade, a 3D positioning software program developed particularly for piling purposes and a specialised laser sensor that enables precision elevation accuracy.
With the addition of elevation accuracy, the photo voltaic piling workflow may be each simplified and accelerated. Checking elevation with the setup of lasers for every row is eradicated, and dear welding and reducing is drastically diminished. Whereas driving, the machine operator views real-time alignment on-screen with plan, as-built and delta measurements, and pile stories in CSV or PDF codecs are generated.
PD Grade 3Z can function as a standalone system, or as a part of a fleet surroundings, and integrates into Carlson’s full photo voltaic workflow answer, and has a three-year guarantee.
