Volvo Active Control is a machine control system that is operated via the 10-inch in-cab Volvo Co-Pilot tablet. The system guides the operator through the functions in order to automate the digging process. Once the required parameters of the job have been entered into the system, it is then
activated by the touch of a button. The excavator then automatically adjusts the boom and bucket movements to make precise cuts, following the desired shape and delivering exactly the right angle of grade; all in a radically shorter timeframe than conventional grading.
