Topcon MC Mobile

Topcon MC-Mobile – Excavator Machine Control System

Topcon MC-Mobile is a flexible machine control solution for excavators of all sizes, allowing operators to measure, design and build directly from the cab. Designed for compact and mid-size machines, MC-Mobile improves accuracy, productivity and confidence on site — without the cost or complexity of full automation.

MC-Mobile is supplied as a modular system, available with 2D laser indication, dual GNSS, or LPS positioning using the LN-160, and can be configured as a wiring kit, cab kit or complete installed package.

One system. Multiple ways to work.

MC-Mobile is a 3-in-1 solution, giving operators the ability to:

Measure key points and surfaces

Design or update simple site plans

Build using machine control, all from the excavator

With detachable positioning sensors and a rugged touchscreen display, MC-Mobile allows crews to move seamlessly between checking, layout and construction tasks — reducing rework and improving first-time accuracy
