Using Depth and Slope Guidance

In this chapter:

To generate guidance information, the system measures the cutting edge's position relative to a physical reference surface. This is called Depth and Slope guidance.

Unlike Design guidance, depth and slope guidance does not rely on knowing the machine's three dimensional location.

NOTE – These instructions apply to both blade slope and cross slope systems. Use these instructions for either system configuration:

  • Blade slope systems measure - blade slope only
  • Cross slope systems measure - blade slope, blade rotation and machine mainfall
