Volvo Active Control
Boundary limits
Avoid underground hazards
Set a depth limit to prevent the bucket from hitting buried pipes or cables, protecting your crew and your budget.
Prevent overhead contact
Use height limits to stop the boom and bucket before they reach power lines or other dangerous overhead obstacles.
Protect your surroundings
Establish a swing fence to stay within safe zones and avoid people and side obstacles like traffic, buildings or other machines.
Additional assist and protect features
Automated grading
Boom and bucket movements are automatically adjusted to maintain an even grade. With single-lever grading, your left hand controls the arm speed, while your right hand takes a break.
Swing control
Allows to pre-program the location of the trench and pile, to assist in digging and truck loading. Can be overridden with the joystick.
Bucket angle control with return to dig
Automated bucket adjustments maintain a constant cutting angle.
Tilt bucket control
Digging a V-shaped ditch is made easy with automated tilt bucket control.
Automate your 3D plans
Take the manual effort out of complex grading by pairing Volvo Active Control with your 3D site designs. By integrating with Unicontrol or Topcon, Active Control allows the bucket to automatically follow the digital surface of your project — helping you hit precise grades faster with less operator input.
