KOMATSU has successfully developed and marketed the HYPER GX series computer-controlled, intelligent hydraulic excavators. The development concepts of the HYPER GX series are as follows: Representative of these is the fully automatic grading function, with which the movement of boom, arm and bucket is computer-controlled to enable automatic excavation at a predetermined gradient. Here, the operator simply needs to press a switch, allowing even inexperienced operators to execute straight digging easily and without fatigue, usually a very difficult operation requiring substantial experience.Additionally, the machine is equipped with 12 newly developed advanced functions, such as bucket monitor, electrically cushioned cylinders and soft mode (for shock-free movement). This machine is currently being used throughout Japan in a variety of jobsites where it enjoys a high reputation.This paper presents the development concepts, configuration, functions and advantages of the HYPER GX hydraulic excavator.
