Leica Geosystems 3D Machine Control for Operatives

This one-day course explores how 3D machine controls can reduce costs on site. Plant operatives will learn primary functions and features to use the equipment correctly.

Course content

The course includes:

• How GNSS antennas receive signals and corrections are applied using a local base station or network RTK
• Explanation of GNSS technology and how it can improve construction workflow
• How to classify machine control into two categories using the extra hydraulic function
• Hardware overview and calibration requirements
• The basics of a 2D systems and UI of the MC1 system and how to navigate menus
• Diagnose potential problems and checks
• Data syn process, including how to select projects, models and co-ordinate systems
• Basic use, including offsets, selecting linework and surfaces, recording as-build points and customisation.
• How to create your own model using the on-board tools.

Teaching and assessment

Classroom-based theory and practical sessions using simulation software. NOCN-assured training resources are used.

Assessment:

• Practical assessment (Pass mark: 10/10)
• Multiple-choice test and short written answer question paper (Pass mark: 11/15)

Learners must pass both parts of the assessment. One resit of each is allowed.
