Presenters Name
TARGET CUSTOMERS Customer segments served
– Excavation contractors– Utility contractors– Site work contractors
Targeting applications and customers using smaller machines such as:– Skid-steer, backhoes, drag boxes, small dozers,
excavators Customer needs
– Ruggedness and durability– Works with existing lasers– Portability between machines– Low cost method to increase productivity of their
smaller machines– Entry level price point
PRODUCT PORTFOLIO
Product line consists of: – Display receivers, 3 models – Automatic control laser systems– Accessories
Products are targeted at the small contractor/owner-operator– Attractive entry level pricing– Innovative features– Portability, useful on multiple
machines
APPLICATION: HOUSING PADS
Adjustable on-grade band settings match the receiver to jobsite specifications
More pads completed in a day Easily installed and removed May be used on a variety of
machines
APPLICATION: BUILDING PADS
Used as a display system for balancing material and in automatic for finished grading
Optimum in material management
APPLICATION: EXCAVATING
When installing storm drains or waste pipe the operator checks grade as he works
Keeps people out of harms way and out of the ditch
APPLICATIONS: TRENCHING
This simple system directs you to grade and keeps you there
Reduces trench “undercut”
Optimize your machine’s productivity
APPLICATIONS: SPORTS FIELDS
Cut slopes, flat to a table top surface
Keeps up with the smaller faster moving finishing blades
Reduces time to job completion

Common Laser Receiver Features And Benefits
RUGGED
Shock mounted electronics for stable performance
Tough aluminum/poly carbonate housing for superior knock and drop protection
360° RECEPTION
No dead spots caused by laser beam blockage
Laser can be placed in a location where it will not get damaged
Operator can focus on machine operation, not on the laser reception
MULTIPLE POWER OPTIONS
Uses NiMH rechargeable batteries for lower power costs
Alkaline batteries can be used as backup Long battery life:
– 55 hours NiMH– 75 hours Alkaline
Auto shut-off after 75 minutes for reduced power wastage
No downtime due to power loss Convenient charging port
IP67 DUST AND WATER PROOF
Withstands harsh jobsite conditions
Reduced repair costs due to dust or water ingression
MULTIPLE MOUNTING OPTIONS
Built in clamps allow receiver to securely fasten to square or oval masts
Strong clamp means receiver cannot move if slammed or shaken
Spectra Precision Laser Machine Control
Features And Benefits
SPECTRA PRECISION LASER LR30
7" photocell height for large laser reception
5 channel display- easier to find on-grade
3 deadband settings to optimize accuracy v. speed requirements
2 Brightness settings to optimize visibility and reduce eye strain
SPECTRA PRECISION LASER LR50
7" photocell height for large laser reception
6 channel display in excavating mode, 5 channel display for center on-grade
- easier to find on-grade- optimized for excavation
3 deadband settings for excavation and 3 deadband settings for grading - to optimize accuracy and application requirements 2 Brightness settings
to optimize visibility and reduce eye strain
The offset grade feature allows you to move the on-grade position and optimize for applications (e.g. longer lower photocell for excavating)
SPECTRA PRECISION LASER LR50
Grading(center on-grade) and excavation(offset on-grade) modes optimize the product to the application
Built-in plumb sensor and 3 sensitivity settings helps the user find plumb for easier excavating, and better accuracy
Built-in tilt sensor and 3 sensitivity settings help the user keep the blade level
Fully linear photocells, means you can upgrade to automatic machine control
Center on-grade Offset on-grade
SPECTRA PRECISION LASER LR60
9" photocell height for largest laser reception
9 channel display- easier to find on-grade
2 plumb mode settings:Standard and ACE- ACE (Angle Compensation for Excavation) allows accurate grade checking with the excavator arm out of plumb speeding up the process
LCD mode display
4 deadband settings
CONTROL BOX – CB25
Creates low cost automatic machine control system– Better productivity and reduced costs
Works with LR50, LR60 receivers– Flexibility to match jobsite conditions and
specifications The CB25 has 16 deadband settings from
0-38 mm(1.5”) to match material/leveling needs
Simple to use and operate for minimum training time
Can be easily moved to another machine for maximum ROI
Drives a wide range of valves for maximum flexibility
