AutoDig

AutoDig is a software-enabled attachment that controls the implement system during bucket loading for accurate, repeatable performance and reduced operator fatigue. It is ideal for inexperienced operators and for remote operation. Autodig is not compatible with third-party remote systems.

Traction Control

Traction control maximizes tire life for increased machine uptime and reduced maintenance costs.

OPERATOR PRESENT SYSTEM

The Operator Present System helps protect the machine and operator from uncontrolled movements. The system automatically engages the parking brake, neutralizes the steering implement and transmission control and shuts down the engine if the operator fails to apply the park brake before exiting the cab. The engine shutdown configuration can be changed by your Cat dealer using Cat Electronic Technician.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM

This system provides early warning when tires lose pressure. Wireless sensors inside each tire provide real-time, temperature-compensated pressure values, and will trigger alerts in the event of under-inflation or rapid decompression. Compatible with Electronic Technician and Product Link.

PRODUCT LINK™ ELITE — MACHINE HEALTH INFORMATION

Product Link™ Elite boosts connectivity and increases the availability of data provided by the machine. The onboard hardware collects and transmits data to local or cloud-hosted applications like MineStar™ Health Office, Health Equipment Insights, Equipment Care Advisor or Vision Link.

This system opens the door for industry-leading equipment health and condition monitoring services from Caterpillar and your Cat dealer.

Monitoring System and Diagnostics

Underground mining isn’t easy. Mines are harder to navigate, visibility is limited and communication is more difficult than it is on the surface. But Cat MineStar Solutions for Underground Trucks can help you meet these challenges and get more out of your underground operation.

Caterpillar is committed to joining you wherever you are on your technology journey. Our experts will work with you to develop a solution that meets your mine's specific challenges.

The R1700 can be equipped with all the hardware necessary for the Cat MineStar technologies of your choice right out of the factory. Retrofit kits are also available to implement MineStar on machines already working in the field. Talk to your dealer for more information.
