Intelligent Machine Control
Productivity is the key to success on your job site, and the faster your crew can reach a state of maximum productivity, the better. Now you have a powerful tool to help make that happen with Komatsu’s Intelligent Machine Control (IMC). Incorporating a host of advanced, proprietary machine technology, IMC gives you the opportunity to take advantage of sophisticated, productivity-enhancing automation and cutting-edge job site design.
Easily apply advanced automation
technology to your job sites.
Have you ever watched your construction crews, surrounded by modern equipment, begin a job by pounding a wooden stake into the ground and think, “Isn’t there a better way?” There is. And it’s available to you right now. Using Komatsu’s innovative Intelligent Machine Control (IMC), you can program 3D design data directly into your machines. Your operators — even those with less experience — can work with utmost efficiency, guided by sophisticated automation. You can be confident that you’re getting the most from your machines, your crew and your carefully designed plan.

Auto-Stop Control
How does Auto-Stop Control prevent from over-digging?
It stops the bucket edge on the design surface during boom, arm or bucket operation, and eliminates over-digging past the desired grade. Operators can safely rely on the system’s intervention when required: no more need to constantly check the monitor or to worry about re-work. Just relax and be productive.
Auto Grade Assist
How does the Auto Grade Assist make the perfect grade?
Even a new operator can now easily deliver that perfect grade! During a grading pass, the system automatically raises the boom and the bucket edge precisely traces the design surface. The operator just controls the desired grading speed with the left hand lever. This simplification of a previously quite complex manual operation boosts productivity and efficiency with unsurpassed accuracy.
Minimum Distance Control
What is Minimum Distance Control?
Each bucket is easily calibrated to the excavator, so that the iMC system can always calculate the bucket’s nearest point or the “minimum distance” to the design model. Regardless of the bucket’s orientation, the system will always prevent it from damaging the surface. This gives operators confidence that, in the event of a mistake or when working on complex designs, the iMC system will always support them.
Auto Tilt Control
How does Auto Tilt Control work? Why does it make tilt operation easier?
Tilting bucket operation becomes automatic. The iMC 2.0 system intuitively adjusts the bucket to the design surface, and keeps the bucket edge exactly on the grade throughout the grading pass, with no need for manual adjustment. Delivering slopes and complex designs are now effortless!
Bucket Angle Hold
Can iMC 2.0 system maintain a constant bucket angle?
Enables the operator to automatically set the bucket grading or digging angle. The iMC 2.0 system maintains a constant bucket angle, removing the need for the operator to adjust manually, boosting ease of operation in final grading or trimming work.
IMC excavators
Give your operators the power to work more efficiently than they ever could with conventional aftermarket machine guidance (indicate only) or manual operation. Intelligent Machine Control excavators with semi-automatic control offer the capability to work smart from rough digging to finish grading, and help minimize over-excavation to make every pass count.
- Semi-automatic for trenching, slope work and high production applications
- Protection + precision + performance = the formula for pursuing maximum productivity versus conventional machine guidance
IMC dozers
If your goal is to achieve maximum productivity at your job site, you need to carefully plan your work, and then work your plan. With Intelligent Machine Control dozers you can work your plan with utmost efficiency and accuracy. Through automatic dozing, rough cut to finish grade, IMC-equipped machines help you make every pass count to achieve superior production compared to traditional aftermarket systems.
