KomVision is the name given by Komatsu to its new ‘surround view’ visibility system now being fitted as a standard safety feature on all excavators.
KomVision is said by Komatsu to be ‘a visual aid’ that goes beyond safety regulations. It complies with the provisions of ISO5006:2017 – the new visibility testing standard which came into force from January 2018 – and is incorporated into the EU standard EN474-1 for earthmoving machinery safety.
Designed to give the operator ultimate peace of mind by providing an all-sides, real-time, bird’s eye view of the machine’s immediate surroundings, KomVision was designed, developed and manufactured by Komatsu as a fully integrated feature that offers seamless connectivity between driver, machine and the surrounding jobsite.
Using a network of high-definition cameras, KomVision projects a crystal clear view of the immediate surroundings on to a widescreen cab monitor that the driver can quickly and easily check prior to making any movements.
