Trimble / CAT MS995 GNSS Smart Antenna Machine Control Receiver
The Trimble MS995 is a rugged GNSS smart antenna for machine control used for guiding dozers, excavators graders, and other earthmoving equipment to design grade. It combines the GNSS receiver and antenna in one fully sealed machine mounted unit delivering the precise positioning that grade control systems need. It was also supplied under the Caterpillar name as part of CAT AccuGrade systems and it works with Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System.
Key Features Trimble MS995
- High-precision GNSS positioning: a machine control receiver built for grading, excavation, and construction work
- Advanced RTK engine: fast satellite re initialization and accurate positioning even in obstructed environments
- Comprehensive satellite support: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou on current versions with some kits shipped with GPS, GLONASS, and QZSS enabled (depending on firmware and options)
- Integrated smart antenna design: receiver and antenna in a single housing that mounts directly on the machine
- Real-time data: reliable real time positions for accurate machine control
- Rugged, sealed housing: an IP rated enclosure designed to withstand dust, vibration, and weather on the jobsite
- Compatible with Trimble GCS900: works with Trimble Grade Control System components such as the CB460 control box, SNR930 900 MHz machine radio, and sensors
- Compatible with CAT AccuGrade: also used with Trimble base stations in mixed fleet setups
- Dual-antenna configurations: commonly installed in pairs (dual MS995) on dozers and excavators for 3D position and heading
- Productivity benefits: helps operators achieve greater accuracy, reduce rework, and increase productivity on every project
Typical Applications
- 3D dozer and grader grade control
- Excavator 3D guidance and digging to design
- Site preparation, road building, and earthworks
- Mixed fleets using Trimble and CAT AccuGrade systems
- Rover and base supported RTK machine control
Why Choose It
The ms995 trimble gives machine control systems the dependable centimeter level positioning they need in a tough sealed package. Its compatibility with Trimble GCS900 and CAT AccuGrade means it can be fitted to many machines and mixed fleets.
