Work Area Vision System
Improves Worksite Safety
A new machine-mounted closed-circuit vision system helps improve productivity as well as safety on the jobsite. While it is not intended to be used in place of direct views or installed mirrors, the Work Area Vision System enhances awareness of surroundings, work tool activity and changing conditions in the work area, the maker says. The system includes a 7-in. color thin-film-transistor LCD display that gives the operator an increased field of vision in the cab. The camera provides two offerings, panoramic (115�) or narrow (78�). Caterpillar Electronics and Electrical Systems; 309/578-3985; www.catelectronics.com
