Premium In-Cab Grade Display
A Larger, Smarter Display in a More Compact Housing
The Trimble® MS996 GNSS Smart Antenna contains an integrated GNSS receiver, antenna, an isolation system in a single, rugged housing that can withstand even the toughest construction site environments.
The Trimble CB460 enhances the operator experience with a large 7” screen display of 3D profile information, grade guidance, and warnings – that is the same size as the older CB430 Control Box and 61% larger than the CB450 Control Box. While maintaining the same display size, the total size of the unit housing is smaller than the Trimble CB430 Control Box, allowing more flexibility with mounting in tight spaces. Adjustable brightness capability and viewing angle accommodate different operational lighting conditions, while reducing operator fatigue and errors.
Premium Grade Control Display
What is the Trimble CB460?
The Trimble CB460 is a rugged, high-performance grade control display built for civil construction environments. It provides operators with real-time grade guidance, design data, and visual alerts while working on site, helping improve accuracy, productivity, and operator confidence.
The CB460 is compatible with a wide range of machine types including dozers, graders, excavators, and compactors when paired with Trimble machine control systems.
Trimble CB460 Specifications
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Screen size | 7-inch colour display |
| Compatibility | Trimble GCS900, CCS900 |
| Modes | 2D & 3D grade control |
| Storage | 3.7 GB internal |
| Data Transfer | USB |
| Lightbars | Internal + external support |
The CB460 uses icons for the main guidance softkeys instead of text strings . Softkeys are easier to read and provide a more modern interface for the user. Four integrated LED lightbars make it simple to monitor grade guidance information while also viewing conditions on the site. The CB460 can also be supplemented with external lightbars.
Create New Designs and Apply the Desired Coordinate System in the Field
Using the CB460, an operator can create new designs (level, slope or map) on the display and define what coordinate system to use with this new design, either the last used coordinate system, a coordinate system located on the displays storage disk or a new coordinate system based on the current location.
This in-field functionality offers several benefits, including:
-
The ability to keep horizontal and vertical positions consistent at each site when using designs generated in the field.
-
The ability to create infield designs including infield coordinate system definition for use on sites that do not yet have a defined coordinate system
-
The ability to select which coordinate system to apply. Having the wrong coordinate system loaded even when creating new designs has the potential of giving bad guidance.
Data Transfer via USB memory stick
The CB460 utilizes internal memory for storing designs, machine files and machine production information. Using any USB memory stick, the user can easily load design files and firmware to the control box, download machine production files and load firmware to the control box. File transfer and archiving rules prevent operators from accidently deleting or overwriting files on the CB460.
USB data transfer also increases compatibility with Trimble Site Positioning System controllers which also have USB ports. This allows for easy data exchange between surveyors, grade checkers, site supervisors and machine operators – e.g. data can be synchronized to a site supervisor who can then rapidly deploy or retrieve data from a Trimble Tablet or TSC3 to or from the machine control system using a USB stick.
Flexible Upgrade Options Make it Easy to Order the Right Level of Functionality
Trimble CB460 Control Box can be configured for different functionality levels, based on the requirements of the customer. Trimble CB460 Control Box requires activation with option keys to enable desired 2D or 3D functionality.
In general, the following functionality levels are available:
-
2D indicate plus Automatics
-
3D Indicate (includes 2D indicate + Automatics)
-
3D Automatics (includes 3D indicate)
