PC290NLCi-11E0 Komatsu excavator specs & Dimensions (2021 - 2026)

Innovative

The PC290LCi/NLCi-11 with intelligent Machine Control 2.0 (iMC 2.0) provides even greater productivity gains for the customer. The renowned accuracy and automatic grading is enhanced with new features increasing ease of operation and finished quality, and reducing cycle times.

Intelligent

The Komatsu PC290LCi/NLCi-11 intelligent Machine Control excavator lets you focus on moving material efficiently, with no worry about digging too deep. The new iMC 2.0 features mean operations are completed quicker, more accurately and with reduced costs.

Greatly improved efficiency

Komatsu iMC 2.0 makes work even quicker and easier. The automatic features let the operator relax and focus on productivity, with no worry about overdigging. With Auto Grade Assist and Auto Tilt Control, the PC290LCi/NLCi-11 keeps the bucket edge on the grade and increases bucket fill factors.

Auto Tilt Control

The new iMC 2.0 Auto Tilt Control automatically tilts the bucket to design and returns it to horizontal to unload, making delivering final grade quicker and easier.

Bucket angle hold feature

The operator selects the desired bucket angle, and the system maintains the bucket angle through the grading pass. This vastly increases ease of operation on final grading and trimming work.

Automatic real time digging control

Komatsu intelligent Machine Control is based on Komatsu's unique sensor development, stroke sensing hydraulic cylinders, and IMU sensor. You will no longer worry about over digging; when your bucket hits the target surface, the control function automatically limits and maintains grade with real-time bucket edge positioning.

Finger tip control

New lever functions allow the operator to raise or lower the design offset at the touch of a button. The right lever trigger switch activates or deactivates semi-auto mode, making it operator friendly and easy to use.

Intelligent touch screen monitor

The all-new 10.4” touch screen monitor features an accurate display of machine and design. Operators can customize the split screen views to suit what they want to focus on, and easy multi-touch navigation always provides them with real-time digging and grading information.

Integrated – Factory installed components

The intelligent Machine Control system is fully factory-integrated. Komatsu's unique stroke sensing cylinders for boom, arm, bucket, and tilt bucket provide real-time bucket tip positioning. Combined with built-in IMU sensor and GNSS antennae, the PC290LCi/NLCi-11 can achieve incredibly accurate performance consistently.

An evolutionary interface

Helpful information is now easier than ever to find and understand with the upgraded monitor interface. An optimal main screen for the ongoing work can be selected simply by pressing the F3 key.

Komatsu fuel-saving technology

Fuel consumption on the PC290LCi/NLCi-11 is lower by up to 5%. Engine management is enhanced. The variable speed matching of the engine and hydraulic pumps guarantee efficiency and precision during single and combined movements.

Adjustable idle shutdown

The Komatsu auto idle shutdown automatically turns off the engine after it idles for a set period of time. This feature can easily be programmed from 5 to 60 minutes, to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption and exhaust emissions, and to lower operating costs. An Eco-gauge and the Eco guidance tips on the cab monitor further encourage efficient operations.

Lower operating costs

Komatsu ICT contributes to the reduction of operating costs by assisting to comfortably and efficiently manage operations. It raises the level of customer satisfaction and the competitive edge of our products.

Widescreen monitor

Installed with a choice of 26 languages, the widescreen monitor with simple switches and multifunction keys gives fingertip access to a large range of functions and operating info.

Optimal jobsite safety

Safety features on the Komatsu PC290LCi/NLCi-11 comply with the latest industry standards and work in synergy to minimise risks to people in and around the machine. A neutral detection system for travel and work equipment levers increase jobsite safety, along with a seat belt caution indicator and an audible travel alarm. Highly durable anti-slip plates – with additional high friction covering – maintain long term traction performance.

Higher safety with iMC

Staking, surveying and final inspection were usually done manually. The PC290LCi/NLCi-11 reduces or eliminates the need for this ground staff around the machine. GNSS antennae integrated in the handrails remove the need to access the top of the counterweight.

Increased comfort

In the wide Komatsu SpaceCab™, a standard air-suspended high-back seat, heated for improved comfort and with fully adjustable armrests, is the centre of a comfortable and low-fatigue working environment. High visibility and ergonomic controls further assist to maximise the operator’s productivity.

Perfect operator convenience

In addition to the standard radio, the PC290LCi/NLCi-11 has an auxiliary input for connecting external devices and play music through the cab speakers. Two 12-volt power ports are also incorporated in the cab. Proportional controls are fitted as standard for safe and precise operation of attachments.

Komatsu SpaceCab

The ROPS cab has a tubular steel frame and provides high shock absorbency, impact resistance and durability. The seat belt is well designed to keep the operator in the safety zone of the cab in the event of a rollover. Optionally the cab can be fitted with a Falling Object Protective System (FOPS) with openable front guard.

KomVision

KomVision machine visibility gives the operator a constant clear view of the safety zone around the machine. This allows the operator to focus on the work at hand even in low light conditions. With KomVision, various camera view options are available whilst maintaining constant 'birdview' from above the machine.

SMART CONSTRUCTION Remote

Smart Construction Remote is an optional software solution that enables to remotely send and update design plans even when the machine is offline. It also supports your operators remotely with shared screen control. If an operator has an issue, spare yourself that trip to the machine and resolve the problem from home, your office, or another jobsite. Smart Construction Remote works on our very own Komatsu iMC machines and several After Market GNSS systems powered by Windows and Android.
