STX-GRADE | GRADERS
STX-GRADE for Graders is a powerful feature of the STX-MC software and hardware platform, specifically designed to boost the performance in grading and earthmoving operations.
By combining high-precision data from onboard sensors and a dual-antenna SMC-TWO GNSS receiver, STX-GRADE delivers exceptional accuracy and control during grading tasks. Sensors mounted directly on the blade continuously provide real-time position and pitch/roll information, ensuring precise execution where it matters most.
Engineered for simplicity, the system is easy to install, quick to calibrate, and requires a minimal number of components, thereby reducing downtime and maximizing efficiency.
Key Advantages:
- Precise blade control with dual GNSS and blade-mounted sensors
- Fast installation and calibration
- Scalable and compatible with both dozers and graders
- Developed and supported in the EU by Stonex
Compatible with all machines
Qualified Technicians for installation and training
Simplified work for everyone involved in earthmoving operations
Return on investment through increased efficiency
CONFIGURATIONS
- 1D
- 2D
- 3D Easy
- 3D PRO
The 1D system is the easiest to install and use. It allows you to manage the digging and vertical leveling phases quickly and precisely. It is a perfect starting point for the user approaching the world of machine control for the first time. Suitable for excavators and mini excavators. You can always check the bucket position from the screen in real time. Complex tasks such as underwater digging and blind digging are simplified because you can always keep an eye on the bucket on the screen. You can work with different height references such as an existing surface or a rotating laser.
The 2D system allows operations to be managed even on the horizontal plane, thanks to the use of a GNSS antenna installed on the machine (heading). It is the simplest solution if you have to work with double slopes. You can create slopes and excavations in any orientation. Just enter the depth of the excavation, the slopes and you can start working. The system uses GNSS antennas like a compass. The system can work with the Touch and Go function or with the laser to transport the working height of the construction site.
The 3D Easy system allows you to fully move the excavator around the jobsite transporting the working heights thanks to the GNSS RTK. You can create directly on the field different types of projects such as a plane surface, sloped surfaces like ramps or pitches, delimited areas for building’s foundations. You can use the bucket of the excavator to measure distances from references points or lines in the project.
3D Pro allows you to manage complex projects thanks to the ability to import geo-referenced projects. The perfect integration of the data collected with field GNSS receivers and the excavation system makes the process very simple and fast.

FAQ
It depends on several factors, but typically a quick demo installation takes 2–4 hours, while a full professional setup may require up to one working day (6–8 hours).
Yes. You can save up to 4 machine profiles in the STX-MC software and move the display and GNSS antennas between machines.
However, be aware: sensors must remain fixed to the machine and properly calibrated.
For installation:
- Standard tools (screwdrivers, wrenches, etc.)
- Possibly welding equipment to firmly fix sensor brackets if so required
- Measure meter, digital level, plumb bob
- GNSS rover with Cube-a software
- Total station (e.g., Stonex R20 is recommended)
Currently, it’s not possible, as the system relies on GNSS data for positioning. However, we are working on a laser sensor-based solution.
Accuracy depends on GNSS corrections (NTRIP or UHF). If you need sub-centimeter precision, a laser sensor-based version is under development.
We’re working on an AUTO mode version based on laser sensors.
Note: your machine must already be equipped with a PWM hydraulic valve, as we do not supply hydraulic components.
Yes. The system is modular and scalable, so it can be installed almost on any type or size of grader.
