ABSTRACT:
A depth measuring apparatus for an excavator which includes an inclination sensor assembly mounted along the pivot axis between the stick arm boom and the bucket, a depth sensor mounted along the same pivot axis as well as a laser receiver for receiving a radiation establishing a reference level mounted coaxially with the pivot axis between the stick arm boom and the bucket such that after the reference level has been established, and the laser receiver is impinged by radiation each time it passes through the reference level, thereby zeroing out the measuring apparatus, the actual depth of a trench may be measured with respect to the reference level by considering the inclination of the bucket as well as the depth displayed by the depth sensor when the bucket is lowered into the trench.
