3D paving control system from Trimble
The Trimble PCS900 Paving Control System, available in the UK from Korec, is an automatic 3D screed control system that is designed to improve paving productivity and road surface quality.
With the PCS900, contractors can produce final paved surfaces with smoothed seams and significantly fewer waves, the manufacturer claims. Complex designs can be paved accurately without a reference surface or stringline. This saves time and effort setting and adjusting stringlines and also eliminates the need for haul trucks to drive around the stringlines, Trimble says. The operator just loads design data into the system and the machine automatically keeps the screed on design.
On resurfacing jobs, road-waves can be reduced or eliminated by paving in 3D to a smooth design.
Trimble PCS900 is a 3D extension to the 2D Trimble PCS400 Paving Control System. The paving contractor can switch from grade and slope (2D) mode to 3D mode, as required. The PCS400 and PCS900 combination gives the choice between sonic sensors, slope sensor, sonic averaging beam, 3D slope and 3D elevation control on each side of the screed.
The Trimble PCS900 Paving Control System can be installed on top of the MOBA-Matic CAN paving control system.
It can be mounted on a variety of new or used asphalt paving machines, regardless of manufacturer. All components have an IP67 rating to protect against dust and water.
