1
Presentation - Date (change on Slide Master) Paver System Five Slope Sensor Theory of Operation
2
Presentation - Date (change on Slide Master) Slope Control Slope Control can be added to any Paver System Five System Five The Slope Sensor is attached to the paver’s transverse beam Transverse beam is an optional part of the paver
3
Presentation - Date (change on Slide Master) Transverse Beam Most paver manufacturers provide a rear-mounted transverse beam Some provide a front mounted transverse beam as “standard” Rear mounted beam is available if the customer requests it
4
Presentation - Date (change on Slide Master) Slope Sensor The electronic level sensor accurately measures slope The Slope sensor sends the slope measurement to the control box The control box drives the paver’s tow cylinder up or down until the slope sensor measures the desired slope
5
Presentation - Date (change on Slide Master) Slope Control Theory Slope Control is a “slave” to grade control Grade sensor raises or lowers one tow arm cylinder The slope sensor measures the change The control box drives the opposite tow arm cylinder to maintain a constant slope
6
Presentation - Date (change on Slide Master) ¼” ½” 1/8” ½” ¼” Slope Control Theory Rear Mounted Transverse Beam
7
Presentation - Date (change on Slide Master) Slope Control Theory Rear Mounted Transverse Beam The slope sensor does move as the screed moves Any forces acting on the screed are measured and the screed is adjusted
8
Presentation - Date (change on Slide Master) Slope Control Theory Rear Mounted Transverse Beam Super-elevations or desired changes in slope Sensor has direct feedback of screed position Accurate control of desired slope
9
Presentation - Date (change on Slide Master) ¼” ½” ¼” Slope Control Theory Front Mounted Transverse Beam
10
Presentation - Date (change on Slide Master) Slope Control Theory Front Mounted Transverse Beam The slope sensor does NOT move as the screed moves Any forces acting on the screed are NOT measured
11
Presentation - Date (change on Slide Master) Crown in screed Transverse beam spans tow arms – not directly mounted to the screed Manual Crown adjustments are not controlled Slope is controlled across ends of main screed (tow arm attachment points)
12
Presentation - Date (change on Slide Master) Screed Extensions Slope of screed Extensions are controlled manually Slope sensor on transverse beam does not measure extensions
13
Presentation - Date (change on Slide Master) Paver System Five Slope Sensor Theory of Operation
