The MikroPaver™ system has been developed in co-operation with paving specialists to form an integral part of any paver or mill. The system can be configured to suit the individual needs and can be controlled manually or automatically. The MikroPaver™ system is also prepared for 3D Robotic Total Station guidance.
Benefits:
- Optimises your work accurately and efficiently
- Improves the operating accuracy of your construction equipment meaning less re-work therefore reducing the wear and tear on your machine and reducing fuel costs for your machine
- Increases productivity and reduces the time spent on each job
- One man and his machine can carry out the majority of earth moving jobs without an assistant, day or night
- Can be controlled manually or automatically
The MikroPaver™ system has been developed to automate the control of cross-slope and height of your asphalt paver during daily work.
The installation can vary depending on your needs; you can choose to have the basic system using a cross-slope sensor and sonic tracker or expand it to include a laser sensor mounted on either an electric mast or fixed mast.
The system comprises:
- 2 CB1 Control Boxes
- CS1 Cross-Slope Sensor
- SH2 Sonic Tracker
and:
- MD2 Machine Detector
- EM1 Electric Mast
CB1 Control Box
The CB1 control box has been developed with the operator in mind, making, the operation and control simple and, the display easy to read. Its compact design makes it easy to mount in a place where it is both visible to, and within easy reach of, the operator while the machine is working. The main functions have been designed to make both automatic control, and monitoring of the cross-slope and height, easy.
The control box is used to set the desired cross-slope before Auto Mode is selected. The cross-slope can be displayed in either percent or per thousand, as required.
In survey mode, the current cross-slope is displayed on the control box, without the slope being controlled automatically.
CS1 Cross-Slope Sensor
The cross-slope sensor is a very precise electronic sensor, protected by a sturdy galvanised iron housing with markings for direction. The sensor is mounted on the boom between the two screed arms, and is permanently connected to the two control boxes.
Sonic Tracker
The sonic tracker is mounted on one end of the screed as part of an extendable arm. The reference line can be a previous pass, wire, curb or any other solid surface. The sonic tracker works on the principle of electrostatics, which has proven to be the most successful method of tracking, its yields measurements of unsurpassed accuracy with an internal resolution of 1mm (1/25"). And to compensate for deviation due to changes in air temperature, you have got the choice of two options, either a built-in thermometer or a temperature bail.
Laser Sensor
The laser sensor is mounted on a mast that enables the sensor to receive the laser beam. This system has been developed to work with either one or two laser sensors. The sensor sends information on the position of the detected laser beam to the control box, which then corrects the hydraulics. The entire process is done in 1/1000sec.
3D MikroGrader™ System with GPS or Total Station
The MikroPaver™ is developed to work with a 3D Machine Control Total Station or GPS system. When using a 3D Machine Control system, you upload a 3D plan of the construction site on to your computer. On this 3D plan you can set any curving contours required for your paving work. The digital information about your construction site is then transmitted to the MikroPaver™.
Benefits:
- Increased productivity and accuracy
- Work to a very small margin, reducing material wastage
- Fewer mistakes, due to using the design data direct from the construction site plan, therefore reducing time and costs for correction
