The display of the screed operator’s console
The display of the screed operator’s console allows the screed operator to control and monitor both the left and the right side of the screed. Machine-related parameters such as tamper speed or conveyor speed can be adjusted conveniently via the display panel of the screed operator’s console. The clear menu structure, combined with easily understandable, self-explanatory language-neutral symbols, makes operating the display panel both simple and safe.
Crown adjustment at the push of a button
The crown can be conveniently adjusted at the press of a button on the screed operator‘s console. When pressing the “plus” or “minus” keys, the set crown value is shown on the display.
Ergonomic screed width control in two speeds
The screed width can be effortlessly adjusted by means of the SmartWheel. This can be done in two speeds: slow, for precise screed width control along an edge, or fast, for rapid extension or retraction of the screed.

The ErgoPlus 3 remote control unit
In addition to the screed operator’s consoles, the VÖGELE VF 500 and VR 600 Extending Screeds have a compact and very robust remote control unit on each side.
The remote control units can be stored securely in the brackets on the main screed or at the ends of the bolt-on extensions.
Because the brackets are magnetic, the remote control units are easy to grab at any time and they give the operator a wide range of motion, enabling him to adopt the optimum position in any paving situation.
