Slope sensor
Slope sensor
No matter if the focus is on high horizontal surface accuracy or if paving with an elevation on one side is required; the slope sensor allows the transverse profile to be determined exactly during paving and then paved accurately.
The transverse slope of the screed is measured by a fluid-filled sensor similar to a spirit level. Screed position serves as a reference. In order to guarantee precision measured results under all job site conditions, the levelling beam is shock-mounted. Measuring accuracy is ± 0.05 %.
Slope sensor combined with grade sensor
There is no problem using the slope sensor in combination with any grade sensor up to a maximum pave width of 6.5 m. The grade measured on one side of the screed combined with transverse slope delivers consistent paving results, true to line and level, across full pave width.
Two sensors for measuring grade and slope can be connected simultaneously to the VÖGELE System for Automated Grade and Slope Control. During paving, users can combine the slope sensor with any connected grade sensor on the left or right without any need for conversion or time-consuming plugging and unplugging. This opens up a variety of options for scanning available references.
