Auto Grade Plus

Auto Grade Plus: The innovative system for automated grade and slope control

Auto Grade Plus has been developed by JOSEPH VÖGELE AG based on extensive experience in levelling technology. Easy operation, precision and reliability are its hallmarks for perfect mastery of all grade and slope control jobs. With the introduction of assistance and automation solutions at WIRTGEN GROUP, Niveltronic Plus becomes the Auto Grade Plus solution for the VÖGELE Dash 5 machine generation.

VÖGELE offers a particularly large and practical selection of sensors to allow versatile use of the Auto Grade Plus system for automated grade and slope control. Whether car parks, roundabouts or motorways need to be built or rehabilitated, VÖGELE offers the right sensor for every job-site situation.

The LED sighting crosses also fitted to the sensor provide continuous, clearly visible feedback to the screed operator indicating whether the actual values match the settings made.

This fully integrated system is ideally adapted to the Machine technology of the VÖGELE paver harmonized with ErgoPlus operating concept. All wiring and connections, for instance, are integrated in the tractor unit and screed, effectively eliminating any risk of damage to these components.

Sensors can be changed quickly and easily, for Auto Grade Plus automatically detects which sensor is connected, thus simplifying the configuration process for the user.

The advantages at a glance

Unique: Automated Grade and Slope Control System supplied directly by the paver manufacturer. Machine technology and the grade and slope control system are thus perfectly matched to ensure an equally perfect paving result.
Wiring and connections are integrated into tractor unit and screed
Wide range of sensors enables flexible use of Auto Grade Plus in all areas of application
Automatic recognition of sensors connected for quick and easy setup.
Particularly simple and user-friendly operation and monitoring of all Auto Grade Plus functions
Logical, self-explanatory and language-neutral symbols support quick learning of all functions.
Auto Grade Plus, fully integrated into the paver’s control system, does not require any extra training for handling.

Good to know: sensors available

Slope sensor

The slope sensor allows the transverse profile to be determined exactly and then paved accurately. The measuring range is +/- 10%.

Variable mechanical grade sensor

The variable mechanical grade sensor can be equipped with skis in 30 cm, 1 m and 2 m lengths for referencing from the ground.

Single-cell sonic sensor

The single-cell sonic sensor emits a sound cone This allows it to copy references 1:1 without calculating an average. It can be used for referencing from the ground (Ground mode) or from a tensioned wire (Stringline mode).

Multi-cell sonic sensor

The multi-cell sonic sensor, with its four sensors, is highly versatile. By calculating an average, it can compensate for brief irregularities in a reference.

Laser receiver

When using a laser receiver for grade and slope control, grade is determined via the reception of laser beams. This makes it especially suitable for paving large areas.

Big MultiPlex Ski

The Big MultiPlex Ski compensates for extended bumps. Three multi-cell sonic sensors can be attached to its variable 5 to 13 m-long beam.
