Big MultiPlex Ski

Race tracks, main roads, motorways: VÖGELE's Big MultiPlex Ski comes into play whenever absolute evenness in the longitudinal direction is essential and no absolute grade reference is available. Its 5-13 m beam can be fitted with three multi-cell sonic sensors as standard – or with up to five if required. This enables the Big MultiPlex Ski to scan a reference at several points located a distance from one another. VÖGELE’s Niveltronic Plus System for Automated Grade and Slope Control calculates a mean from the measurements taken across the entire measuring range, making up for any unevenness over extended distances. In this way, the system operates with much greater precision than an individual single-cell or multi-cell sensor, for instance.

The Big MultiPlex Ski works with three multi-cell sonic sensors as standard; these transmit their measuring results straight to the Niveltronic Plus System for Automated Grade and Slope Control. The system then calculates a virtual reference level from these results. The sonic sensors are attached to a beam on the side of the paver. Depending on the application, up to five sensors can be connected. This offers the advantage that the measured results cover a total length of up to 13 m, allowing extended irregularities such as undulations in the ground to be detected and compensated.
