1 A WIRTGEN GROUP COMPANY 3D Machine Control Systems Innovative solutions from VÖGELE for working with 3D systems

2 3D Machine control systems: More than just sensors 3D in action VÖGELE 3D control systems grade and slope control and navigation with 3D sensors The use of 3D machine control systems in earthworks is already common practice, but now road pavers are also increasingly being equipped with this technology. For their SUPER pavers, VÖGELE offer the right solution to tackle every application. This starts with the full package of Navitronic Plus, the unique non-contacting 3D control system which not only provides for grade and slope control, but also controls the screed's position and the paver's direction of motion fully automatically and with top precision. Another tried-and-tested solution is Navitronic Basic. It offers all the same performance features as Navitronic Plus with just one exception: the paver's direction of motion is manually controlled by the paver operator. Navitronic Basic is available for wheeled and tracked pavers. And VÖGELE now also have a solution for the simplest cases, when a 3D sensor is only used for grade control: the new Niveltronic Plus 3D. All VÖGELE 3D control systems have one common trait: they all feature an open port so that any common 3D positioning system used with other machines from a contractor s machine pool, can be used for the road paver, too. The additional investment in 3D control for asphalt paving is thus significantly lower. 2 VÖGELE SUPER Series 2 special More quality class in road construction 3

Its capabilities go far beyond the machine paves along this specified line, or he configuration level in 3D control for road of motion into the third dimension. Its 3D data interface such as Leica, TopCon and Trimble are compatible. conventional grade and slope control Navitronic sets a fixed pave width, which is precisely adhered pavers. It offers the same performance features Navitronic Plus controls the steering of the paver allows the use, not only of conventional sensors Basic also controls the screed's position fully to over the full length of the section to be paved. as Navitronic Basic, meaning the grade and directly via the machine control system. This means such as sonic and mechanical sensors, but also of With Niveltronic Plus 3D, road pavers can now use automatically. Thanks to the precision control of the extending slope and the screed's position are controlled that the road paver, whose position is currently 3D sensors for grade control. To make this possible, 3D sensors for grade and slope control. units, even deviations caused by the steering of fully automatically. However, it additionally picked up by the laser-based total station or GPS, Niveltronic Plus 3D must be connected with an Precise positioning of the screed by means the paver can easily be compensated for by the controls the steering of the VÖGELE tracked is guided fully automatically along the route s external 3D control system. of screed displacement sensors screed s width control system. paver.

For this purpose, screed displacement sensors route and the paver s position are shown on the JOSEPH VÖGELE AG. on the extending units determine the current width display of the 3D machine control system and the of the screed. The user then has two options: he machine can thus be steered very precisely without either defines the extreme left-hand or right-hand an artificial reference. The 3D control systems are fully integrated in the screed consoles. Just like the paver operator, the screed operator, too, can focus his attention on the paving process and its results. Grade and slope as well as the pave width are controlled fully automatically by the 3D system. 8 More quality in road construction 9 special class 10 11

6 Economic advantages of the 3D control systems The open port featured on all VÖGELE's 3D control systems delivers key economic advantages. 3D positioning systems that are already in use with a contractor's other machines can be used for the road pavers, too, greatly reducing the additional investment in 3D control for asphalt paving. And there is another cost-saving factor: existing survey data for instance those collected for earthworks can also be used for road surfacing, reducing the overall Dispensing with the time-consuming survey work also allows large areas, in particular, to be surfaced a great deal faster with the VÖGELE 3D control systems. This, in turn, also reduces the costs for the contractor.

7 Applications With Niveltronic Plus 3D, Navitronic Basic and Navitronic Plus, material can be paved precisely without the need for tensioned wires. The VÖGELE systems are hence particularly suitable for the construction of roads where no surfaces or kerbs are available as a reference. They are recommended for use in large-scale projects such as industrial areas, motorways, federal roads and airport runways or projects with a tight schedule. Other applications include winding as well as hilly roads with constantly varying slopes and the building of complex surface profiles. Particularly when paving banked curves or varying slopes, the automated millimetre-precision control of the screed ensures that the requirements on accuracy and evenness are precisely met. In other words, the greater precision of the 3D technology delivers an immense improvement in Construction of a new ballast bed, pave width 4.6m: Precise laying of 20cm-thick ballast bed by a paver operating at a speed of 1,200m/day using Niveltronic Plus 3D. This method is faster and more precise than the use of a grader. Applications After all, non-contacting paving saves contractors pavement quality and working efficiency on many the trouble of survey work and tensioned wires. construction projects!
