Producing highly precise concrete profiles
Wirtgen levelling systems enable the slipform pavers to work with maximum precision in a large variety of different requirements and environmental conditions, ensuring that monolithic profiles or concrete slabs are paved in their specified position with pin-point accuracy.
The classical Wirtgen automatic levelling system
The purpose of levelling systems is to control the paving height of a concrete profile as determined by a reference surface automatically and as precisely as possible. This goal is fully and superbly met by the modular systems of the original automatic levelling system from Wirtgen.
The system offers maximum flexibility, allowing different sensors to be used which are selected in accordance with conditions prevailing on the job site.
The right system for any application
The automatic levelling system permits different types of sensors to be used. Adapters or special plugs are not required.
Transducing sensor
Transducing sensors scan a previously tensioned stringline.
Slope sensor
The slope sensor ensures that the slipform paver adheres to the specified cross slope with maximum precision.
Slab tracer
The slab tracer glides on a reference surface, such as the adjacent traffic lane.
Wireless levelling control
A total station locates a prism on the slipform paver to determine the current position of the paving mould, and with it the concrete profile. These data are reconciled with a previously created digital terrain model of the profile or surface to be produced. Deviations are immediately corrected by the automatic levelling system.
