The paver (100) has a towing machine (50), a movable screed (4) and a measuring device (60) with an inclination sensor for determining a layer thickness of a road pavement (6) that is newly laid by the screed. The measuring device determines the layer thickness at an intended location relative to a direction of travel behind a rear edge (10) of the screed. The measuring device is mounted on the paver to enable determination of the thickness of the layer independently of a geometric shape and/or a movement of the screed. The measuring device is detachably mounted to the towing machine.

Road finisher with coating measuring device

A method for preparing a screed assembly for starting a new paving operation is provided. The screed assembly is reset to a pre-stored screed position in response to a user command. A user defined paving depth associated with the new paving operation is received. The screed assembly is positioned to rest on a paving surface and to a float mode in response to a user command. An angle of attack of the screed assembly associated with the new paving operation is set in response to a user command. Further, a height of the screed assembly is adjusted based on the user defined paving depth. A confirmation message indicative of the screed assembly prepared for the new paving operation is provided to a user.

Paving machine with automatically adjustable screed assembly

The present disclosure relates to a road finishing machine, comprising a screed for laying a paving layer on a subsoil and at least one temperature sensor. According to the disclosure, the temperature sensor is fixed to the road finishing machine and directed to the subsoil such that it may detect a temperature at least of a region of the subsoil which is located in front of the screed, seen in the direction of travel. In accordance with the disclosure, the temperature data of the subsoil region may be georeferenced and sent to a following compacting vehicle for determining a rolling pattern, said vehicle determining or adapting its rolling pattern based on said data.

Subsoil temperature measurement by means of a road finishing machine

An external control stand for controlling at least one working component of an self-propelled construction machine comprises at least one display panel and a plurality of input elements, the external control stand comprising at least one mounting section to mount it to the construction machine. The external control stand is characterized in that it comprises a lower shell, an upper shell, and an impact protection, the impact protection being configured to be in contact with the lower shell and the upper shell.

External control stand for a construction machine

A method of laying a finishing layer with a road finisher F having a screed B, whereby the screed, equipped with a tamper device T and a smoothing plate, at least compacts and superficially smoothes the finishing layer, and the stroke and/or the frequency of the tamper device T are remotely varied for laying a finishing layer with a paving thickness and/or laying rate V which vary over the pave width and transversely to the working direction R within the pave width. A road finisher having a screed suitable for implementing the method set forth above wherein the road finisher or screed has an adjustment device for the remotely actuated local variation of at least the stroke of the tamper device within the pave width.

Method and road finisher for laying a compacted finishing layer

In a method for laying down a pavement consisting of paving material with a screed of a road paver, in which a compaction unit, particularly a tamper, pre-compacts the paving material at cyclical work cycles with selectable stroke and selectable frequency while the pavement having a selectable pavement thickness) is in the process of being laid down at a selectable paving speed, at least the stroke is automatically adjustable in response to paving parameters, such as at least the paving speed and/or the pavement thickness, along a characteristic curve or in a characteristic map. In the screed the compaction unit comprises an adjusting mechanism which is operable during the ongoing paving work for adjusting the stroke of the compaction unit.

Method for laying down a pavement, a screed and a road paver

The method involves automatically adjusting a stroke (H) of a condensing unit (13) in dependence of an installation parameter such as installation speed or coating thickness. Frequency (F) or angle of incidence (alpha) of a screed (3) is automatically adjusted in dependence of the installation parameter. An independent claim is also included for a screed for a road finisher.

Method for laying a road paving and paving screed

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for laying pavement of uniform thickness in the moving direction of work and performing uniform compaction in both the moving direction of work and a transverse direction, and to provide a screed and a paving vehicle. SOLUTION: A compacting unit 13, particularly a tamper 14, pre-compacts a paving material in an operation cycle with selectable stroke and selectable frequency while laying pavement selectable in pavement thickness at a selectable paving speed. At least the stroke is automatically adjusted along a characteristic curve or within a characteristic map in response to at least one paving parameter such as at least the paving speed and/or the pavement thickness. In the screed 3, the compacting unit 13 comprises an adjusting mechanism operable during the paving work for adjusting the stroke of the compacting unit 13. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
