WIRTGEN STRINGLESS PAVING CONTROL SYSTEM

Wirtgen’s AutoPilot 2.0 is a control system for stringless paving that provides an alternative to the conventional method of mechanically scanning a stringline. The system, which precisely con trols both the machine’s height and steering, is available for all offset pavers and placer/spreaders.

A GNSS signal and, depending on the configuration, various local sensors, such as an ultrasonic sensor on the machine, serve as a reference. The need for a stringline is eliminated and the time and effort otherwise required for setting one up and removing it is no longer required. The system enables fast and precise paving of tight radii and complex geometries.

The Wirtgen AutoPilot 2.0 system provides machine control and remote control from a single source.

lift the trimmer over obstacles such as catch basins as needed. Operators have unobstructed views to the concrete as it exits the mold and can make easy adjustments, which cuts down on the required amount of manual hand finishing and tie-in work. A Quick Connect mold mount enables contractors to change molds within a matter of minutes, and ConnectSmart telematics provides diagnostic information and fleet management tools that help contractors wrap up their jobs more profitably and ahead of schedule.
