Wirtgen presents 5 Indian premières
The Wirtgen India launched its large milling machine W195, small milling machine W120 R, W50 H and W55 H, and Slip-form paver SP 62. In the VÖGELE range, it presented new technologies like the Road Scan and the NAVITRONIC® Plus 3 D levelling system.
With respect to VÖGELE RoadScan, Managing Director, Mr. Ramesh Palagiri said, “Making quality measurable is one of the major challenges for contractors and clients worldwide. In road construction, it is particularly important to verify that a constant temperature of the freshly paved asphalt has been maintained, as this is a key criterion for ensuring the quality and durability of roads. As a result, the significance of area-wide temperature monitoring is currently on the rise in an increasing number of markets. With the non-contacting RoadScan temperature measurement system, VÖGELE provides an innovative and economical solution for the road construction sector.”
NAVITRONIC® Plus is a non-contacting 3D control system for road pavers that fully integrates into VÖGELE NIVELTRONIC® Plus. It combines control of grade and slope on one hand, and control of the screed’s position and paver’s direction of motion on the other, within a single system. It comes with an ‘open interface’ to connect the positioning system. With this interface, different makes from renowned manufacturers can be selected for combination with NAVITRONIC® Plus, whether the system is an optical one with a laser-based total station and prism, or a satellite-based one with GPS receiver and laser receiver.
