  1. Paver System Five Slope Sensor Theory of Operation

  2. Slope Control • Slope Control can be added to any Paver System Five System Five • The Slope Sensor is attached to the paver’s transverse beam • Transverse beam is an optional part of the paver

  3. Transverse Beam • Most paver manufacturers provide a rear-mounted transverse beam • Some provide a front mounted transverse beam as “standard” • Rear mounted beam is available if the customer requests it

  4. Slope Sensor • The electronic level sensor accurately measures slope • The Slope sensor sends the slope measurement to the control box • The control box drives the paver’s tow cylinder up or down until the slope sensor measures the desired slope

  5. Slope Control Theory • Slope Control is a “slave” to grade control • Grade sensor raises or lowers one tow arm cylinder • The slope sensor measures the change • The control box drives the opposite tow arm cylinder to maintain a constant slope

  6. Slope Control Theory Rear Mounted Transverse Beam ½” ¼” 1/8” ½” ¼” 1/8”

  7. Slope Control Theory • Rear Mounted Transverse Beam • The slope sensor does move as the screed moves • Any forces acting on the screed are measured and the screed is adjusted

  8. Slope Control Theory • Rear Mounted Transverse Beam • Super-elevations or desired changes in slope • Sensor has direct feedback of screed position • Accurate control of desired slope

  9. Slope Control Theory Front Mounted Transverse Beam ½” ¼” ½” ¼”

  10. Slope Control Theory • Front Mounted Transverse Beam • The slope sensor does NOT move as the screed moves • Any forces acting on the screed are NOT measured

  11. Crown in screed • Transverse beam spans tow arms – not directly mounted to the screed • Manual Crown adjustments are not controlled • Slope is controlled across ends of main screed (tow arm attachment points)

  12. Screed Extensions • Slope of screed Extensions are controlled manually • Slope sensor on transverse beam does not measure extensions
