3D Machine Control System for Asphalt Paver-AF Nav | Automated Measurement Systems

This system offers a choice between the Classic version, designed for ease of use by anyone, and the + (Plus) Version, suitable for advanced control applications. It employs a zero-set method similar to grade sensors, ensuring intuitive operation even for first-time 3DMC users. The system also supports thickness control mode, enabling 3D control at sites where total stations cannot be used, such as for leveling pavement on bridge decks. The system is continuously improved and updated to enable ICT utilization across all job sites.

Zero-Set Control Method

Similar to grade sensor operation, causing minimal disruption to operations.
Support Single-Side and Dual-Side Control

Flexible operation in various situations, such as when aligning only one side with the existing pavement surface.
1-Pole/2-Pole Compatible *+ Version Only

High-precision 2-pole control is supported, and 1-pole control using a high-precision inclinometer is also available.
Direct Construction Support with Alignment Element Data

For newly constructed road sites, direct construction is possible using alignment data.
For sites without alignment data, construction and survey can be performed using TIN data.
Milling Machine Control Compatibility *+ Version Only

By preparing the MM Expansion Pack separately, the system can also be used for milling machine control.
Toward Further Evolution *+ Version Only *Release Date TBD

Sensors for bridge deck construction are currently under development as optional accessories.
Hold Function *Release Date TBD

When TS measurement is unavailable or paused, the screed hold function automatically activates, temporarily suspending control. Control resumesautomatically once TS measurement restarts or begins again.
Thickness Control Mode

Even at sites where TS measurement cannot be used, such as on bridges, GNSS-based control is possible by leveraging the difference between existing 3D data and design data.
Supports Remote Operation

Remote operation from another PC is possible using the wireless LAN included in the MM Expansion Pack.
Planned Implementation of Blending Mode *Release Date TBD

An offset function based on specified distances is currently being verified to enable smoother changes in pavement thickness during construction.An offset function based on specified distances is currently being verified to enable smoother changes in pavement thickness during construction.
