P-32 Screed Control for Asphalt Pavers
Topcon continues its long tradition
of innovation with the P-32/P-32+ for asphalt pavers. For decades, the Topcon
System Five solution for paving has been the industry’s premier non-contacting
screed control system. Featuring durable and time-tested components, such as
Sonic Trackers, cross slope sensors, control boxes and the Trackerjack laser
receiver, Topcon has introduced the successor of System Five with the
P-32/P-32+ asphalt paver system.
Features and Benefits
- Fully compatible with System Five
- Extreme environmental specifications
- Large full-color display
- Dual control with one control box
- Includes casted carrying case
Fully Compatible with System Five
The
GC-35 control box and P-32 paving system was designed to be fully compatible
with the existing System Five system. Compatibility and versatility at
your fingertips. The proven Sonic Tracker and Cross Slope sensor complete
the P-32 system and will give you high quality results in any 2D paving
application. Clean joints, solid string line performance and smooth roads
will be the result.
Extreme Environmental Specifications
The components are rated IP-67 to work in all harsh environments.
The USB connector to the control box makes for quick and easy firmware
upgrades and will allow the user to stay up to date as future development
occurs.
Large - Full Color Display
The
fully configurable, sunlight-readable display gives the operator the chance to
work while using an interface as straightforward as System Five, but with added
advantages.
Dual Operation with One Control Box
A
highly sought after feature is added and now available with the P-32 paving
system, being able to operate both sides of the machine with one control box.
No longer will 2D paving require separate control boxes for each side if
the machine!
Casted Carrying Case
Durability
was the focus all the way to the cast carrying case included with the
GC-35 control box. A ruggedly designed case to help protect the
display during transport, storage and day to day removal. Keeps the
moisture out and protects the display from all of the elements.
GC-35 Paver System Control Box
- Waterproof and IP67 rated
- Backward compatible with System Five pavers
- Superior design with side mount connectors
- Faster processor and easy performance
- Menu access
- Able to operate both sides from one control box
This 2D asphalt paver system features
control boxes that are rugged and waterproof with an IP67 environmental rating.
No need to work about getting caught in a rainstorm, overspray from a water
truck or putting wet control boxes into a carrying case.
The GC-35 control boxes have a superior
design, a faster processor and better on-screen options. Designed with the
cables coming out sideways from the control boxes (instead of coming out of the
bottom) will help keep cables away from moving parts on the paver. The
increased processor speed and improved on-screen options makes the system
faster to run and easier to use. It can be sold on new pavers or as an
upgrade to the System Five 9256 control boxes. The GC-35 also comes with a new
mounting bracket, cables and heavy duty double shelled carrying case.
With a 3.5-inch color graphics LCD the
display is easy to see night or day. You can view elevation and slope values
for both sides of the screed from either side. Calibrating the system is much
easier with on-screen menu choices and is faster than using the previous
generation of boxes.
GC-35
Firmware 2.0:
The GC-35 Firmware that comes with the P-32 / P-32+ system
gives you several benefits. By checking “Display Slope” in the Display Option
of the performance menu, the Cross Slope sensor value will be displayed even
when the control box is set in Elevation Control on both sides. So, no more
guessing, just KNOW that the cross slope is correct, all the time. The
Block Slope Calibration menu option protects you from accidently re-calibrating
the slope sensor. Another step in improving the quality of the job. The
setting for selecting the slope resolution has moved to the Performance menu
for easier access, so that Cross slope transition will be smoother as you
change the Cross Slope Setpoint on the fly.
Sonic Tracker II®
- High-resolution sonics for
application versatility
- Use references such as: elevated
stringline, surface string, poured curbs, or existing surface
- Rugged cast housing with completely
sealed internal electronics
- Easy to attach and position over
reference
- Bright grade indication LED’s display
continuous grade information
- Snap on temperature bail
- Field replaceable sonic transducers
The Sonic
Tracker II ™ measures and controls the elevations of the cylinder. A
transducer, located in the bottom of the Sonic Tracker II, generates sound
pulses like a speaker and listens for returned echoes like a microphone. The
Tracker measures the distance, controlling grade from a physical grade
reference, such as a curb, stringline, or existing road surface. A temperature
bail compensates for rapid air temperature changes. In milling applications,
always use a temperature bail.
The
Sonic Tracker II attaches to the system through one quick- connect cable and
attaches to the machine with a single bolt. At the end of the day, remove the
Sonic Tracker II for proper storage in the carrying case.
Slope Sensor
- Exclusive anti-slosh ceramic technology
- Completely sealed internal electronics
- Rugged cast housing
Our re-designed slope sensor gives you the accuracy you are used to, but now under
even more extreme circumstances. With the amazing stability under vibration
conditions and solid operation in an extended temperature range, this sensor
will add quality to the job.
The additional CAN bus interface gives the GC-35
control box the cross-slope value at all times.
Trackerjack Laser Receiver
- 360° gap-less receiving
- Motorized trackerjack gets the receiver
on-grade quickly and “locks-on” to keep it there
- Lightweight receiver/electric mast goes on and off in
seconds, without tools
- World's largest elevation adjustment capability, 1.3
m (5 feet)
- Bright grade indication LEDs display continuous grade
information
- Compatible with all Topcon lasers and most other
lasers
The Laser Tracker works by receiving a
signal from a rotating laser and sends that signal to the Control Box. Use the
same coil cord from the Sonic Tracker II to power up the Laser Tracker.
The Trackerjack attaches to the laser
receiver and then mounts onto a vibration pole. Use the coil cord from the
Sonic Tracker II to power up the Laser Tracker/Trackerjack System.
The Laser Trackerjack should be removed
at the end of each day and stored in its carrying case. A vibration pole
storage bracket can be attached to the back of the grader for use when the
Trackerjack system is not needed.
The
P-32+ Creed Control Asphalt Paver has some of the same features, but it doesn’t
have the Sonic
Tracker II ™ or Trackerjack Laser Receiver.
It does feature the GC-35 display, the Slope Sensor and the ST-3 Sonic
Tracker.
ST-3 Sonic Tracker:
- Multiple Transducers
- Routine Transducer Replacement Not Required
- Environmental Specs IP67
- Position indication on stringline
- Wide range linear detection on stringline
- Works better in tight areas
Utilizing multiple transducers, the ST-3 will show the
horizontal offset on a stringline, while updating the control box with accurate
elevation information over the whole detection range.
Its
elliptical detection zone combined with the twice as fast pulsing transducers
will provide a smoother and more predictable reaction to the detected surface.
Smooth and fast goes hand-in-hand.
With
the narrow detection zone, it can detect the target you aim for in very tight
situations, without the need to lower the sensor.
2D Paving Options
Sonic Averaging System (SAS)
Topcon’s Sonic Averaging System has been
the paving industry’s first choice as a non-contacting replacement to the
conventional mechanical ski. The Sonic Averaging System is comprised of a 24
ft. aluminum beam holds four Sonic Trackers which continuously measure the
elevation over the surface, automatically averaging and adjusting tow point
cylinder. The SAS is convenient, maneuverable and produces a great finished
surface.
Smoothtrac®
Smoothtrac utilizes four Sonic Tracker
sensors working in unison to provide superior averaging results while
eliminating the cleaning and repair inherent in traditional skis. Smoothtrac
adds additional electronic averaging to further smooth the ride. With
Smoothtrac, you can back-up, turn around, even pave around curves without
removing the ski. When not in use it folds up and out of the way.
Upgradeable to 3D with mmGPS
The next generation of asphalt paver
control – and Smoothtrac® – are fully upgradeable. mmGPS - from the
innovators in asphalt paver automation!
Imagine controlling your paver right from
digital site plans. As you pave, you’re producing exact thickness at exact
slope automatically. No following stringlines, curbs, or other surface
references.
At the heart of Millimeter GPS™ is
Topcon’s Lazer Zone™ technology. This revolutionary technology brings together
the simplicity of a rotating laser, the accuracy of a robotic total station,
and the flexibility and multiple user capabilities of GPS into one complete
jobsite solution!
Topcon combines this revolutionary new transmitter with the
PZS-MC receiver and Topcon’s GX-60 Control Box and slope sensor to create a
system that’s changing the face of paver automation.
Knowing where the paver is located within
the digital site plan, and knowing the grade required at that exact position,
the control box sends correction signals to the screed to precisely maintain
mat thickness and slope for that position on the site. And mmGPS is fast,
continuously updating position and grade information so you work as fast as you
want.
