  • Page 14 4) You can also drive a clear and perfect radius with wire sensors if the sensors are positioned on the inner radius. With the Wirtgen-AutoPilot there are no such problems, because it no longer needs a guide wire. The system automatically solves how the sensors should be positioned.
  • Page 15 Public Review of paving with stringline Where is the best position for the sensors? - It was found through long testing that the sensors should be placed parallel to the mould’s outlet when driving the machine in tight radii. - The rear sensor should be placed approx. 20 cm behind the mould's outlet. - The front sensor should be placed approx.
  • Page 16 Public Review of paving with stringline Sensor positioning example using the straight section and a curve with a narrow radius. The object here is that the concrete mould and its mould outlet always remains parallel to the stringline. This guarantees precisely positioned and dimensionally accurate concrete paving.

  • Page 172 Public Wirtgen Field Rover/Measuring methods Spline Geometry Point measuring The spline always creates a bend-free object that connects the measured points. There is no option to create a clearly defined radius or other contours, but the software connects the points in the best possible way. This function is usually selected if no precise information about arcs is available and complex contours have to be created.
  • Page 173 Public Wirtgen Field Rover/Measuring methods Point measuring is used to measure fixed points within a job, as needed for the position of a base station or an object transformation after moving the base station. We recommended measuring such points after creating a project, as they are needed whenever the base station (intentionally or unintentionally) is moved.
  • Page 174 Public Wirtgen Field Rover/Measuring methods – Spline Spline Basically, there are two different methods for measuring profiles as well as the option of measuring fixed points (e.g. for profile shifting or base station(s) fixed points). The two displayed lines were created using the exact same measured points (1 - 3). The red line represents the spline and the green line connects the points as straight lines created using the "Geometry"...
