APOLLO PMW Asphalt Paver Sensor 04-20-10010 Sonic Sensor Probe

Product Specification

Introduction

The APOLLO PMW Asphalt Paver Sensor (04-20-10010) is a high-performance sonic sensor probe designed to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of asphalt paving operations. This advanced sensor plays a critical role in ensuring smooth, level, and consistent pavement by providing real-time feedback to the paver’s control system. Engineered for durability and reliability, it is an essential component for modern road construction projects where precision and quality are paramount.

Key Features and Benefits

1. Advanced Sonic Sensing Technology

The APOLLO PMW Sonic Sensor Probe utilizes ultrasonic technology to measure the distance between the paver’s screed and the surface being paved. This non-contact method ensures highly accurate readings, allowing for automatic adjustments to maintain consistent mat thickness and smoothness. Unlike mechanical sensors, sonic sensors are less prone to wear and perform reliably in various paving conditions.

2. Precision Paving Control

By continuously monitoring the pavement’s elevation, this sensor helps maintain uniform asphalt thickness, reducing the risk of uneven surfaces, bumps, or depressions. This leads to higher-quality roadways with improved longevity and ride comfort. The sensor’s responsiveness ensures that the paver adjusts instantly to changes in terrain, grade, or slope.

3. Durable Construction for Harsh Environments

Asphalt paving involves extreme temperatures, vibrations, and exposure to dust and debris. The APOLLO PMW Sonic Sensor is built to withstand these conditions, featuring a rugged housing that protects internal components from damage. Its robust design ensures long-term performance even in demanding job sites.

4. Easy Integration and Compatibility

This sensor is designed to work seamlessly with APOLLO PMW asphalt pavers and other compatible systems. The model number 04-20-10010 ensures correct identification and installation. Its plug-and-play functionality minimizes setup time, allowing paving crews to focus on productivity rather than complex calibrations.

5. Reduced Manual Intervention

Automating the screed control process with this sonic sensor reduces the need for constant manual adjustments by the operator. This not only improves efficiency but also enhances safety by allowing workers to focus on other critical aspects of the paving process.

6. Reliable Performance in Various Conditions

Whether working on highways, airport runways, or urban roads, the APOLLO PMW Sonic Sensor Probe delivers consistent performance. It operates effectively in different lighting and weather conditions, ensuring uninterrupted paving operations.

Applications in Asphalt Paving

Asphalt pavers rely on precise sensor technology to achieve smooth, high-quality road surfaces. The APOLLO PMW Sonic Sensor is particularly useful in:
