GPS POSITIONING ADDED TO PAVING
Topcon Positioning Systems' industry-leading Millimeter GPS precise positioning technology has been expanded into the paving industry, creating the world's first 3D-GPS+ control system for pavers, profil-ers and trimmers. Topcon's technology, known as Lazer Zone, is used to generate a vertical accuracy to within a few mil-limetres as compared to the centimetre vertical accuracy of conventional RTK GPS.
Utilized on pavers, the Millimeter GPS technology incorporates a unique zone-beam laser transmitter, the PZL 1, that sweeps a 2,000-foot diameter (600m) area with a 33-foot (10m) high wall of laser light. A compact sensor, the PZS MC, is mounted on a mast which is attached to the toe arm of the paver.
