GPS for Paving: Millimeter Precision
The Millimeter GPS technology is now available to the paving industry, with the first three-dimensional GPS+ control system for pavers, profilers and trimmers. The system's laser transmitter sweeps a 2,000-ft-dia area with a 33-ft-high wall of laser light. A compact sensor mounted on a mast reads the laser signal, resulting in millimeter-precise vertical data. When combined with any Topcon RTK GPS rover unit, the device can take similarly precise vertical readings anywhere on the project.

The station's interface allows a single user to perform the necessary layout tasks at a jobsite and improve productivity. The SPS710 model is intended for more robust applications, while the SPS610 is geared toward smaller projects. Trimble Construction Positioning Solutions; 800/874-6253; www.trimble.com  |
