Variable mechanical grade sensor

Variable mechanical grade sensor

The variable mechanical grade sensor supplied by VÖGELE can be combined in many ways. It can be equipped with skis of 30 cm, 1 m or 2 m for referencing from ground.

Use of the 1 m or 2 m ski is recommended to compensate relatively minor irregularities in the reference. In the event of major irregularities, combination with an averaging beam is useful.

Highly accurate paving with tensioned wire

For highly accurate paving along a tensioned wire, the variable mechanical grade sensor can also be fitted with a bow. Referencing a tensioned wire is a method used primarily where no suitable reference is available, or in cases where the client expressly requests the tensioned wire. Extremely precise paving results can be achieved using a combination of tensioned wire and the variable mechanical grade sensor, as the sensor features a high degree of measuring accuracy with tolerances of just ± 0.5 mm.
