System for Automated Grade and Slope Control

Easy handling, precision and reliability: The Auto Grade Plus and Grade Assist grade control systems from VÖGELE optimally support paving teams in handling leveling tasks.

Auto Grade Plus: Reliable automated Grade and Slope Control

The automated grade and slope control system of the Dash 5 generation, Auto Grade Plus, supports operators in profile-accurate paving on any roadbase.

By scanning a predefined reference height using various sensor systems, paving thickness can be controlled with precision. Thanks to Auto Grade Plus, irregularities during paving are evened out, improving both surface evenness and profile accuracy of the roadway.

Grade Assist: The Assistance System for Profile Paving

Grade Assist automates the paving of crown and cross slope profiles. Within the assistance system, the desired profile and the paving distance can be defined. Grade Assist then ensures gradual adjustment until the predefined value is reached.

Using Grade Assist requires the Auto Grade Plus option.
