GCS900 FOR MILLING MACHINES

Paving Solutions Brochure

Today’s road projects require contractors to work faster, with better accuracy and with tighter control on costs. With GCS900 on your mill, you easily handle transitions, super-elevated curves, variable drainage slopes and longitudinal waves. And you can do it all without rework.

Trimble® paving solutions are designed for today’s competitive environment. Whether you are building a new road or resurfacing an old one, Trimble solutions will help you build a better surface, reduce material use, and significantly improve your productivity. The more you use Trimble paving solutions, the more productive and profitable your paving operation will be.

GCS900 For Milling Machines

Milling to a fixed depth often satisfies the specification for a resurfacing project, but it leaves any improvements of road smoothness to the paver. With Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System on your milling machine you can mill at variable depth and slope, eliminating undulations and preparing a smoother sub-surface for new asphalt. When used in conjunction with a paver equipped with PCS400 or PCS900, the end result is a significantly smoother road surface using less material and finished in less time.

GCS900 Components

CB460 Control Box – The Trimble CB460 Control Box indicates the position of the drum versus the 3D design or pre-defined vertical offset. Click here to contact us for more information.

 

 

Prism – Patented Trimble active tracking technology guarantees total station lock to the on-machine target and ensures millimeter control of the milling machine drum. Click here to contact us for more information.

Trimble SPS930 Universal Total Station – The industry-leading Trimble SPS930 Universal Total Station locks onto and tracks the MT900 active target mounted on the milling machine. Trimble active tracking technology guarantees lock to the target, ignoring passing vehicles, strobes, and other reflective objects. By measuring the angle and distance to the target, the SPS930 can very accurately drive the mill drum to cut to the digital 3D design within 0.01-0.02 feet. (3-6 millimeters).
