3D或什么都没有

Case study

Author:Daniel Milam,电力杆

3D or stringless control systems for concrete slipforming equipment are becoming more popular by the season. Labor shortages, competitive bidding, and scheduling flexibility are some of the most common reasons companies choose to go stringless.

Elliot Jones, president at W. Gardner, LLC and managing partner of 3D Concrete Solutions, has a different perspective,“I looked at it as training wheels. It kind of keeps us in the rails. I feel a lot better with having this control.”

杰克逊维尔,佛罗里达州建筑市场有机会,琼斯通过建立一家混凝土公司3D混凝土解决方案利用了优势。他的土方工程公司W. Gardner,LLC与当地混凝土承包商无用的时间遇到​​了困难,这揭示了市场上的差距。

Diverging from his earthmoving business was a big move for Jones since he had no prior hand forming or slipforming experience. From the beginning, Jones wanted the concrete company to be different by being the first in the region running a stringless slipform machine.


新的响应能力,简单性和精度



Jones worked with machine control on earthmoving equipment for the past ten years and had seen operators successfully trained on dozers or motor graders using 3D systems. He was confident that a slipform operator could be trained similarly and felt good about plunging into stringless slipforming, describing it as a “no-brainer”.

W. Gardner,LLC项目管理副总裁Jones和Rusty Grimes访问了Power Curbers制造工厂,以了解有关Slipform机器的更多信息。琼斯透露,“访问权力Curbers索尔兹伯里密封the deal”. Grimes agreed,“I would highly recommend that anybody interested in even looking to purchase a slipform machine take a tour of Power Curbers’ plant because that was impressive.”

补充他们的新5700-D concrete slipform machine,3D混凝土解决方案的团队选择了Leica图标machine control systemfor 3D concrete paving because of the precision it delivers on W. Gardner, LLC’s owned earthmoving equipment.


避免使用3D机器控制解决方案的弦线,用于路缘和排水沟工作



琼斯从3D控件开始时坚持认为避免弦线限制的主要原因之一。他说,“you are saving at least a day on a small job, a half-day to set up and a half-day to break down or anywhere from 2 days or more for a larger job. You only have so many linear feet of pins, and you have to leapfrog them. That is your bottleneck.”

但是,琼斯指出,有了无绳控件,“your bottleneck isn’t how many pins, it becomes, control is here, total stations are here, we can keep leapfrogging those bad boys until the concrete plant shuts us down. There are no limits now.”

grimes被执行,“这可以节省调查,并推出弦线和销钉。我们可以在那里滚动,在一两个小时内将所有内容定位,然后我们正在运行。我们完成了多达4,000英尺或更多的线性英尺,这仅仅是因为我们用完了泥土。”莱卡3D机器控制系统不仅是用于铺路的时间和节省时间,而且它们的质量非常出色。他们已经验证了垂直公差至0.02。


易于使用且易于采用3D机控制解决方案



琼斯报告了这一点“it’s better than stringline. The stringline gets manipulated by people on the job site. There is room for human error. If you follow the model, it is perfectly to the engineer’s plan.”

在与机器安顿下来后,琼斯表示,带有Leica GeoSystem的机器控制解决方案的5700-D混凝土滑动机已有“很好,我们喜欢它。野外的家伙喜欢它。它效果很好。”Grimes观察到他们的滑动船员“adapted to stringless controls really well, they jumped right in and have embraced it.”
