3D还是没有

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,“我看着它作为训练轮。它有点让我们在铁轨中。这种控制我感觉更好。“

佛罗里达州施工市场和琼斯在杰克逊维尔，琼斯建立了一个混凝土解决方案的机会。他的地球工程公司W. Gardner，LLC遇到了困难的当地混凝土承包商用完了一段时间，这揭示了市场差距。

从他的earthmovin发散g 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.

一种新的响应性，简单和精度

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的项目管理副总裁Jones and Rusty Grimes访问了电力魔法师制造工厂，了解有关拖动机的更多信息。琼斯透露，“这对索尔兹伯里的电力魔法师密封了这笔交易”. 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.”

补充他们的新人5700-D混凝土拖动机，3D具体解决方案的团队选择了徕卡图标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Stringlines，用于路边和排水沟作业

琼斯坚持以3D控件开始的主要原因之一是避免了Stringline限制。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，对于无缝的控制，琼斯指出，“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.”

生长强制执行，“它可以通过调查和销钉，节省成本。我们可以在那里滚动，在一两个小时内本地化一切，我们正在休息和跑步。我们已经尽可能多地做了4,000英尺或更多，这只是因为我们用完了泥。“Leica 3D机器控制系统不仅是混凝土铺路的时间和金钱储蓄，但它们的质量卓越。它们已经验证了小于0.02的垂直公差。

易于使用和易于采用3D机器控制解决方案到您的遏制机器

琼斯报告说“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.”

在与机器稳定后，琼斯表示，5700-D混凝土拖动机与Leica Geosystem的机器控制解决方案有“很好，我们喜欢它。野外的家伙喜欢它。它有效。“GRIMES观察到他们的拖动船员“适应无缝控制真的很好，他们跳进并拥抱它。”
