Paving Control for Mills and Cold Planers

Mill out the waves. Controlling the precise cutting depth of the mill minimizes over-cutting, creates a smoother surface and reduces the need for additional material in the re-paving process.

Milling

Features and Benefits

Milling to a fixed depth often satisfies the specification for a resurfacing project, but it leaves any road smoothness improvements to the paver. With the Trimble Roadworks Paving Control Platform you can mill at variable depth and slope, eliminating undulations and preparing a smoother sub-surface for new asphalt.

Mill faster and produce a higher quality surface without stringline. When used in conjunction with a paver equipped with Trimble paving control, the end result is a significantly smoother road surface using less material and finished in less time.

Connected Construction
  • Upload designs, topographical and drone surveyed surfaces, and machine as-built data

Trimble Hot Swap

Trimble Hot Swap automatically transfers control to ensure a smooth transition between total stations. No need to stop the machine to make adjustments or re-calibrate

3D Paving Control

The Trimble Roadworks 3D Paving Control Platform for Mills and Cold Planers uses a 3D design model, the industry-leading SPS930 Universal Total Station, and on-machine sensors to mill at a fixed or variable depth, depending on job specifications.The 3D design is displayed to the machine operator showing areas that are on, above, or below ideal grade. Comparing the actual drum position and slope with the digital design, Trimble Roadworks for Mills and Cold Planers automatically guides the milling drum to cut the ideal depth and slope without string lines or manual adjustments.
