During bauma 2019 the Daily News team has brought you the latest product news, views and some of the more lighthearted moments from the world’s biggest construction show. Here we look at some of the highlights
Idromeccanica Ramtec brought two models from its expanded hammer range to INTERMAT.
Models such as the RT 1600 and RT 590 brought to the show have additional features but also retain proven aspects of the earlier models, which remain available.
Changes in the latest models include improved noise levels and compatibility with a larger range of excavators. The latest models also absorb vibrations at the arm of the excavator to a greater degree than in the past.
Matest subsidiary Pavetest launched its new thermal stress restrained specimen test (TSRST) machine, the TSRST-Multi, at bauma. Designed for tests set down in the AASHTO TP10-93 and EN 12697-46 standards, the machine can test three specimens simultaneously inside a temperature-controlled cabinet which can vary in increments of 10 degrees between - 40 and +40 degrees C.
“We decided to come up with a flexible approach where each station can test statically or dynamically. And you can have any combination,”

Trimble’s sophisticated PCS900 machine control system can now be used on milling machines and slipform pavers, as well as featuring additional functionalities. Jeroen Snoeck, global segment manager for Trimble Navigation, said, “It used to be just for asphalt pavers but now we’re adding two more machines, mills and slipform pavers.”
