Compaction mapping efficiency

An efficient pass count mapping system for both soil and asphalt compaction machines is now being offered by Trimble. Called the CCSFlex, this package is designed to offer both asphalt and earthmoving contractors an easy-to-use and affordable system for pass count mapping. The package is said to suit both small contractors as well as contractors with large fleets and can be used on a variety of surfaces, from residential and country roads to major highways and airport runways.

Compaction productivity, efficiency and quality can be maximised according to Trimble by using its new CCSFlex package
An efficient pass count mapping system for both soil and asphalt compaction machines is now being offered by 2122 Trimble. Called the CCSFlex, this package is designed to offer both asphalt and earthmoving contractors an easy-to-use and affordable system for pass count mapping. The package is said to suit both small contractors as well as contractors with large fleets and can be used on a variety of surfaces, from residential and country roads to major highways and airport runways. The system is said to offer a reliable, flexible and affordable option for contractors looking to leverage compaction control technology. Using the CCSFlex to record and display pass count information, contractors can compact more efficiently, increasing production while maintaining the quality of each layer. Pass count information is displayed graphically on the CB450 control box. By increasing compaction efficiency, contractors can complete work faster, limit fuel consumption and reduce operating costs. Additionally, pass count information can be exported or printed to provide documentation to site management and local government agencies

The system is said to be easy to install and use. Contractors can start with a low cost solution and add sensors as their needs change. The sensor options expand the system functionality to provide compaction meter values (CMV) for soil and temperature mapping during asphalt compaction. In addition, contractors can choose accuracy levels ranging from standard to high precision, matching needs and budgets. The CCSFlex is quickly installed on a compactor with no requirement for welding or drilling and can be moved between compactors, making it ideal for use on rental machines. Deployment is simple as there is no need for 3D design files or GPS infrastructure in the basic system. The CCSFlex System for soil and asphalt compactors is available now through Trimble's SITECH dealer channel and other Trimble Heavy and Highway dealers
