MOBA’s new CSMT-300 ultrasonic sensor for paving thickness measurement

1228 Moba has revised and improved the sensor technology on the company’s PAVE-TM paving thickness measuring system.

The technology has meant that PAVETM system - for non-contact layer thickness measurement - is now competing in the finals against two other innovations in the 688 bauma Innovation Awards category “Components, Digital Systems”.

Moba says that PAVE-TM is the world‘s only system for automatic layer thickness measurement in road construction. The system constantly displays the thickness of the paved asphalt layer which reduces manual measurements.

The new CSMT-300 ultrasonic sensor - developed in-house at MOBA specifically for thickness measurement - increases the accuracy of the system. The system reduces the amount of paving material and saves considerable costs.

Data collected by PAVE-TM can be incorporated into BIM – building information modelling – if it is being used by the contractors and client. This prepares the way for industry 4.0, the trend of automation and data exchange including cyber-physical systems, the Internet of things, cloud computing and cognitive computing. Industry 4.0 is commonly referred to as the fourth industrial revolution.

    MOBA’s new PAVE-IR Scan system offers a new way of monitoring and documenting the temperature during asphalt paving for an entire project. As a result, contractors can optimise their work and verify the quality of the paving process. With the system’s intelligent temperature scanner, the system measures the asphalt temperature over the whole paving width of up to eight metres. The temperature profile is displayed in real-time on the display and the operator can react at any time if irregularities occur. All
