MOBA’s improved system boosts levelling accuracy

The new MOBA-MATIC II levelling control system is said to offer an array of innovative features that improve ease of use and safety. The control handset now comes with a large screen so that the most important value is always within view of the operator. It also has a backlit keypad making working in low, ambient light far easier.

The new 1228 MOBA-MATIC II levelling control system is said to offer an array of innovative features that improve ease of use and safety. The control handset now comes with a large screen so that the most important value is always within view of the operator. It also has a backlit keypad making working in low, ambient light far easier.

Most importantly, however, is that with a single control panel, both sides of the screed can now be controlled from one screen making it both substantially easier and safer for the user. Another major upgrade has also been made to MOBA’s Sonic Ski sensor as it becomes the first device to come equipped with five sensors that more accurately determine the distance to the reference point.
