286 Minnich Manufacturing says that its new Auto Vibe Monitor allows flexible configurations for a simple readout and easy adjustments. The new unit can store data for transfer to a USB storage device and allows the operator to decide what is stored.  The operator can learn and store settings and data logs of multiple pavers onto a single monitor, which allows a company to share a monitor between pavers. The new monitor allows operators to control paving vibrators with a touch of a button and can increase or decrease the hydraulic flow to keep vibrators at a selected setting.

Minnich has also changed the vibrator speed sensor, which no longer mounts to the back of the motor. Using this style sensor allows the user to fit the sensor to the vibrator without having to disassemble the entire vibrator.
