CALIBRATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A SPRAYING MACHINE
A paving system may include a paving machine, including a paving material delivery assembly, including a hopper, a conveyor assembly, an auger, and a screed. The paving machine may also include an emulsion fluid delivery assembly including a plurality of spray bars, wherein each spray bar includes one or more nozzles. The paving system may also include a controller and a display interface. The controller may be configured to receive inputs from the display interface indicative of a mass and an area of emulsion fluid delivered from one active nozzle in order to calibrate the emulsion fluid delivery assembly.
HEIGHT AND ROTATIONAL ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM FOR ONE OR MORE SPRAY GUNS USED IN A LINE STRIPER
A system and method have been shown for the effective implementation of a height and rotational adjustment system for one or more spray guns for use in a line striper.
Systems and Methods for Automating the Application of Friction-Modifying Coatings
A system and method for the application of friction-modifying coatings to roadways, walkways, pathways and other areas subject to vehicular, human or animal traffic, the system and method comprising the controlled, simultaneous application of binder and filler to a surface of a substrate, using a mobile device which passes over the substrate as the binder and filler are being applied. The system includes a frame coupled to a vehicle. A binder applicator is mounted on the frame and includes an array of spray nozzles coupled to a resin container. An air knife is mounted on the frame and coupled to an air compressor for generating an air curtain. An aggregate dispenser bar including at least one aggregate dispenser is coupled to an aggregate bin and mounted on the frame for dispensing aggregate.
AUTOMATIC WATER SPRAY MILLING FOR COLD PLANER
A spray system for a cold planer machine is disclosed. The spray system includes a spray bank disposed inside a housing and arranged to spray fluid directed at a drum and a spray controller. The spray controller is configured to receive an indication indicative of either one of a milling operation and a plunge cut operation is occurring and actuate fluid spray via the spray bank based at least in part on the received indication.

Graphical user interface (GUI) for height and rotational adjustment system for a plurality of spray guns used in a line striper
Disclosed within are various methods for adjusting height and rotation of a spray gun used in a line striper via a graphical user interface (GUI) in a control device.
Systems and methods for spray bar control in paving machine
Systems and methods for spraying control in a paving machine comprise a screed system having an adjustable width, a position sensor configured to sense widths of the screed system, a spray bar having adjustable positions, a spray bar actuator to adjust positions of the spray bar, a spray bar sensor to sense positions of the spray bar, and a controller coupled to the position sensor, spray bar actuator and spray bar sensor that is configured to adjust the spray bar actuator depending on the sensed width. The spray bar sensor and actuator can be integrated together.
Paving machine with an emulsion tank level sensor
A paving machine includes an operator station including an operator display, a hopper to store paving material, a conveyor system to transfer the paving material to a dispersion system, and an emulsion system. The emulsion system includes an emulsion tank to store and dispense emulsion fluid, a sensor to measure a level of emulsion fluid, and a light indicator located in a forward line of sight from the operator station and including a first light portion signaling a tank full condition, and second light portion signaling an tank low condition.
Control system for a paving machine
A paving system includes a paving machine, a controller, and a control panel. The paving machine includes a machine frame, a drive assembly, and a paving material delivery assembly, which includes a hopper, a conveyor assembly, an auger, and a screed. The paving machine also includes an emulsion fluid delivery assembly, including a tank of emulsion fluid and a spray bar including a plurality of nozzles. The controller is wired or wirelessly coupled to the tank and the spray bar to control at least one of a temperature, pressure, or delivery rate of the emulsion fluid through the nozzles.
