  • Device and method for determining the temperature of a road building material applied by a construction machine, and construction machine comprising such a device
    Patent number: 10473637
    Abstract: A device for determining the temperature of a road building material applied by a construction machine in a mounting width is arranged at the construction machine in a range within the mounting width and has an infrared temperature measuring head, a motor and a controller, the infrared temperature measuring head being arranged to be twistable by the motor transverse to the direction of travel of the construction machine and being effective to record temperature measuring values of the surface of road building material during a rotational movement at at least two measuring points spaced apart from one another. The controller is effective to control the motor based on the fitting position of the device at the construction machine such that the distance between the measuring points on the surface to be measured remains equal.
