  • Paving apparatus with automatic mold positioning control system
    Patent number: 6109825
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for automatically controlling operation of a slip form paver to maintain a substantially constant mold position relative to a string line while changing the cross slope of the mold. The paver follows a path over the ground relative to a string line using grade and steer sensors to detect changes in the vertical and horizontal distance of the mold relative to the string line. A slope sensor detects changes in cross slope of the mold. Piston-cylinder mechanisms responsive to signals from the steer, slope and grade sensors as used to position the mold relative to the string line.
