Abstract: A method for laying down a pavement in which a compaction unit such as a tamper pre-compacts the paving material with a selectable stroke and at a selectable frequency while the pavement having a selectable pavement thickness is in the process of being laid down at a selectable paving speed, the stroke of the compaction unit is automatically adjustable in response to paving parameters, such as the paving speed and/or the pavement thickness, along a characteristic curve or in a characteristic map. The compaction unit includes an adjusting mechanism which is operable during the paving operation for adjusting the stroke of the compaction unit.

Abstract: In a method for laying down a pavement consisting of paving material with a screed of a road paver, in which a compaction unit, particularly a tamper, pre-compacts the paving material at cyclical work cycles with selectable stroke and selectable frequency while the pavement having a selectable pavement thickness) is in the process of being laid down at a selectable paving speed, at least the stroke is automatically adjustable in response to paving parameters, such as at least the paving speed and/or the pavement thickness, along a characteristic curve or in a characteristic map. In the screed the compaction unit comprises an adjusting mechanism which is operable during the ongoing paving work for adjusting the stroke of the compaction unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a road finisher (F) comprising a tractor (1), a programmed or programmable control unit (C), and one or a plurality of mechanical auxiliary components (Z) which are adapted to be selectively attached to the tractor (1). The invention is characterized in that the at least one mechanical auxiliary component (Z) is provided with a wireless-readable identification means (21), that the tractor (1) is provided with a read head (20) suitable for reading the identification means (21), and that the identification of the auxiliary component (Z) read by the read head (20) is adapted to be supplied to the control unit (C).

Abstract: A road finisher F for producing a continuous sprayed carpet T of a bonding agent on a planum has a spraying system S on a vehicle having at least two spraying facilities 11, 11?, 14, 14? which are located offset to each other in the and laterally to the traveling motion direction R and a control device which operates the spraying facilities using a method such that during a traveling motion of the vehicle a sprayed carpet T is produced with front and rear boundaries V, H which are continuous over the width of the sprayed carpet and which are parallel to a respective reference line L which is placed on the planum in front of the spraying facility which is the frontmost in traveling motion direction. The sprayed carpet T is produced such that each spraying facility 11, 11?, 14, 14? first is activated or deactivated depending on the traveling motion with a predetermined distance from the or when reaching the respective reference line L.
