Abstract: An automotive construction machine, in particular a slipform paver or a road milling machine, has at least one front running gear and one rear running gear in the working direction. As the construction machine advances, the lifting systems of the front running gear are extended or retracted such that the machine frame remains in a predetermined orientation to the surface of the ground in the longitudinal direction. Irregularities in the ground surface are detected as the construction machine advances, and the position of the front lifting systems, predetermined by the control or regulating unit, is monitored to keep the machine frame in a predetermined orientation to the ground surface. As the construction machine advances, the control of the rear lifting systems is engaged with a time delay subject to the control of the front lifting systems.

Abstract: A multi-stage piston compressor with a cooling arrangement is provided. The multi-stage piston compressor includes a compressor unit having a plurality of air-cooled cylinders on a crankcase housing, a motor unit that is mounted at an end face of the crankcase housing, and a cooler unit at an opposing end face of the compressor unit. An axial fan wheel of the cooler unit blows cooling air substantially outwards toward the compressor unit. In order to conduct cooling air externally in the region of said compressor unit, at least one air guide housing mounted between the cooler unit and the crankcase extends at least partially radially around the crankcase in a curved manner, such that the axial air flow generated by the axial fan wheel is at least partially guided around the crankcase in the radial direction and toward at least one cylinder at the air outlet side of the air guide housing.

Abstract: A system is provided for varying the width of a molded concrete slab on the fly as the slab is being molded. Position and height of the paving machine relative to an external reference system are determined and controlled using at least two 3D stringless reference objects. An additional sensor provides a signal corresponding to a frame width and thus a concrete slab width, and an actuator controls the frame width actively as the paving machine advances.
