Wirtgen provides innovative solutions for customers for their day-to-day job site operations.
As the market leader, the Wirtgen Group Cold Milling machines comply with the statutory provisions regarding emissions legislation and supply customers with the matching machine technology in their respective markets worldwide. In addition to the eco-compatible operation made possible by new engine technology, Wirtgen has also developed numerous innovative features. These further improve milling, with machines ranging from the small W35DC, up to the large W 2000, and ensure optimum working results.
Rapid Slope ensures even better evenness
The new features include the new Rapid Slope, slope sensor, which makes the Level Pro automatic levelling system developed by Wirtgen even more efficient. The Level Pro automatic levelling system is fully integrated in the machine control system and enables the milling depth to be precisely adhered to with the help of various sensors. One outstanding feature is the intuitive and application-oriented operation with clear graphic displays and function keys. The new Rapid Slope cross slope sensor marks a revolution in the levelling process. The sensor boasts extremely fast and highly accurate recording of measurements. At the same time, these measured values are pro¡cessed in complex computations and forwarded to the machine control system. Wirtgen cold milling machines hence achieve hitherto unparalleled precision in cross slope profiles. This allows cons¡derably higher milling speeds with the same levelling quality.
Economic Efficiency due to Flexible Cutter System
The Flexible Cutter System or simply FCS enables milling drums to be changed quickly and easily. Wirtgen has continuously optimised the system over the past 15 years. Swift conversions mean that companies can use one machine for various types of work. The range of FCS milling drums with different working widths and spacings is vast. Depending on machine, no more than 0.5 to 1.5 hours are needed to change the milling drum, quickly converting the cold milling machine from a standard milling machine to a fine milling machine, for instance.
FCS Light allows wide range of applications
Practical experience has shown that especially using Wirtgen cold milling machines equipped with FCS allows rollers with different spacings to be used with a constant working width. This is why Wirtgen has developed a simplified version of its FCS system called FCS Light. This enables milling drums of the same width to be changed extremely quickly, so that a variety of different milling jobs can be carried out in quick succession.
