How Does The Concrete Laser Leveler/ Leveling Achieve Such Excellent Leveling Effects?

December 7, 2023

Laser leveling machines have high requirements and standards for road surface smoothness. When performing road surface smoothing, the requirements for smoothness are still relatively high. This is because the smoothness of the road surface also plays a big role in the beauty of the environment. Generally speaking, if manual leveling is used, the effect will not be very good. Fortunately, there are laser leveling machines now, and many construction units have also chosen laser leveling machines for road smoothing operations. So laser leveling machines How does it achieve such excellent leveling effect?
Laser leveling machines have high requirements and standards for road smoothness
1. Control of the laser leveling machine's baseline: When the leveling machine performs automatic leveling, it needs an accurate reference surface. Generally, when the main focus is to control the height, the tightrope method is suitable; when the main focus is to control the thickness, the floating datum beam method is adopted. Generally, tightrope is used for the bottom layer, and floating datum beam method is used for the middle layer and surface layer. The benchmark wire rope method is to install benchmark wire ropes on both sides of the road, but note: the spacing between the pillars and steel bars supporting the steel wire ropes cannot be too large, generally 5-10m; the steel bars should be 1-2mm higher than the design elevation, and the elevation of the steel bars must be ensured when laying Always accurate during the construction process.

2. Paving speed control of laser leveling machine: The leveling machine should work at a constant speed without stopping, and it is strictly forbidden to be fast and slow. During the leveling process, stoppages should be avoided as much as possible, and the necessary daily stoppages should be placed at the location where the contraction joint is scheduled to be made at one end of the structure. In case of shutdown in the middle, the leveling of the leveling should be locked to prevent it from sinking; when the mixture temperature is above 100°C, the pause time should not exceed 10 minutes. When the pause time exceeds 30 minutes or the mixture temperature is below 100°C, Re-seam according to the method of treating cold seams
3. Laser leveling machine operation control measures: Skill ed laser leveling machine operators should be selected and given pre-job training; during the paving process, the material transport truck should stop 10-30m away from the laser leveling machine and In neutral gear, rely on the laser leveler to push forward slowly, and there should be a dedicated person to direct the unloading truck to unload; ensure the continuity of the work of the leveling machine's feeding system, that is, ensure the height of the material level in the casters (conveyor wheels) Stable, uniform and continuous, the material level height should be kept at 2/3 of the blade above the central axis. Before construction, the leveling must be cleaned. After adjusting the height and cross slope of the leveling, preheat the leveling. The preheating temperature of the leveling should be close to the temperature of the asphalt mixture, which can generally be heated to 85°C-90°C.
