Which concrete laser leveling machine is better to choose?
November 24, 2023

The concrete leveling can be said to be an indispensable and important mechanical equipment in road construction. Although it is powerful, the purchase price is relatively high. Therefore, it is necessary to correctly and reasonably select, use and maintain the concrete leveling. , is the key to extending the service life of equipment, reducing operating costs of the entire machine, and improving operating efficiency. Below, our company will combine many years of experience in the use and management of concrete leveling machines to put forward several issues that should be paid attention to during use. We hope that new users will keep them in mind.
Before moving the concrete leveling, you should first check the road condition, remove obstacles on the road, keep irrelevant personnel away from the excavator, and then lift the bucket to prepare for starting. Check the direction of the crawler frame, determine the position of the driving wheels, then sound the horn, and the leveler starts walking slowly. When reversing the concrete leveling machine, the space behind the vehicle should be estimated in advance. If the blind spot is too large, a dedicated person should be asked to direct and coordinate from behind. The driver controls the walking speed according to the road conditions. When walking on open flat ground, you can select the "1" gear. The leveler's walking speed will automatically increase or decrease according to the working pressure of the hydraulic walking circuit; when walking up or down a slope, you can select "0" In gear, the leveling travels at low speed and high torque.
When the concrete leveling is walking, try to choose a flat road surface to avoid the rotation of the upper turntable. When walking on poor ground, avoid rocks from damaging the walking motor and crawler frame. When the leveler is walking on the slope, try to drive in a straight line; keep the bucket 20-30cm away from the ground. If it encounters slippage and rolling, put down the bucket immediately. If stalling occurs on a slope, lower the bucket to the ground, place the control lever in the neutral position, and then restart the engine. Try to avoid walking in the water with the concrete leveling. If you need to wade, check the water depth and the soft and hard platform level of the bottom in advance. It is not suitable to walk if the underwater mud is too deep or the water surface exceeds the crawler tracks.
It should be noted that inspections are also required before starting the engine of the concrete leveling, such as checking the coolant level (adding water), checking whether the air filter is clogged, checking the excavator engine oil level, and checking the hydraulic oil. (add hydraulic oil), check the excavator fuel level (add fuel), check whether the horn is normal, check the lubrication of the bucket, check the water and sediment in the oil-water separator, etc.
In short, no matter which type of concrete leveling is used, relevant personnel are required to master the principles and structure of the equipment proficiently before use, and try their best to do all aspects of work during the operation. Of course, during maintenance It is also necessary to achieve careful observation, comprehensive analysis, comprehensive judgment, and timely summary. Only in this way can we get twice the result with half the effort in the follow-up work.

What impact does poor laser signal reception stability of a concrete laser screed have on construction?
The poor stability of laser signal reception in concrete laser levelings is a serious construction quality issue. It can trigger a series of negative chain reactions like a "domino effect". The following are the specific impacts it has on construction, ranging from direct effects to long-term consequences: Manifestation: The ground shows "wavy" undulations, local depressions or protrusions. The reason is that the receiver signal is intermittent or fluctuating, causing the lifting cylinder of the leveling machine to constantly perform incorrect correction actions, and the scraper cannot maintain a constant height. Performance: It is impossible to achieve the absolute level of the design (such as high-standard warehouses) or precise slope (such as ground with drainage requirements). Reason: The laser emitter establishes an accurate reference plane. An unstable receiver means that the leveling has lost this reliable reference and is unable to spread the concrete to the designed height Performance: Frequent shutdowns are required to inspect the laser transmitter, receiver or circuit. The reason is that in order to ensure quality, the operator has to stop the construction for investigation once any abnormality is found in the process of flattening the head, which seriously slows down the progress. Performance: More experienced workers are needed for manual remediation. The reason is that for uneven ground, a large number of workers need to use handheld trowels to "make up" in the later stage. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also the accuracy of manual leveling is far lower than that of machines. Manifestation: Inaccurate control of concrete usage. Reason: Uncontrolled elevation may lead to local concrete being too thick (wasting materials) or too thin (requiring replenishment and affecting strength). Manifestation: Irregular cracks appear on the ground after use. The reason is that poor flatness leads to uneven thickness of the concrete surface layer in subsequent pouring. Under the action of load and shrinkage, stress concentration is prone to occur at the junction of thin and thick layers, thus causing cracking. Symptoms: Dust, sand and aggregates appear on the ground too early. The reason is that high places are prone to wear and tear, while low places are likely to accumulate dirt and get damaged. At the same time, subsequent hardeners or sealants are also difficult to apply evenly, further reducing the overall durability of the ground. Performance: High-standard industrial floors (such as VNA ultra-flat warehouses), epoxy floors, PVC roll material laying, etc. cannot be carried out or the cost has increased sharply. The reason is that these processes have extremely high requirements for the flatness of the base layer (such as FF/FL values). If the base is uneven, either construction cannot be carried out or a huge cost needs to be spent on grinding or self-leveling to level it. Performance: Difficult installation of high-rack shelves and questionable stability; Automated equipment such as automatic guided vehicles (AGVs) and stackers operate unstably, have poor precision and a high failure rate. Reason: These devices are extremely sensitive to the flatness of the ground. Even the slightest unevenness can cause the devices to shift, vibrate or stop rotating. After understanding the impact, it is also necessary to know the root cause of the problem in order to solve it in a targeted manner Problems with the laser emitter itself: insufficient battery power, self-accuracy drift, or displacement or vibration caused by human or equipment collision. Receiver and sensor issues: Receiver damage, photosensitive element blocked by dirt, poor contact of signal lines. Environmental interference Obstruction: Construction workers, equipment, and building materials temporarily blocked the laser beam. Vibration: Heavy equipment is in operation nearby, or the tripod of the transmitter is not stable, causing the transmitter to shake. Temperature and air flow: In extreme environments, heat waves can cause changes in air density, leading to slight refraction of laser beams (" mirage "effect), which affects the stability of long-distance signals. Operational issue: When the transmitter is set up at a height that exceeds its effective range, or when the ground has a significant slope, the Angle between the laser line and the receiver is too large, resulting in poor signal reception. Conclusion The stability of laser signal reception is the "lifeline" of concrete laser leveling machine construction. Once a problem occurs, it is by no means just a minor issue of "a slightly uneven ground", but will have a serious impact on the project from multiple dimensions such as quality, efficiency, cost and safety. Before and during construction, ensuring the stability and reliability of the laser system must be regarded as a core task for inspection and management. Note: The parameters provided in this document are for reference only and are not mandatory. Due to differences in technical characteristics between different brands and models of laser levelers, please consult the manufacturer for a suitable solution before actual operation. This reference document assumes no responsibility for any issues arising from failure to follow the manufacturer's instructions.Read More

Large-area ultra-flat wear-resistant floor concrete laser leveling machine one-time forming construction method
At the moment when the construction field is constantly innovating, the pursuit of flatness, strength and construction efficiency in large-area floor construction has reached a new height. Traditional construction methods are difficult to accurately control flatness when dealing with large-scale ground operations, and the construction period is long. The use of concrete laser leveling machine Beton – Laser – Nivelliermaschine to implement one-time forming construction has become an effective solution to break through these bottlenecks and provide strong guarantees for creating high-quality ultra-flat wear-resistant floors. Excellent precision: With the help of advanced laser systems, Macchina livellatrice laser per calcestruzzo has extremely high control accuracy for ground elevation, and can control flatness deviation within a very small range, far exceeding traditional construction methods, and meeting the stringent requirements of high-standard ultra-flat floors. Efficient operation: The equipment has a leading degree of automation, and a large area of ground leveling can be completed in a single operation. Compared with traditional manual leveling, the construction period is greatly shortened and the construction efficiency is greatly improved. Material optimization: With precise elevation control, it can effectively avoid the situation of too much or too little concrete laying, reduce material waste and construction costs. Performance enhancement: Uniform vibration during the leveling process makes the internal structure of the concrete more compact and uniform, significantly enhances the strength and wear resistance of the ground, and extends the service life of the ground. This method is widely used in various large-area places with high requirements for ground flatness and wear resistance, such as industrial plants that need to withstand the operation of heavy equipment; logistics warehouses, where frequent cargo handling causes great damage to the ground; large shopping malls, where there is a large flow of people and the ground needs to be beautiful; parking lots, where vehicles frequently enter and exit and test the durability of the ground, etc. The core of Extendedoras de hormigón lies in the collaborative work of high-precision laser transmitters and receivers. The laser transmitter emits a stable horizontal laser beam, just like building a precise reference plane in the air. The laser receiver is installed on the leveling machine frame to capture the laser signal in real time and quickly transmit it to the control system. The control system automatically and accurately adjusts the height of the screed blade according to the received signal to ensure accurate leveling of the concrete surface during the process. At the same time, the vibrating device equipped with the screed works synchronously to fully vibrate the concrete, ensure its density, and lay the foundation for high-quality ground. Base treatment → measurement and layout → installation of formwork → concrete pouring → laser leveling machine leveling → surface treatment (smoothing, spreading wear-resistant materials, etc.) → maintenance Base treatment Thoroughly remove debris, dust, oil and other pollutants on the surface of the base to ensure that the surface of the base is clean and flat, providing a good foundation for subsequent construction. Use compaction machinery to compact the base. For weak foundations, effective measures such as replacement and reinforcement piles are required to improve the bearing capacity of the base and prevent later ground settlement. Measurement and layout Use precision measuring instruments such as total stations to accurately measure and lay out the elevation control lines and construction boundaries of the floor according to the requirements of the design drawings. Set firm control points at a certain distance (usually 3-5 meters) on the base. These control points serve as key references for the initial positioning and calibration of the laser leveling machine to ensure the accuracy of the equipment's running trajectory and elevation control. Install the formwork Install the formwork strictly according to the measured layout position. The formwork should be made of materials with high strength and good rigidity, such as high-quality steel formwork or reinforced wooden formwork. Use a level to accurately adjust the elevation of the top surface of the formwork so that it is completely consistent with the design elevation. The joints of the formwork should be tight, and sealing strips or tapes can be used to seal to prevent leakage during concrete pouring and affect the quality of the ground. Preferably use commercial concrete, and its mix ratio needs to be professionally optimized according to factors such as engineering design strength, durability, and construction environment to ensure that the concrete performance meets the construction requirements. Concrete is efficiently transported to the construction area through equipment such as concrete pump trucks or mixer trucks. Pour in layers and sections from one end to the other. The pouring thickness should be 2-3 cm higher than the design elevation, and space for leveling should be reserved. During the pouring process, use an inserted vibrator or a flat vibrator to vibrate the concrete in time. The vibration points should be evenly distributed to avoid leakage or over-vibration and ensure the density of the concrete. Laser leveling machine leveling After the concrete pouring is completed, the laser leveling machine should be driven into the construction area as soon as possible to avoid the initial setting of the concrete affecting the leveling effect. Start the laser transmitter and laser leveling machine in turn, calibrate and debug the equipment comprehensively, and check whether the laser signal reception, scraper lifting control, and vibration device operation are normal. The operator sets a reasonable leveling machine route and speed according to the shape and area of the construction site. The general speed is controlled at 1-3 meters per minute. During the leveling machine's movement, pay close attention to the equipment's operating status and the concrete surface. If local unevenness, depressions or convexities are found, stop the machine immediately and use manual filling or shoveling to repair. Surface treatment For ordinary floors, use a trowel machine for mechanical troweling after the initial setting of the concrete and before the final setting. The trowel machine operates in a horizontal and vertical cross-pattern, and generally needs to be troweled 3-5 times until the ground surface is flat, smooth, and free of smear marks. For wear-resistant floors, when the concrete is initially set, the wear-resistant materials (such as metal aggregates and non-metallic aggregate wear-resistant materials) selected according to the design requirements will be evenly spread on the concrete surface, and the spreading amount will be determined according to the material description and design requirements. After spreading, use a trowel to smooth the surface so that the wear-resistant materials and concrete are fully integrated to form a solid and wear-resistant floor surface. Maintenance After the ground construction is completed, maintenance work should be carried out immediately. Sprinkling maintenance can be used. The number of sprinkling times per day is determined according to the temperature and humidity, generally not less than 3-5 times, to keep the ground moist; plastic film can also be covered to prevent water evaporation and maintain the internal humidity of the concrete; curing agent can also be sprayed to form a protective film on the ground to achieve the maintenance effect. The curing time is usually not less than 7-14 days, and the specific duration is determined according to the concrete strength growth and relevant specifications. During the maintenance period, it is strictly forbidden for people and vehicles to walk or roll on the ground to prevent damage to the ground strength growth process and ensure that the final strength of the ground meets the design requirements. Concrete: must strictly meet the design strength grade requirements, have good workability, fluidity and durability, and ensure easy pouring and vibration during construction. Wear-resistant materials: accurately select wear-resistant materials according to the actual needs of the project and design standards. Metal aggregate wear-resistant materials have the characteristics of high hardness and high strength; non-metal aggregate wear-resistant materials have excellent performance in impact resistance and anti-static, and can be selected as needed. Formwork materials: steel formwork has the advantages of high strength and high turnover; wooden formwork has certain advantages in shape adaptability and splicing flexibility. Appropriate formwork materials can be selected according to construction conditions and cost considerations, but their strength and rigidity must meet construction requirements. Extendedoras de hormigón: According to the size of the construction site, the complexity of the shape and the ground design requirements, reasonably select equipment models with power, leveling width and accuracy. Laser transmitter and receiver: Closely matched with laser leveling machine, laser transmitter emits stable and accurate laser beam, receiver accurately captures signal, the two work together to ensure high precision of elevation control, and their performance directly affects the quality of ground leveling. Concrete delivery equipment: Concrete pump truck has strong mobility and is suitable for concrete delivery in different site conditions; mixer truck can ensure the uniformity and working performance of concrete during transportation, and can be reasonably used according to the construction site conditions. Trowel machine: Divided into hand-held type and driving type, selected according to the ground area and construction efficiency requirements. Its high-speed rotating trowel compacts and smoothes the ground to make the ground flat and smooth. Measuring instruments: Total station is used for large-area high-precision measurement and layout; level can accurately measure elevation; theodolite assists in determining angles and verticality. These measuring instruments jointly provide accurate data support for positioning and elevation control during construction. Quality management system construction: Set up a professional quality management team to clarify the specific responsibilities of each member in the stages of construction preparation, construction process and quality acceptance. Formulate a detailed quality management system and set clear and quantifiable quality goals, such as controlling the ground flatness deviation within ±2 mm. Raw material quality control: Each batch of raw materials such as concrete and wear-resistant materials entering the site shall be inspected and tested strictly in accordance with relevant standards. Concrete needs to be tested for slump, compressive strength and other indicators; wear-resistant materials need to be tested for their wear resistance, hardness and other properties to ensure that the quality of raw materials fully meets the design and specification requirements and ensure the quality of the project from the source. Construction process quality supervision: Arrange professional quality management personnel to supervise the entire construction process and strictly follow the established construction process and operation points. Focus on monitoring whether the laser operation is standardized, including equipment calibration, travel speed and route control; whether the concrete pouring and vibration meet the requirements, such as pouring sequence, vibration time and depth, etc.; the timing of polishing in the surface treatment process, the uniformity of wear-resistant material spreading, etc., and timely rectification when problems are found. Quality acceptance: After the construction is completed, the ground is comprehensively inspected in accordance with the current relevant national specifications and standards. Use professional measuring tools to detect the flatness and elevation deviation of the ground; use equipment such as rebound testers to detect the ground strength; and use wear resistance testers to test the wear resistance of wear-resistant floors. Only after all indicators meet the requirements after testing can the project quality be determined to be qualified. Building a safety management system: Develop a complete safety management system covering all aspects such as construction site safety protection, equipment operation specifications, and personnel safety training. Clarify the safety responsibilities of personnel in various positions, and implement safety responsibilities at all levels from project managers to front-line construction personnel. Safety education and training: Regularly organize construction personnel to participate in safety education and training, including safety regulations, safety operating procedures, accident case analysis, etc. New employees must undergo three-level safety education and training and pass the assessment before they can take up their posts. Special types of work (such as electricians, welders, machine operators, etc.) must be certified to work, and continuously improve the safety awareness and operating skills of construction personnel. Safety protection at the construction site: Set up obvious safety warning signs at the entrance of the construction site and dangerous areas (such as deep foundation pits, high-altitude working areas, etc.). Set up protective railings and safety nets for high-altitude working surfaces; equip construction workers with qualified personal protective equipment such as safety helmets, safety belts, safety shoes, and supervise their correct wearing and use. Equipment safety management: Establish a regular inspection and maintenance system for construction equipment such as laser levelers and concrete conveying equipment, conduct equipment appearance inspections and performance tests before and after each use, and conduct regular comprehensive maintenance and repairs. During the operation of the equipment, operators must strictly abide by the operating procedures, and illegal operations are strictly prohibited to prevent safety accidents caused by equipment failures or improper operations. Construction dust control: Harden the main roads in the construction site, and arrange special personnel to sprinkle water to reduce dust regularly. Sand, stone and other materials that are prone to dust are stored in closed silos, or covered with dustproof nets to reduce dust pollution. Construction noise control: Plan construction time reasonably to avoid high-noise operations during residents' rest time (such as 22:00 to 6:00 the next day). Take noise reduction measures for high-noise equipment such as concrete pumps and vibrators, such as installing silencers and setting up soundproof covers, to reduce the impact of construction noise on the surrounding environment. Waste treatment: Set up classified trash cans and waste storage sites at the construction site to classify and collect construction waste and domestic waste generated during the construction process. Recyclable waste (such as scrap steel, waste wood, etc.) is recycled and reused; non-recyclable waste is transported to designated locations for proper disposal in accordance with the requirements of local environmental protection departments to prevent environmental pollution. Economic benefits: The one-time forming construction method of the laser leveling machine has greatly improved construction efficiency, shortened the construction period, and correspondingly reduced labor costs and equipment rental costs. Accurate leveling effectively reduces concrete waste and saves material costs. Comprehensive calculations can significantly improve the economic benefits of the project. Social benefits: The high-quality, ultra-flat, wear-resistant floor created by this method can effectively improve the performance and durability of the building, reduce the cost of later maintenance and renovation, provide the society with better building space, and create good social benefits. Environmental benefits: By implementing a series of environmental protection measures, such as dust control, noise control, and reasonable disposal of waste, the pollution of the surrounding environment during the construction process is reduced, which conforms to the concept of green environmental protection and sustainable development, and produces positive environmental benefits.Read More
