Introduction
mmGPS 3D Paver is a complete, non-contacting control system
which combines elevation control and slope control into a simple,
easy to use package. Coupled with the precision of mmGPS, paving
applications gain greater control over mat thickness and material
management.
The mmGPS 3D Paver system provides multiple 3D and 2D options
for control applications (Figure 1-1). Regardless of the option(s)
selected, the control box analyzes design data and cross references it
with current sensor data to provide real-time information for
immediate operator and/or hydraulic response.

The mmGPS 3D Paver system includes various hardware options for
controlling mat thickness, including sonic, laser, slope, and mmGPS
solutions. The 9168 control box, in conjunction with 3DMC software,
provides a visual interpretation and on-the-fly control of the jobsite,
as well as real-time elevation/slope information (Figure 1-2 on
page 1-2).
