When you want the superior
averaging of a ski in an easy-to-use system that allows continuous work
throughout the day, the choice is clear. Look to Topcon for
Smoothtrac®, the world's only non-contacting grade averaging system.
Smoothtrac® features include:
- •Non-contacting averaging
- •Improved machine mobility
- •Seamless addition to your existing Profiler System Four or Five
Unlike other grade reference methods, Smoothtrac®
uses multiple sonic reference sensors that work independently over the
span of the non-contacting ski for greater averaging precision than
ever. In fact, only Smoothtrac® lets you mount up to 4 Sonic Tracker
II™ reference sensors onto one easy-to-use ski. And because it's easy
to use, you can benefit from Smoothtrac® on even the most difficult
jobs.
The Sonic Tracker IIs™ are the center of Smoothtrac's® unique
averaging method. Simply enter the desired grade into your control box
and let the Sonic Tracker IIs™ take it from there. They emit sound
pulses over 30 times per second and record the time it takes for those
pulses to echo back to the Sonic Tracker II™ from a grade reference,
such as the previous pass. Comparing these numbers, the system
automatically moves the cutting head to make the necessary grade
adjustment. Sound easy? It is.
Although each Sonic Tracker II™ provides an independent grade
reading, the combination of these readings from multiple Sonic Tracker
IIs™ produces far more accurate averaging than any other system
available.
And don't worry about setting up or removing Smoothtrac® from
the machine. The lightweight aluminum ski takes just minutes to
install. And, it breaks down into three sections for quick removal. Or,
if you want to leave it on the machine but need it out of the way,
Smoothtrac® has two hinged sections that let you fold it down to 1/3
its size!
