G&Z Brings EGON IntelliMatics™ and Other Machine Improvements to CONEXPO 2014

 

Guntert & Zimmerman (G&Z) is proud to take part in CONEXPO/CONAGG 2014 (South Hall, Booth #61115) with its EGON IntelliMatics™, updated TC1500: Texture Cure Machine, S600: Multi-Purpose Concrete Slipform Paver and TeleEnd: Telescopic End Section.

EGON IntelliMatics saw its international release at bauma 2013. EGON IntelliMatics will be rolled out to the US market at CONEXPO. EGON IntelliMatics takes the concept of telematics — monitoring engine functions to catch small issues before they become major problems — and expands this to all aspects of machine operation including hydraulic and electrical functions.

 

The updated TC1500: Texture Cure Machine will feature new relocatable jacking columns, new cure spray hood with quick width change feature, new cure spray system, new standard cure tote usability and new EGON Plus+1 controls.

 

The S600: Multi-Purpose Slipform Paver will be equipped with new features including EGON IntelliMatics and TightTrack: Tight Trackline Paving Package that allows contractors to pave with only 12” (30cm) of companion lane trackline...Read More

Guntert & Zimmerman Partners with Leica Geosystems

Starting in late 2008, Guntert & Zimmerman (G&Z) and Leica Geosystems partnered together with the goal of 3D stringless technology to a customer base focused on ride smoothness.  No one has every argued about the huge potential benefits of 3D stringless paving; however, prior to this time, stringless technology was widely considered by contractors to be more suited to airfield paving and highway paving under less stringent smoothness specifications.  This perception was changed in late 2009 when G&Z and Leica Geosystems partnered with Flynn Construction of Dubuque, IA on their 10.5 mile Highway 65 Demonstration project near  Mason City, Iowa where Flynn’s G&Z S850 paver was controlled using Leica’s industry-standard LMGS-S stringless concrete paving system. 

Under Iowa’s very strict zero blanking band smoothness specification, Flynn earned 100% of the available smoothness bonus and did zero grinding.  The smoothness achieved on the Flynn I-65 project established a new paradigm using Leica’s LMGS-S,  ride was indisputably proven to be as good as the best stringline-guided slipform paving.
