A microtunneling machine’s automatic steering system, which eliminates the need for workers to enter the borehole, is an automated system.
The mechanical articulation of the microtunneling boring machine (MTBM) enables steering of the shield as well as adjustments to preserve the stability of the face based on the soil conditions encountered during digging.
Trenchless construction techniques like microtunneling are supported by a jacking frame and advanced by jacks. Pipes with diameters ranging from 48 inches to 12 feet can be placed precisely thanks to the automated steering system.
The automatic system may be operated remotely from the surface, and it has the ability to steer and indicate steering direction as well as control rotation and inject lubricant around the jacked pipe.
By mounting a casing pipe in the jacking frame and attaching slurry lines and control cables, microtunneling can be completed.
Global automotive steering system horizontal machining market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
The industry’s first automatic steering control solution for soil compactors and the next step toward Trimble’s autonomous vision, Trimble today unveiled Horizontal Steering Control capabilities on the Trimble Earthworks Grade Control Platform for Soil Compactors.
Operators can produce higher-quality surfaces and uniform compaction with the use of horizontal steering control. Contractors with varied fleets can get a quicker return on investment thanks to compatibility with all dirt compactor brands and models.
Using a 3D model or compaction pass line, Trimble Earthwork’s Horizontal Steering Control automatically guides a soil compactor.
By carefully regulating overlap between passes, this helps to increase compaction productivity and quality for operators of different skill levels.
Auto steering makes the subsurface more consistent, resulting in a higher-quality, longer-lasting finished product. It also lessens over- and under-compaction.
No matter where our customers are on their path to autonomy, they are constantly innovating and designing solutions to fit their needs.
Although controlling a soil compactor with accuracy and consistency is challenging, over- or under-compaction results in lost time and resources as well as less durable surfaces.
