Topcon updates P-32 asphalt paving system Topcon Positioning Systems updat- ed its P-32 asphalt paving system with a ST-3 sonic tracker, anti-vi- bration slope sensor and fi rmware update to the GC-35 control box. The ST-3 sonic tracker is de- signed to provide optimal position indication on string lines, a wide range of linear detection and work well in tight areas. The slope sen- sor is added to improve accuracy in challenging conditions. The fi rm- ware update offers improved slope accuracy data by displaying the cross slope value when the control box is set in elevation control mode on both sides. Block slope calibration prevents operators from changing the slope sensor while the system is in operation.
