Compaction

Cat^® Compaction with Temperature Indication for asphalt helps operators visualize coverage area while recording Pass-Count and Temperature data. The system utilizes infrared temperature sensors and GPS mapping to keep the operator informed of current mat temperatures, machine position, pass-count and pass coverage.

Cat Compaction with Compaction Algorithm combines advanced compaction measurement, in-cab guidance for operators, and reporting capabilities for managers. Includes a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver and mapping display.

Compaction Meter Value is an accelerometer-based system that provides an indication of material stiffness. The system is available on smooth drum vibratory soil compactors and tandem vibratory asphalt compactors. It measures only when the vibratory system is active, and provides a unitless value derived from the recorded data that indicates composite stiffness.

Cat Compaction with Machine Drive Power (MDP) is an energy-based measurement system that correlates compaction with rolling resistance to provide an indication of soil stiffness. An optional mapping system helps operators visualize work as it occurs.

Cat® mapping technology combines location, pass count, and compaction measurements to create a real-time visualization as compaction happens. In addition to monitoring from the operator station, the system records and saves data to the cloud for further analysis.
