The Commander IIIx features extreme turning capabilities with rotary-sensored slew drives on each of the three tracks. GOMACO’s new software bundle for the G+ control system allows the operator to program the size of the radius into the controller. As the Commander IIIx approaches the radius, with the values already dialed in, the operator activates the radius program, and the curb and gutter machine slipforms around the radius.
G+ manages all aspects of traveling around the radius, including track angles and variable track speeds. When paving with stringline, the Commander IIIx uses the GOMACO three sensor steer system for the tight radius. The proper speed of each of the tracks is maintained by G+ with independent hydraulic circuits to each track so each one is traveling at the necessary varied speed to maintain the smooth radius. The Commander IIIx’s three tracks, equipped with rotary-sensored slew drives, also make slipforming curb and gutter in tight clearance conditions easier.
The intelligent All-Track Positioning on the Commander IIIx includes a smart hydraulic cylinder on all three legs. Intelligent offset is accomplished with a smart hydraulic cylinder for telescoping the mold mounting system. This provides G+ the ability for repeatable mold offset. And the trimmerhead and mold have independent vertical adjustments for raising and lowering.
The Commander IIIx pivoting operator’s console allows the operator to have hands-on control and clear view no matter what application is being slipformed or what the direction of travel. It has an optimized cooling package with the hydraulic fan controlled by G+ to adapt cooling needs to job-site conditions for both a quiet and efficient operation. Excellent fuel efficiency combined with an increased fuel capacity allows for all day of paving on the project. The three-track Commander IIIx is available with an optional on-board camera to monitor designated areas of the slipforming process. The camera can be positioned anywhere around the paver and feeds live to the G+ display on the operator’s console.
The Commander IIIx’s G+ control system easily interfaces with stringline or a 3D guidance system for curb and gutter, tight radius applications. It is also available with GOMACO Remote Diagnostics for machine troubleshooting, diagnostic reviews, and software updates.
