“ACE” Intelligent Control for All Compaction Applications

Ammann now offers the same ACE technology on its AVH 6030 model, a three-shaft high performance vibratory plate compactor, as it does on its heavy equipment line.

With the introduction ACE on this model, Ammann Canada now offers intelligent compaction control across a range of soil and asphalt compaction applications.

ACE, the Ammann Compaction Expert, is an electronic measuring and control system for vibrating rollers that automatically adjusts the amplitude and frequency to suit the characteristics of the ground. The system has been available in larger Ammann machines for several years, helping operators to achieve target levels of compaction without over-compacting or loosening material.

ACE-equipped machines provide continuous measurement of absolute compaction values, automatic adjustment of compaction parameters and comprehensive documentation of the compaction process.

ACE manages the machine’s compaction effort according to its reading of the layer’s load bearing capacity. The system automatically reduces the compactor amplitude in hard areas, and increases amplitude where load capacity is low. The operator is presented with a clear and simple display of machine and compaction data. The display also provides the recommended speed for optimum compaction, so the operation can be completed accurately in the fewest possible passes.

Ammann recently introduced updated versions of its compaction control with the ACEplus system including new GPS technology. This system, available on the larger machine puts on-site mapping of compaction results into the operator’s compartment through a touchscreen PC display. The graphic display represents a range of quality values including load-bearing capacity, number of passes, temperature and other details. The GPS signal in ACEplus can also be used to upload CCC data to remote IT systems for analysis and archiving.
