Cat Compact with Compaction Meter Value (CMV) for Sale in Utah at Wheeler Machinery Co.

Cat Compact with Compaction Meter Value (CMV)

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 calculation derived from the recorded data that indicates composite stiffness.

Features

Consistent quality

Helps the operator produce uniform compaction. On asphalt applications, can help indicate base structure health.
Mapping correlates compaction measurements to location they were taken, allowing the operator to visually monitor progress, identify trouble spots, ensure coverage and uniformity

Optimizes efficiency

Empowers operator to determine when compaction meets target value and move on to the next job preventing unnecessary passes
Measures only when vibratory system is active
Provides indications of soil stiffness
CMV (Compaction Meter Value) is accelerometer-based
Measures deep: 1 to 1.2 m (3.3 to 4 ft), depending on materials
Mapping keeps track of pass counts and coverage while providing real time maps of compaction work

Applications and machine types

Suitable for granular applications
FOR SOIL APPLICATIONS For smooth drum compactors only. It is capable of measuring from 1 to 1.2 m (3.3 - 4 ft) deep depending on site conditions and is suitable for use on granular soils. Not recommended on cohesive soils.
FOR ASPHALT APPLICATIONS utilizes drum-mounted accelerometers to measure and record composite stiffness of the asphalt layer, base layer, and sub-base material.
