US 2019/0376242 A1 · SCREED CONTROL SYSTEM

Abstract

A screed control system for a screed system is provided. The screed control system includes a controller communicably coupled to a position sensor and at least one of a screed pressure assist system, an extendable screed height system, and a tamper system. The controller is configured to receive a signal indicative of a position of an at least one extendable screed with respect to a main screed. The controller is also configured to determine a change in the position of the at least one extendable screed with respect to the main screed. The controller is further configured to control at least one of the screed pressure assist system, the extendable screed height system, and the tamper system based, at least in part, on the determination.
