Estimating the term…
A measuring device for a paving machine comprises a height sensor and a pivot module mounted to be pivotable on the height sensor about a pivot axis and having a feeling device with at least two feeler levers for feeling a cable stretched along a paving section of the paving machine as a height reference. The at least two feeler levers are configured such that one of the at least two feeler levers is in a first orientation, in which it is positioned resting on the cable, at least always when the another of the at least two feeler levers is pressed, by way of a support that is used to tension the cable, to a second orientation in which it is spaced from the cable.
A measuring device for a paving machine, comprising a height sensor as well as a pivot module which is mounted on the height sensor to be pivotable about a pivot axis and which comprises a feeling device comprising two feeler levers for feeling a cable tensioned as a height reference along a paving section of the paving machine, wherein the two feeler levers are configured such that one of the two feeler levers is in a first orientation, in which it is positioned resting on the cable, at least always when the other of the two feeler levers is pressed, by way of a support that is used to tension the cable, into a second orientation, in which it is spaced from the cable.
A method for continuously feeling a cable stretched along a paving section of a paving machine as a height reference using a measuring device on which a feeling device with at least two feeler levers for feeling the cable is employed, wherein one of the at least two feeler levers is in a first orientation in which it rests on the cable whereas another of the at least two feeler levers is pushed away from the cable by a support that tensions the cable to a second orientation in which it is spaced from the cable.
