The Apollo 74015 Longitudinal Slope Gauge is a precision-engineered instrument designed to deliver accurate slope measurement for asphalt pavers and milling machines. As a critical component in modern road construction, this slope sensor ensures consistent grade control, helping operators maintain the desired longitudinal slope for smooth, high-quality pavement surfaces.

Built to withstand the demanding conditions of construction sites, the SP15 slope sensor features a rugged design that resists vibration, dust, and moisture. Its durable construction ensures reliable performance even in harsh environments, making it suitable for continuous use in both paving and milling operations. The sensor’s robust housing protects internal components from mechanical stress and environmental factors, ensuring long-term durability with minimal maintenance requirements.

Installation is straightforward, with a design that integrates seamlessly into existing paver and milling machine control systems. The sensor connects easily to the machine’s electronics, providing real-time slope data that allows for automatic adjustments during operation. This plug-and-play functionality minimizes setup time and reduces the need for manual calibration, keeping projects on schedule with minimal downtime.

The Apollo 74015 excels in providing precise slope measurements, enabling operators to achieve uniform pavement thickness and proper drainage gradients. Its high sensitivity ensures accurate feedback, allowing the paver or milling machine to make immediate corrections and maintain the desired grade. This level of precision is particularly valuable in highway construction, airport runways, and urban road projects where strict slope specifications must be met.

For paving crews, the benefits of this slope sensor are clear. By automating grade control, it reduces the reliance on manual adjustments, allowing operators to focus on overall machine performance rather than constant monitoring. The result is a more efficient paving process with fewer errors, less material waste, and a smoother finished surface. In milling applications, the sensor helps maintain consistent cutting depth, ensuring uniform removal of old pavement layers for optimal surface preparation.

Maintenance is minimal, thanks to the sensor’s rugged design and sealed components. Routine checks typically involve cleaning the sensor surface and verifying secure electrical connections. The long service life and reliability of the SP15 sensor make it a cost-effective solution for contractors looking to maximize equipment uptime and reduce replacement costs.

Compatibility with various asphalt pavers and milling machines adds to the sensor’s versatility. Whether used in large highway projects or smaller municipal roadwork, the Apollo 74015 delivers consistent performance across different machine models and operating conditions. Its ability to function reliably in both hot and cold environments further enhances its suitability for year-round construction projects.

For contractors, the Apollo 74015 Longitudinal Slope Gauge represents a smart investment in paving and milling efficiency. Its precision measurements contribute to better-quality pavement, reduced rework, and improved project timelines. The sensor’s durability ensures it can handle the rigors of daily use, while its ease of installation and low maintenance requirements make it a practical choice for busy construction teams.
