Introduction

The Apollo Sonic Grade Sensor (Part Number: 2331721) is a precision-engineered component designed for the Asphalt Paver S1800-3, ensuring accurate grade and slope control during paving operations. This sensor plays a crucial role in maintaining smooth, level asphalt surfaces by providing real-time feedback to the paver’s control system.

Built for durability and reliability, the Apollo Sonic Grade Sensor is widely used in road construction and asphalt paving projects where consistent grade accuracy is essential. Its advanced sonic technology allows for non-contact measurement, reducing wear and improving performance in demanding job site conditions.
