Product Launch Announcement
Road construction professionals and equipment procurement managers now have access to a breakthrough in automatic grade control. APOLLO has officially released its premium sensor kit, part number 70618034, engineered specifically for BOMAG asphalt pavers. This outdoor rainproof solution is ready for immediate delivery with a minimum order quantity of just one set, making it equally accessible to large contractors and smaller paving fleets.
The new sensor kit forms the core of an advanced leveling system that continuously monitors screed position and adjusts elevation in real time. Designed to withstand rain, dust, vibration, and temperature swings, the sealed electronic package ensures uninterrupted performance across extended shifts. For decision-makers evaluating aftermarket paver components, the APOLLO 70618034 represents a high-quality, immediately available alternative that maintains OEM specification standards while offering competitive procurement advantages.
Every element of the APOLLO sensor kit reflects field-focused engineering. The combination of plastic, steel, and special metals creates a lightweight yet durable assembly resistant to corrosion and impact. The rainproof housing protects internal pendulum sensors and circuit boards from moisture ingress, a critical requirement when pavers operate through early-morning dew, sudden showers, or high-humidity conditions. Because the sensor mounts directly onto the paver’s electronic system, it integrates with existing grade control architecture without requiring additional interface modules.
Procurement specialists and maintenance planners will appreciate that the kit includes not just the sensor head but also durable mounting hardware, protected wiring harnesses, and clearly labeled connectors. The standardized mounting points align with BOMAG paver frames, reducing installation time and minimizing the risk of wiring errors. This plug-and-play philosophy lowers labor costs and gets equipment back on the job faster after scheduled maintenance.
What sets the 70618034 apart is its pendulum-based measurement stability. While conventional sensors may drift under high-frequency vibration or electromagnetic interference from nearby equipment, APOLLO’s design incorporates enhanced damping and signal shielding. The result is a consistent, low-latency data stream that enables the paver’s control system to predict and correct screed deviations before they translate into mat defects. Engineers responsible for ride quality and density specifications will find that the sensor set helps achieve tighter tolerances across entire project lengths.
The system automatically compensates for grade and slope variations, supporting both longitudinal leveling and cross-slope control. This dual capability is crucial when transitioning through super-elevated curves, intersections, or variable-depth overlay applications. By maintaining the exact screed angle and height, the APOLLO kit reduces the need for manual intervention and the associated risk of operator-induced inconsistencies.
APOLLO ships the 70618034 sensor kit as 100% new stock, never refurbished or reconditioned, which meets the strict procurement requirements of government highway contracts and airport authorities. The minimum order quantity of one set allows engineering teams to test the system on a single paver before committing to fleet-wide deployment. Bulk pricing structures are available for contractors managing multiple BOMAG machines, and APOLLO’s customer support team provides technical documentation to assist with integration into existing leveling systems.
The sensor kit’s compatibility extends beyond asphalt pavers to milling machines and road rollers, giving equipment managers flexibility in spare parts consolidation. Whether the application involves recycled asphalt overlay, deep-lift placement, or fine-grading operations, the same sensor technology delivers consistent reference data. This cross-platform usability simplifies inventory for mixed fleets and reduces the total cost of ownership.
Early adopters report noticeable improvements in mat smoothness and reduced incidence of transverse ripples. One site engineer noted that the APOLLO sensor’s response time allowed the direct tow paver to maintain profile even when the material head at the screed fluctuated, which previously required frequent operator adjustments. Such operational gains translate directly into lower ride-quality penalties and fewer corrective milling passes.
For BOMAG paver owners seeking a robust, rainproof, and precision-driven automatic control solution, the APOLLO 70618034 sensor kit offers a technically sound and commercially sensible upgrade. Its combination of easy installation, proven pendulum technology, and weatherproof reliability makes it a strategic component for paving fleets targeting zero-defect surface quality.
Is the APOLLO 70618034 sensor kit compatible with all BOMAG paver models?
The sensor set is designed for a wide range of BOMAG asphalt pavers that use electronic leveling systems. Mounting points and connectors are standardized, but we recommend verifying your paver’s model year and control system version with our technical team before ordering to ensure seamless integration.
What does the “rainproof" designation actually cover?
The sensor housing and wiring harnesses are sealed to resist water spray, rain, and high humidity commonly encountered during outdoor paving. It is not rated for submersion, but extensive field testing confirms consistent operation during sudden showers and in high-moisture environments.
Can I order a single sensor without the full kit?
The 70618034 is supplied as a complete sensor kit that includes the sensor, mounting hardware, and wiring harnesses. This package approach ensures all components are matched for optimal performance and simplifies procurement by providing everything needed for installation in a single order.
How does this sensor improve mat smoothness compared to standard grade control?
APOLLO’s pendulum sensor incorporates advanced damping and improved signal stability, which reduces drift and electromagnetic interference. Faster, more accurate grade corrections allow the screed to stay within tighter tolerances, minimizing long-wave undulations and short-scale roughness.
What is the typical delivery time for the APOLLO 70618034?
Because the product is maintained as 100% new stock, delivery times are generally short. Specific lead times depend on destination and order volume, and our support team can confirm availability and shipping options once we receive your procurement inquiry.
