Apollo 29637 Road Milling Parts W130H W100 Depth Indicator Sensor 106710 Milling Meter 

The Apollo Depth Indicator Sensor is a critical precision component engineered for the demanding environment of cold planing and road milling operations. This robust sensor plays a pivotal role in ensuring accurate depth control, acting as the primary reference point for the milling drum's cutting height. Its function is fundamental to achieving the exact specified pavement removal depth required for projects ranging from surface levelling to full-depth reconstruction.

Mounted on the machine's reference system, typically on a ski or shoe, the sensor continuously monitors the distance to the pavement surface or a benchmark grade. This real-time data is fed directly into the machine's control system, allowing for automatic, instantaneous adjustments to maintain a consistent milling depth across the entire work area. This precise control is crucial for creating a uniform subgrade, essential for the subsequent paving of new asphalt layers, and for optimizing the yield of reclaimed milled material.

Built to endure the extreme conditions of milling, the sensor features a heavy-duty housing that protects its internal electronics from pervasive dust, debris, constant vibration, and impacts from loose material. Its reliable performance directly translates to enhanced job site efficiency by minimizing manual overrides, reducing rework, and ensuring strict compliance with engineering plans. For operators, this means greater confidence in their work, improved productivity, and a superior, predictable milling finish that sets the stage for a perfect paving mat.
