BIG-SONIC-Ski

Proven accuracy for even surfaces in every project

Challenges for road construction projects

Every day, construction companies face certain challenges in asphalt paving that need to be mastered. Cost and time pressure, as well as quality requirements, are at the forefront. Machine controls from MOBA help to master these challenges by increasing performance and ensuring quality.

Installation Quality

Quality factors such as optimum smoothness and perfect compaction of asphalt layers are a decisive factor for long-lasting roads and low-noise traffic. This can only be achieved with precise measurement control system.

Installation Cost

Often asphalt paving is the decisive factor on how profitable a construction project is. The goal is to pave each asphalt layer with just the right amount of material while providing the best possible quality.

Installation Performance

During asphalting, you cannot measure the exact height and inclination without instruments. Manual measurement and readjustment is a time consuming and costly process. However, it leads to bad results if the measured values are wrong.

Big-Sonic-Ski

Reliable leveling with up to four ultrasonic sensors

The BIG-SKI combines up to four SONIC-SKI PLUS sensors to create a reliable long-distance reference line. By averaging multiple measurement points, the system effectively compensates for long-wave unevenness and delivers a stable paving quality. Its robust design and wear-free ultrasonic technology make it a dependable choice for a wide range of road construction projects.

THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THE BIG-SONIC-SKI

The BIG-SKI works by combining several SONIC-SKI PLUS sensors into one intelligent unit. By scanning multiple widely spaced points and averaging the results, the system creates a virtual reference line that smooths out long-wave irregularities. This proven technology ensures reliable paving results across a wide range of projects.

THE BEST-SELLING LEVELING SYSTEM IN ROAD CONSTRUCTION

The world-renowned MOBA-Matic is the best-selling leveling system in road construction. Its simple operation, exceptional quality, and absolute precision have ensured its strong market positioning. The technology, introduced in 1991, is now the leading leveling system in road construction and is installed as standard on asphalt pavers of all major machine manufacturers.

After a single set-up, the system immediately controls the screed thickness – fully automated. Combined with the appropriate CAN-based sensors, even the most complex construction project can be accomplished. In more than 45 years on the market, the MOBA control unit and sensors have been perfectly matched to each other to form a single unit. The right solution has been developed specifically for every application in asphalt paving. Benefit now from the world’s largest selection of sensors!

Features and benefits

Thanks to years of development and market experience, MOBA-matic and BIG-SONIC-SKI are compatible with the pavers of any machine manufacturer – regardless of type or age. Thanks to the CAN-based development of further hardware components with a focus on the modularity of the system, additional features can easily be added.

AUTOMATIC GRADE CONTROL

Set the altitude setpoint and switch on the automatic mode. The Big Sonic Ski measures the actual value with its 4 sensors and the MOBA-Matic regulates the screed to the desired set value fully automatically.

ERGONOMIC & FUNCTIONAL DESIGN

The 4-button design allows an incredibly intuitive and efficient operation of the MOBA-Matic II. The backlit keys also make night work possible. The unique housing design is also functional according to the motto "form follows function" and therefore allows a very good grip.

FLEXIBLE
APPLICATIONS

Thanks to its compatibility with the largest number of sensors available on the market, the MOBA-Matic II can be used on the paver for a wide variety of applications. The reference can be made by laser, string, non-contact or 3D.

MANUFACTURER-INDEPENDENT

As a manufacturer-independent Hang-On System, the MOBA-Matic II, together with the Big Ski, can be installed on any paver in the world, regardless of age. This also applies to the Cross-Control function, i.e. control of both screed sides via one MOBA-Matic II.

When every millimeter counts

For projects with the highest demands on surface quality – such as airports, high-speed highways, or F1 race tracks – the SUPER-SKI delivers unmatched smoothness. Its fast single-person setup and advanced sensor concept make it the solution for the most precise paving requirements.

GLOBAL DISTRIBUTION & LOCAL SERVICE

In addition to our headquarters in Germany, MOBA is represented by its subsidiaries in Europe, USA, South America, India, Asia and Australia, and by a worldwide dealer network in all key markets in the sectors it serves.
