As a paver in the new VÖGElE Classic line, the SUPER 1603 comes with a very solid range of basic equipment. The most striking feature of this machine is its ErgoBasic operating concept. This system was developed on the basis of the tried-and-tested ErgoPlus 3 operating system and specially tailored to the needs of Classic Line machine users. As with ErgoPlus 3, the design of the paver operator's ErgoBasic console is so clear that all functions can be grasped quickly and operated securely. This is also true of Niveltronic Basic, the System for Automated Grade and Slope Control associated with ErgoBasic. It supports
simple and secure operation, contributing to excellent paving results.
All the other components of this wheeled paver, such as its drive, undercarriage, conveyors and augers, are identical to those used in Premium Line machines.
The SUPER 1603 is thus also driven by a powerful diesel engine and can reliably tackle all medium to larger paving jobs, delivering top VÖGELE quality across the board.
The AB 480 Extending Screed with tamper and vibrators delivers a high degree of precompaction. With its robust telescoping system, it can be extended hydraulically from 2.55 to 4.8m in a quick and easy operation. With fixed bolt-on extensions, the screed used with the SUPER 1603 can be extended to a maximum pave width of 6.3m.
The VÖGELE Classic Line focuses on the key functions and can hence offer outstanding value for money. This machine is the ideal candidate when classic paving tasks need to be delivered in top quality using tried-and-tested technology
- VÖGElE‘s modern drive concept is perfectly adapted to the large range of different uses of the multifunctional SUPER 1603.
- Delivering a powerful drive when maximum performance is called for, this Universal Class paver is exceedingly flexible in everyday operation.
- Low input, maximum output - all drive components operate with maximum efficiency, from the diesel engine through to the hydraulic system.
Three main components define the power unit of a SUPER 1603: its modern, liquid-cooled diesel engine, a splitter gearbox flanged directly to the engine and a large cooler assembly.
The driving force in this power pack from VÖGELE is its diesel engine. The four-cylinder engine delivers 116kW at 2,000rpm. Yet the fuel-saving ECO mode is sufficient for many applications. And even then, the SUPER 1603 still has a full 106kW at its disposal. Moreover, the machine generates even less noise when running at just 1,700rpm.
A large cooler assembly ensures that the power unit always delivers its full output. With innovative air routing, temperatures are continually maintained within the optimum range, significantly extending the service life of both the diesel engine and the hydraulic oil.
A further advantage is that the machine can operate without difficulty in all climate regions worldwide.
All hydraulic consumers are directly supplied with hydraulic oil via the splitter gearbox. Hydraulic pumps and valves are centrally located, making them optimally accessible for servicing. Even the powerful generator for screed heating is flanged directly onto the splitter gearbox, making it completely maintenance-free.
The large cooler assembly is made up of three parts. It ensures that engine coolant, charge air and hydraulic oil are maintained at the optimum temperature.
- Powerful diesel engine develops 116kW at just 2,000rpm.
- ECO mode for paver operation with 106kW at 1,700rpm is perfectly adequate for numerous applications. It cuts operating costs and allows superquiet operation.
- A powerful, air-cooled generator with direct drive ensures rapid, uniform heating of the screed.
With its high tractive power, the wheeled SUPER 1603 perfectly combines outstanding paving performance with maximum mobility when travelling. This is assured by powerful separate hydraulic drives directly integrated into the powered wheels. They ensure maximum traction
- Rapid transfer under its own power at up to 20km/h - a feat the SUPER 1603 is optimally equipped for. All paving functions are automatically deactivated when “Road Travel” mode is selected.
- Maximum power transmission thanks to separate, hydraulic drives provided for the rear wheels (rear wheels and one set of front wheels as an option).
- Optimum traction even on difficult terrain by activating Traction Assist.
- A small turning radius (outside) of just 3.5m allows easy and swift manœuvring in confined spaces. And the paver’s short overall length minimizes the need for manœuvring even on cramped job sites.
- Front wheels mounted on bogies. They provide for a continuous ground contact of the wheels also when working on an uneven base
Extreme manœuvrability thanks to Pivot Steer: the rear inside wheel is automatically slowed down hydraulically when Pivot Steer is activated. This minimizes the outside turning radius to not more than 3.5m for positioning manœuvres and paving
A continuous flow of mix is key to ensuring uninterrupted and high-quality paving. That is why we attach such importance to professional material management when designing our pavers. The large and sturdy material hopper holds 13t. Thanks to the low and wide hopper sides, feeding the paver with mix is a fast and easy process. The paver comes with a high-performance hydraulic system. The hydraulics provide an accurate drive for the material handling systems, thus ensuring an optimal head of mix in front of the screed at all times. Especially large oscillating push-rollers ensure convenient and shock-free docking of feed vehicles even on bends.
As with all vÖGElE pavers, supplying the SUPER 1603 with mix is a clean, safe and swift process.
- The large material hopper holding 13t is amply dimensioned so that a sufficient quantity of mix is stored at all times. There is no problem tiding over difficult situations such as paving under bridges, for instance.
- Easy feeding with mix thanks to low material hopper, wide hopper sides and sturdy rubber baffles fitted to the hopper front.
- Especially large oscillating push-rollers for convenient and shock-free docking of feed vehicles even on bends.
Thanks to the perfect spreading of mix, the SUPER 1603 provides for an optimal head of material in front of the screed in every paving situation. Powerful, separate hydraulic drives for conveyors and augers are installed achieving high laydown rates up to 600t/h
The augers of the SUPER 1603 are mechanically infinitely height-adjustable by up to 15cm. This enables them to be adapted to the desired layer thickness across the full pave width.
- Proportional control and continuous monitoring provided for conveyors and augers guarantee a constant head of mix in front of the screed in line with requirements.
- Large diameter of auger blades (400mm) for excellent spreading of mix when paving in large widths.
- An auger tunnel, easily variable in depth, provides for an optimal flow of mix when large quantities are being laid.
The ErgoBasic operating concept was developed on the basis of the proven ErgoPlus operating system which is installed in our Premium Line pavers, but was tailored specifically to the needs and requirements of Vögele Classic Line users.
The goal was to develop an operating system that an be operated just as quickly, accurately and intuitively as the ErgoPlus 3 system on the “Dash 3” machines.
This makes Vögele the only manufacturer to offer a standardized operating concept for all paver classes.
Everything at a glance: the functions are arranged in a clear, logical and practical layout that has clearly been inspired by the ErgoPlus operating console. The type of controls and the symbols used are all in line with those on an ErgoPlus console.
Given the limited number of functions, there is no need for a display.
The status of all settings is indicated as a percentage on LED strips immediately next to the relevant functions.
Additional LEDs indicate the set speeds of the augers and the compacting systems as well as the fill level of the diesel tank.
Function and status indicators
The function and status indicators mean that the operator always has full control over his machine, even without a display. he can, for instance, read the fill level of the fuel tank directly and identify whether there are any functional faults.
Choice of operating modes for the paver
All the main paving and machine functions can be controlled directly by individual push-buttons on the paver operator’s ErgoBasic console. The paver changes between operating modes at the push of a button in the following order: “Pave”, “Positioning”, “Job Site” and “neutral”. An LED indicates which mode is selected. On leaving ”Pave” mode, the memory function stores all the last settings, which means that the paving parameters last used are retrieved immediately after repositioning the machine on the job site, for instance.
Speed of the augers
In automatic mode, the maximum speed of the augers can be adapted to the pave width separately for the left and right using the plus and minus keys. The set value is displayed as a percentage on the LED strip.
Safe operation during the night
The paver operator‘s ErgoBasic console features glarefree backlighting so that the paver operator can also work safely on night-time jobs.
Compacting effort
The speed of the compacting systems can be set directly on the paver operator's ErgoBasic console. The LED strips from 0 to 100% indicate the speed settings for the tamper and vibrators, enabling them to be
adjusted immediately if required.
Steering at a pre-set angle
The machine is steered by means of an easy-grip rotary controller which enables the driver to manœuvre the machine easily and precisely even in the tightest spots. For long bends with a constant radius, the desired steering angle can be preselected using arrow keys. The paver then automatically follows the set path until the function is deactivated, allowing the driver to monitor the paving process undisturbed.
No-load function
The no-load function is provided for the warm-up or cleaning of conveyors, augers and tamper.
Safe operation during the night
The paver operator's ErgoBasic console features glarefree backlighting so that the paver operator can also work safely on night-time jobs.
The safe and easy handling of all screed functions s a key factor in high-quality pavement construction. That’s why an ErgoBasic remote control unit for the screed was developed specifically for the new Classic
Line pavers.
Its keypad is laid out logically according to the functional processes. Designed for robustness, it is well able to withstand tough job-site conditions.
Operation is easy to understand and can be learned intuitively in a very short space of time, not least because the symbols used in the proven ErgoPlus operating system are found here, too.
The ErgoBasic remote control unit for the screed allows all paving-related functions to be set quickly and easily. This includes direct access to the material handling systems and the sonic sensors for the augers.
All the main paving functions can be controlled via the two handy screed remote control units. Simple, language-neutral symbols allow the machine to be operated intuitively.
1 // Conveyor, automatic/manual
2 // Horn
3 // Auger, automatic/manual/ reverse
4 // Screed floating on/off
5 // Screed width control, one side
6 // Adjustment of screed tow point ram
Vögele have also developed a System for Automated Grade and Slope Control to match the ErgoBasic operating concept: the Niveltronic Basic. It is completely integrated into the machine control system and therefore perfectly adapted to the respective paver model. Another outstanding aspect of Niveltronic Basic is its particularly simple and intuitive handling, a feature which makes it easy even for less experienced operators to learn their way around the system. This creates ideal conditions for the Classic Line pavers to work true to line and level on any base.
Each side of the screed is operated by a separate compact and exceedingly robust Niveltronic Basic remote control unit.
A variety of sensor types is available for Niveltronic Basic, in keeping with the machine‘s large and varied range of uses. The selection extends from mechanical sensors to non-contacting sonic sensors. The System for Automated Grade and Slope Control can simultaneously be connected to two grade sensors and one slope sensor. The type of sensor used is detected automatically.
The kind of reference – ground, tensioned wire or transverse slope – can be easily set on the remote control unit.
The remote control units cover all the functions required for high-precision grade and slope control. Clear symbols support intuitive machine operation.
1 // deviation from specified values
2 // Niveltronic Basic on/off
3 // Setting: Sensor sensitivity
4 // Selecting: kind of reference (ground, tensioned wire, transverse slope)
5 // Quick set-up
6 // Setting: Specified value
7 // Sensor calibration
1. The comfortable paver operator’s platform gives an unobstructed view of all crucial areas on the paver such as material hopper, steering guide or screed. The paver operator is thus ideally positioned to monitor the material feeding process right from his seat.
2. Working comfortably: The operating console can be shifted across the entire working width so that operators can work comfortably and in an ergonomic position on either side of the machine.
3. A place for everything and everything in its place The paver operator’s platform is streamlined and well organized, offering the paver operator a professional workplace. The paver operator’s console can be protected by a shatter-proof cover to prevent wilful damage.
