Roadtec RX-505 Cold Planer

Overview

Power and solid construction make the RX-505 ideal for high-productivity milling.

The RX-505 offers enhanced features and is built for easy maintenance and superior operator comfort and safety. The cold planer cuts up to 13” (330 mm) deep and includes a 60° front load-out conveyor swing. The RX-505 incorporates high-function conveyors as well as automated controls for rpm, water, elevation, load, and traction.

Applications

Asphalt Milling

Asphalt milling, also known as cold planing, is the removal of top layers of an asphalt surface to provide an improved surface for repaving. It is a cost-effective and sustainable process that can be repeated as needed.

- Storage capacity of grade control sensors, cables and HMI panels
ACE Grade Control
- Automated Control of Elevation® (ACE) automates machine elevation through grade and slope sensors
- Operator and ground crew can easily adjust grade and slope parameters in real time
- Depth and slope are continuously displayed
- Can be coupled with Auto-Cut™, which automates machine’s rear elevation as it enters each cut
Variety of Cutter Drums
- Specialty cutter drum designs, from wide spaced excavating patterns to fine spaced micro milling patterns
- Double-hit drums improve production without sacrificing quality of cut
- Multiple tooling options available
- All drums are designed and manufactured using three-dimensional solid modeling and highly accurate robotic welding
