MUNICH, Germany, Apr 9, 2025 – Leica Geosystems and Dynapac have announced the compatibility of auto-steering and screed edge control features on Dynapac asphalt pavers with the Leica iCON pave solution. This solution will be available on the Dynapac SD25 and XD25 Highway Paver series, a next-generation line of paving machines set to debut at Bauma.
This partnership aims to enhance the precision and efficiency of asphalt paving operations by combining Dynapac’s paving machinery with Leica Geosystems’ machine control technology. In addition, integrating auto-steering and edge control features will enable pavers to follow stringline design models with millimeter accuracy, eliminating the need for traditional strings-and-pins methods and reducing costs while improving productivity.
“Our collaboration with Leica Geosystems marks a significant milestone in advancing paving technology and, as a result, providing even more functionality to our customers,” said Soenke Demuth, head of global product management paving at Dynapac.
Auto-steering and screed edge control for a higher-quality surface
With the Leica iCON pave machine control system, operators benefit from automated guidance and precise screed width adjustments based on a digital stringing design. The system enhances site sustainability by optimizing material usage, minimizing waste, and ensuring accurate material estimation throughout paving. Moreover, it improves safety by eliminating physical hazards such as stringlines, pins, and other marking materials from the job site.
“As infrastructure projects continue to expand globally, meeting the high standards of modern construction requires even greater precision and efficiency in asphalt paving,” said Neil Williams, president of the machine control division at Leica Geosystems. “Manually steering a paver while ensuring the screed maintains its optimal width demands constant adjustments to adapt to varying site conditions and maintain consistency. By introducing automated steering and screed control, we alleviate this burden on operators and enhance their ability to deliver superior paving results with greater ease and reliability.”
