VÖGELE Get the Job Done Accurate to the Millimetre

NAVITRONIC® Plus, the new VÖGELE system for 3D machine control, stood the test in practice.

On the contract for new construction of the L546 highroad by-passing the village of St. Leon-Rot, Germany, NAVITRONIC® Plus, the new VÖGELE system for 3D machine control, stood the test summa cum laude.
