Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is an anti-slab height control system and related method for regulating the elevational position of an anti-slab mounted to a cold planer configured for milling a roadway. The cold planer includes a milling drum. The system comprises an anti-slab, a position sensor, a controller and an actuator. The controller is configured to determine an actuator adjustment based on a predetermined height, position data and a cutting depth of the milling drum. The position data is indicative of a current elevational position of the anti-slab. The actuator is configured to move the anti-slab based on the actuator adjustment from the current elevational position to a first elevational position, wherein the bottom side of the anti-slab is disposed at the predetermined height above the roadway when the anti-slab is in the first elevational position.
