Abstract
An oscillation assembly for a paving machine includes an arcuate member for contacting a recently formed asphalt mat laid by a screed assembly of the paving machine. The arcuate member is adapted to oscillate about an axis extending generally horizontally and substantially perpendicular to a direction of travel of the paving machine. The oscillation assembly further includes a drive assembly for powering an oscillation of the arcuate member. The drive assembly includes a drive motor and a linkage coupling the drive motor to the arcuate member.
