11.5 Folding boom control
11.5.1 Distance control
For slightly cropped requirements the fully-automatic
boom control "Distance Control" from Müller-Elektronik
has been found most beneficial. An automatic height
and inclination control adapts the boom to the crop.
(1) Ultrasound sensors
11.5.2 BoomControl Pro
Further development of the automatic folding boom
guidance to maintain the exact, lowest possible working
height, even when driving with high speed and in highly
cropped terrain. This creates the prerequisite for mini-
mum drifting.
• Active adaptation of the boom via the height guid-
ance of the middle section
• Independent bending of the two folding boom arms
(triggering through 4 sensors, distributed over the
entire folding boom)
When the spray boom is switched off at the
headland, the spray boom is automatically
raised by a previously defined value. When
switched back on, the boom will return to
its calibrated height.
