Drop Height Monitoring:
In agriculture, managing the drop height of harvested products is crucial to avoid damage. The mic-130/IU/M ultrasonic sensor measures the distance between the conveyor belt and stacked potatoes. By ensuring that the potatoes are stored with minimal drop height, this sensor helps prevent damage during storage.
Key Features of mic-130/IU/M Ultrasonic Sensor:
- Measuring Range: 200 - 2,000 mm
- Housing: M30 housing with M12 circular connector in robust metal design
- Output Stage: Analogue output 4-20 mA and 0-10 V
- Special Feature: Cable outlet upon request
- Area of Application: Harsh agricultural environments
This solution enhances the control system of potato harvesters, ensuring that the elevator adjusts according to the distance values, effectively reducing potential losses.
Height Adjustment of the Field Sprayer:
Field sprayers are essential for applying pesticides and fertilizers efficiently. With booms that can span up to 42 meters, maintaining consistent spray height is crucial for even distribution. The WMS-340/RT ultrasonic sensors are mounted on the booms of field sprayers to measure the distance between the boom and the crop, automatically adjusting for uneven terrain or varying plant heights.
Key Features of wms-340/RT Ultrasonic Sensor:
- Measuring Range: 350 - 5,000 mm
- Housing: M30 housing with M12 round connector in robust metal design
- Mode of Operation: Sensor for evaluation units
- Special Feature: Cable outlet and SEAL connector upon request
- Area of Application: Harsh agricultural environments
By using these sensors, field sprayers can distribute pesticides or fertilizers uniformly, ensuring that crops receive consistent treatment, regardless of field conditions.
Fill Level Control in the Loading Bunker:
Managing the fill level in the loading bunker of harvesting machines, such as beet harvesters, is essential to avoid overfilling and operational disruptions. The lcs+340/IU ultrasonic sensor continuously measures the fill level, ensuring that the bunker doesn't reach its capacity and cause an interruption in the harvest.
Key Features of lcs+340/IU Ultrasonic Sensor:
- Measuring Range: 350 - 5,000 mm
- Housing: Compact cubic housing
- Output Stage: Analogue output 4-20 mA and 0-10 V
- Area of Application: Harsh agricultural environments
By accurately monitoring the fill level, this sensor plays a vital role in maintaining smooth harvesting operations and preventing costly interruptions.
Plough Guidance:
Plough guidance systems are a vital aspect of modern farming, ensuring that ploughs follow precise paths to optimize land cultivation. The mic-130/IU/M ultrasonic sensor is used to provide control signals for automatically steering ploughs, improving both precision and efficiency in the field.
Key Features of the mic-130/IU/M Ultrasonic Sensor:
- Measuring Range: 200 - 2,000 mm
- Housing: M30 housing with M12 circular connector in robust metal design
- Output Stage: Analogue output 4-20 mA and 0-10 V
- Special Feature: Cable outlet and SEAL connector upon request
- Area of Application: Harsh agricultural environments
By ensuring the plough moves along an optimal path, this sensor reduces the risk of errors and increases operational efficiency.
Grape Harvester Guidance:
When harvesting delicate crops like grapes, maintaining an even path is essential to prevent damage. The wms-130/RT ultrasonic sensors are used to measure the lateral distance between the grape harvester and the vines, adjusting the harvester’s track to ensure it moves evenly between the vines during the harvest.
Key Features of wms-130/RT Ultrasonic Sensor:
- Measuring Range: 200 - 2,000 mm
- Housing: M30 housing with M12 round connector in robust metal design
- Mode of Operation: Sensor for evaluation units
- Special Feature: Cable outlet upon request, stainless steel version
- Advantage: Resistant to dust and dirt
This sensor is an invaluable tool in ensuring that grape harvesters operate with maximum precision, protecting the crop while optimizing the harvesting process.
