LASER PILOT

Automatic steering control in grain crops reduces the driver's workload noticeably, especially when you're using large cutterbars and operating at high speeds or in bad visibility.

A maintenance-free sensor continuously transmits invisible light pulses and moves horizontally at an angle of 6°. The standing crop and the stubble reflect the light beam. A second sensor measures the travel time of the reflected light pulses and thereby determines the exact position of the edge between the cut and uncut crop. The machine is guided along the crop edge automatically and with a high degree of precision.
