Garford Farm Machinery’s latest version of their vision guidance system, the ‘Robocrop 4-quick touch,’ which will be available for orders placed this summer, features several enhancements.
The user interface now features an easy to use compact touch screen with instantly recognisable symbols, replacing the previous text appearance.
Robocrop 4 also features Gigabit Ethernet cameras which deliver considerably higher data rates, and can operate in a wider range of lighting conditions.
This results in a system which can now work with up to 6 cameras and 6 precision guided sections per machine, allowing large machines like the new Robocrop Eliminator trailed range, to be operated with great accuracy over the full width even when following severe soil contours.
Garford say that spot performance of over 20ha per hour is now possible, and the increased guidance accuracy can now be employed on conventionally spaced cereals of 125mm as well as more traditional row crop spacings.
