Consistent distance between boom and crop
AutoLift – the comfortable automatic headland system
AutoLift automatic boom lift (standard equipment) lifts the boom to the pre-selected height every time the machine is switched off. It lowers back down again to the target height when the sprayer sections are switched on. This reduces the risk of damage to the boom while turning on the headland.
DistanceControl or ContourControl? Decide for yourself!
The AutoLift automatic headland system and the DistanceControl and ContourControl automatic boom guidance systems offered by AMAZONE provide the right solution for every need. Just utilising the standard AutoLift already provides convenient assistance. The fully automated DistanceControl boom guidance leaves the boom control almost completely in the hands of the machine.
The innovative ContourControl boom control is AMAZONE’s high-end solution, ideal for customers with difficult terrain conditions. In addition to fully automated height guidance, ContourControl also offers active boom tip swing compensation for the boom. ContourControl satisfies the demand for higher accuracy, even at faster forward speeds.
DistanceControl with 2 sensors or DistanceControl plus with 4 sensors
AMAZONE offers for Super-L booms either DistanceControl fully automated boom control with 2 sensors or Distance-Control plus with 4 sensors. If the crop height varies greatly, or there are areas with partially lodged corn, the boom could dip into the crop if equipped with only 2 sensors. In this case equipping the boom with four sensors will prevent this. The sensors are electrically connected in parallel and so it is always the sensor that is closest to the target surface that is sensing.
Benefits of the DistanceControl boom guidance
- Fully automatic boom guidance including boom height, tilt adjustment and boom lifting on the headland
- Automated bilateral boom angling (in combination with Flex-fold 2)
1. Working height
2. Headland height
3. Ultra-sound sensors
4. Angle sensors
5. Ultra-sound sensors
- DistanceControl plus
- The driver is able to concentrate on correctly applying the plant protection agent, whilst the computer optimises the boom guidance!
- Automatic boom lowering with GPS-Switch
- With GPS-Switch, boom lowering begins even before entering the area to be treated. This means that the boom is already at the correct working height when the nozzles come on. The only requirement for this function is a field boundary saved in the GPS-Switch display in the AMAZONE ISOBUS terminal.
