Automatic GPS-Switch part-area shut-off via Section Control
If the operating terminal features Section Control, such as, for example, GPS-Switch part-width section control from AMAZONE, the switching of the part-width sections can be carried out completely automatically and in relation to the GPS position. Once a field has been created, the driver can concentrate fully on operating the vehicle in automatic mode, since the part-width sections are switched automatically in wedge shaped fields and on headlands.
Advantages of the automatic part-width section control:
- Stress relief on the driver
- Increase in precision especially at night or at higher speeds
- Fewer overlaps and gaps
- Saving on input costs
- Less crop damage and less environmental pollution
Each fertiliser has different trajectory characteristics. This is why Section Control calculates the exact switching points for the optimum position of the spread fan on each pass.
1) Overlap zones
2) 8 part-width sections
3) ZA-V Tronic
4) 16 part-width sections
5) ZA-V Profis Hydro
6) Urea
7) CAN
GPS-Switch
With GPS-Switch, AMAZONE offers GPS-based, fully automatic, part-width section control for all AMAZONE operator terminals and ISOBUS-compatible fertiliser spreaders, crop protection sprayers or seed drills.
When utilising GPS-Switch, SwitchPoint means the adjustment of the switch on and switch off points depending on fertiliser type and working width. Both values can be taken from the spreading chart and entered into the relevant operator terminal.
1) SwitchPoint off (switch-off time)
2) Headland tramline
3) Tramline centre
4) SwitchPoint on (switch-on time)
