2. Mobile Machines Application Fields
Movement Feedback
Automation of work processes often require information about vehicle kinematics (such as speed, wheel angle, accelerations) and measurement of distances to objects for guidance or other vehicle control tasks.

IR18V / IR12V

Inductive sensors can be used as reliable speed sensors, without the disadvantages of magnet speed sensors such as accretion of metal particles.

Wheel Angle (redundant)

Absolute magnetic encoder

A wheel angle sensor provides feedback of the actual wheel direction and allows for the control of the trajectory and steering direction of the vehicle.. Some applications require a redundant output due safety requirements.

Off-highway radar sensor

Automation of work process very often require to know distances to work features and implements for e.g. coupling purposes. Baumer radar sensors support these tasks with a range of products.

Row Guidance

Very often vehicles need to guided along features in the environment. A typical example are row cultures such as vineyards, orchards, or corn. The Baumer Multi-object Radar sensor supports system integrators with a versatile product.
Sprayer Boom Height Control

Sprayer Boom Height Control is one of the most important and mature automation features in agriculture. Automatically controlling the distance between sprayer nozzles and crop relieves the operator and allows for better equipment utilization and higher speed.

Baumer offers a readily available solution package for this task. At its core is the Baumer R600V Ground & Crop radar sensor. The R600V simultaneously measures ground and crop distance. The output of this sensor can be used for both boom height control and continuous determination of crop height.

To complete the package Baumer offers suitable angle sensors, contactless distance measurement sensors and dynamic inclination sensors.

Vehicles: Sprayer, Fertilizer Spreader

R600V

The Baumer Ground & Crop radar sensor is key to modern boom height control. Baumer radar signal processing delivers superior crop penetration and ground detection. The R600V allows for an easy design-in due to full industry compliance and its proven signal processing. The contact-less measurement is not prone to damage and reduces down-time.
Combine Header Height Control

Combine are highly specialized and automated machines. During harvesting season many machines run almost continuously. Automating the guidance of the header over the ground relieves the operator and allows for better equipment utilization and higher speed.

Baumer offers a readily available solution package for this task. At its core is the Baumer R600V Ground & Crop radar sensor. The R600V simultaneously measures ground and crop distance. The output of this sensor can be used for both reel control and cutter bar control.

To complete the package Baumer offers suitable angle sensors, and contactless distance measurement sensors.
