Rugged, reliable, and ready for the demands of the field!
Precision farming with POSITAL sensors, providing robust solutions for seamless integration into various agricultural applications.
High Precision IXARC Rotary Encoders
Motion control applications – ranging from factory automation to agricultural machines – require accurate and real-time information about the location of mechanical components. The IXARC line of rotary encoders provide accurate and reliable measurement of speed variations for joints, transmission shafts, pulleys, etc. a range of electronic connections, from simple analog connections or incremental outputs to sophisticated fieldbus and industrial Ethernet interfaces are available.
The accurate measurement of tilt or inclination is very important for motion control and safety systems. Relying on 3D MEMS technology and gravity for their measurement, these sensors have no exposed moving parts, resulting in easy installation and a high level of environmental protection.
Mobile Planter and Seeder
POSITALl’s line of absolute and incremental encoders have multiple applications for agricultural machines. Specifically, angle confirmation and velocity are two critical data points necessary in Agri-applications.
POSITAL encoders provide high resolution position feedback to ensure autonomous and semi-autonomous harvesting. Furthermore, the hollow shaft and anti-rotation clamp spring of the encoders allows for increased speed and reliability of the machines. These features are useful for measuring speed in planters and seeders. Other applications include sprayers that have controllers with Field-IQ variable rate, for pre-selection of modes and areas of agricultural machines or implementations.
Planter and Sprayer Boom Height Control
To improve productivity, precision and safety, inclinometers are mounted on the boom, dipper arm, rotating platform, and bucket to monitor the position during the operation. They are well protected in a robust metal housing with IP69K protection class, can withstand high shock and vibration and can be operated over a very wide temperature range.
TILTIX Inclinometers
Conventional static inclinometers provide a higher accuracy level while dynamic inclinometers provide a stabilized output with slightly lower accuracy under very dynamic operational conditions. A combination of the two can be used to harness the advantages of both types.
