Automatic part-width section control via GPS-Switch
If the operator terminal facilitates Section Control, such as GPS-Switch part-width section control from AMAZONE, the part-width sections are activated completely automatically and in relation to the GPS position. Once a field has been created, and then in automatic mode, the driver can concentrate fully on the operation of the towing vehicle, 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, at night or at higher speeds
- Fewer overlaps and gaps
- Saving on input costs
- Less crop damage and less environmental pollution
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.
GPS-Switch basic
- Automatic part-width section control with up to 16 part-width sections
- Creation of a virtual headland
- HeadlandControl: Headland optimisation with optimised Section Control in the form of the spread fan with AMAZONE fertiliser spreaders
When using GPS-Switch, SwitchPoint enables 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.
Each fertiliser has different trajectory characteristics. This is why Section Control calculates the exact switching points for the optimum shape and position of the spread fan for each pass.
