Agricultural technology: Height adjustment of the field sprayer

Field sprayer booms can have a working width of up to 42 m. Several wms-340/RT ultrasonic sensors are mounted on these booms. The sensors measure the distance between the boom and the crop. During driving, the control unit uses the measured distance values to compensate for uneven ground or different plant heights. This allows pesticides or fertilizers to be distributed evenly across the field.

Ultrasonic sensor used: wms-340/RT
