HARVESTING THE BENEFITS of electromechanical actuators

摘要

When developing a new harvesting machine that would help get product to market faster and more efficiently, Tribine selected smart electromechanical actuators from Thomson Industries. Although developments over the years have enabled agricultural harvesters to reap more field crops, their contribution to farm profitability has been constrained by limitations on their ability to get harvested product to market efficiently. With traditional combine harvesters, for example, product is unloaded from onboard storage bins into grain carts pulled by tractors running alongside. When full (around 800 bushels), the grain cart is hauled off the field to a semi-truck, before being delivered to market.
