Variohm EuroSensor has provided its Novotechnik RFC series 'touchless' two-part sensor for the Big Bale Transtacker. The British manufactured Big Bale Transtacker is an agricultural machine that provides a solution for collecting and stacking straw bales in the field as well as transporting bales to and from storage locations on the farm. The tractor towed machine collects and stacks its payload continuously as it is driven through the field with the operator controlling the entire machine from the tractor cab. The Transtacker's efficiency is largely due to both the 'auto pick up' and the 'auto tie' functions that allow the machine to work seamlessly with minimal operator input. These functions work through a series of rotary sensors logging the position of the machine's components and then relaying the data back to the ECU, whereby the next sequence of events is actuated.
