A method for operating a picking arrangement with a spacing distance-changeable picking plates

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for operating a picking device (1) with pairs of a spacing distance-changeable stripping plates (5, 6), between which a picking gap (7) is formed, and provided with means for drawing in of crop material stand (8), which in the picking gap (7), so that ears (9) by means of the stripping plates (5, 6) of the crop material stand (8), which are separated, wherein the diameter of the stalks (8) before entry into the picking gap (7) by means of a prior to the picking gap (7) arranged sensor device (20) is determined, and in that a function of the predetermined diameter value the picking gap width is set.
