¾ respective machine. Introduction Cams AutoForce is a system for the automatic coulter pressure adjustment on the Maestro. A cam with a sensor is attached to the axle of the depth guide wheel. The sensor determines the force acting from the ground on the depth guide wheel. -
Page 7: Functional Principle
Functional principle Forces on the drill unit Forces on the drill unit hydraulic coulter pressure force of the drill unit’s weight force between soil and depth guide wheel (target value) Force between soil and coulter discs The target value for the control of the coulter pressure is the force between the soil and the depth guide wheel (C). - Page 8 For greater clarity, the presentation of the weight force and the force between soil and depth guide wheel is omitted on the following illustrations. Maestro without AutoForce Sowing on soft, moist or light soil Sowing on hard soil, clod-type soil or rocky soil Placement depth H is maintained.
