Lykketronic in house boom levelling for Crop Sprayers is available to suit fixed boom levelling or variable geometry booms. Hardware & software developed completely in house focusing on modular architecture allowing system updates in the future. The modular system architecture allows ease of integration by the OEM to suit their requirements.

OEM Customisation

Influence on software development to suit your application- Machine type, boom widths, special features or functions

Modular system design

Allowing future upgrades - The fix geometry boom levelling can be upgraded to variable geometry at a later stage.

Integration & installation

Integrate existing standard hydraulic valves on the machine and install, setup and calibrate easily.

In-house ECU production

As the ECUs are produced in house inputs can also be adapted to suit customer requirements for example if the customer has a preference on a different type of sensor input or hydraulic valve to be used. 

Features

  • Auto calibration function to handle PWM outputs & differing hydraulic valves*
  • Mode selection- Configuration settings can be set via crop type and saved for ease of activation by the operator
  • Inputs and outputs for fixed Boom levelling
  • Extra VG Boom leveller ECU adds inputs and outputs for Variable Geometry
  • Headland mode to lift boom or wing tips when master spray valve is off
  • Boom levelling only active when boom is spraying
  • Configurable scan time to avoid boom dropping on sparse cropping areas

System Architecture

  • Custom harness design to suit machine installation
  • Multiple ultrasonic sensors suiting various boom configurations
  • In depth test & diagnostics provides detailed information on ECU status, software versions, input/outputs & sensor readings
  • Modular architecture allows end customer to upgrade the system in the future by adding further components
  • Inputs: Switched inputs or Hydraulic solenoid outputs
  • Outputs: Hydraulic solenoid outputs (Proportional and digital)
  • Sensor inputs: Ultrasonic sensors, Tilt sensors & Incline cylinder Potentiometers

Fixed Boom levelling

Fixed boom levelling controls a “Fixed Boom” using Height and Tilt outputs only to maintain the boom an equal distance from the target at the tips.

Variable geometry Boom levelling

Controls a “Variable Geometry Boom” using Height, Tilt and Independent Inclines to maintain the boom at a consistent height from the Target across its width at measured the points.

User Interface

User Interface:

  • Available on Lykketronic Flex monitor or Lykketronic PC or integrated ISO VT Screen
  • Sensor readouts & boom position graphic visualisation on Lykketronic PC
  • Advance technician menu for further system settings
  • Lykketronic boom levelling focuses on a multi-ECU setup which is ideal for the best possible installation on most machines due to electrical inputs/outputs & hydraulic valve positioning.
