Lykketronic steering control for self propelled Sprayers: 4-wheel steer, crab mode, spray dependency mode. Including rear axle control relative to the drawbar potentiometer input axle for trailed Sprayers. All features can be developed to suit OEM requirements

 

OEM Customisation

Influence on software development to suit your application

Modular system design

Hardware can be specific steering control ECUs or handled in an ECU that supports other machine features.

Integration & installation

Integrate to existing steering hydraulic valves & sensor inputs on the machine and be able to install, setup and calibrate easily.

In-house Software & Hardware production

As all software and hardware is produced in house at Lykketronic, adaptions can be made to suit customer requirements. For example if the customer has a preference on a different type of sensor or software features specific to their machines.
