Mechanical weeder IC-WEEDER

mounted

This is how your IC-Weeder for lettuce could look like. It covers 5 rows with a row distance of 28 cm. Underneath the cover are 3 cameras mounted for the single plant recognition. The field of vision is illuminated with LED lights. A compressor provides the pneumatic pressure to move sickle-shaped knifes actively intra-row, so between the plants in one row. The inter-and intra-row tools are mounted on an parallelogram-element to follow the contour easily. The support wheels guarantees the correct working depth of the knifes, and via the side shift-frame the machine is steered precisely between the rows. Find out all your options to customize your IC-Weeder for your needs: -Row width minimum 25 cm -Plant distance minimum 15 cm -Working width up to 6 m -Driving speed up to 3 km/h -Weeding up to 2 cm close to the crop -Multiple cameras covering 75 cm field of vision each -Detection of green hues and the RGB-colour spectrum -Remote service for direct suppor COMPONENTS CAMERA The cameras are covered to avoid shades through natural sunlight. Instead, the field of vision is illuminated with LED-lights, for high quality camera images. The camera makes high resolution pictures in green hues or the RGB-colour spectrum, every camera covers a field of vision of 75 cm. The images are transferred to the job computer and visualized on the terminal. JOB COMPUTER The job computer processes the camera-images to precise steering signals. The crop position is calculated on base of the camera image, the crop size and the expected plant position.
