ULTRA GUIDANCE PSR
Complete system to steer tractors and other self propelled machines automatically
independent from any manufacturer's brand.
Ultra Guidance PSR is an automatic steering system with
direct access to the steering hydraulic of the implement.
Brand new is, that the system can also be installed as a steering assistant.
In this case an electric motor attached to the steering wheel takes over the '
steering of vehicle. An upset from an assistant to a fully automatic steering
system is possible at any time.
It is a whole year solution, because it fits for all applications within the
entire vegetation period.
As being a module system, it uses for these applications GPS, Sonic,
mechanical row finders and optic sensor for guiding.

-
intelligent components interchangeable between the (different) vehicles
-
all sensors interchangeable between the vehicles
Ultra Guidance PSR is the whole year solution:
PSR SKY
There is the whole range in the segment of automatic steering by aid of GPS available.
RGS Smart: combined antenna/receiver unit
Accuracy: 20 - 30 cm
Correction signal: EGNOS .
For hiqhest accuracy and in case tractor and implement shall be steered independent from each other and inclination shall be compensated too RTK (Real Time Kinematic) is required.
RTK requires a base station on a defined location und various movable receivers (RTK Rover). The base station transfers the correctiion signal via a radio modem to the vehicle. The radius of the radio signal depends from the sending performance ot the used radio modem.
There are different variations possible:
One antenna on the cab allows to steer the tractor exactly.
If there are used two antennas, an inclination compensation (terrain compensation) is possible.
If especially the implement should be steered with an accuracy of only a few centimeters, we use a dual frequency RTK receiver with three antennas. Thus, it is possible to steer vehicle and implement independent from each other. In order to calculate the tracks the inclination as well as the exact position of the implement are taken into consideration. The problem of implement drift can be avoided at all. According to cost reasons the GPS system is limited to just one GPS receiver, which receives the correction signal of the base station and which forwards them to both, vehicle and implement. .
PSR SONIC
If there are alrady tramlines, rows, plots, mounds, hills, berms, marker tracks and edges availabe, it make sense, to use these contours on the field. By the aid of sonic sensors, which are adjusted manually according to the conditions, a variety of applications can be steered optimum and in centimeter accuracy:
 |
Swath middle
|
Using a swath (grain, straw, hay, etc.) as guideline.
|
 |
Swath zig-zag
|
Using a swath as guideline. On narrow swaths the baler could be loaded unequally, if the machine is driven straight down the swath. In order to avoid this, the vehicle can be guided zig-zag, changing left and right. |
 |
Edge right/left
|
Using an edge as guideline. Left and right side can be changed. |
 |
Single cross right/left
|
This guidance mode is chosen, when the crops used as a guideline are in an early growth and the edge is not easily recognizable.
|
 |
Edge right/left correction
|
Using an edge as guideline together with a height correction. This guidance mode is used on hilly areas to equalize height differencies. |
 |
Tramline outside pinch
|
Steering alongside a tramline. This guidance mode is especially used, if there are well recognizable tramlines.
|
 |
Tramline cross |
Steering alongside a tramline. The cross-option should be used, if there is not a well recognizable tramline. You increase the capacity recognizing the guideline. |
Ultra Guidance PSR is a module system:
COMPONENTS:
PSR BASIC
PSR
vBASIC:
Wirings that stay with the
vehicle. Any vehicle to be guided automatically needs to be equipped with this
module.
PSR eBASIC:
The vehicle is steered by an electric motor attached to the steering wheel.
This option in the standard equipment can be replaced by a hydraulic solution.
PSR hBASIC:
The hydraulic solution allows an even higher precision in various
applications.
PSR iBASIC:
Intelligence of the system comprising the universal operating unit (PSR
cBOX) into which an electronic mini steering wheel is integrated and the
steering processor (PSR iBOX).
PSR SENSOR MODULES: PSR SKY, PSR SONIC, PSR TAC, PSR OPTIC
