Measurement technology for determining the forces and performance of soil cultivation equipment (cultivators, disc harrows) and their tools.
Measuring cultivator
- Force situation on the tool (horizontal, vertical and side forces)
- Comparison of different tool variants and wear conditions
- Compensation of soil inhomogeneities using reference tools
Linear Motion Scanner and 3D-Camera
- Surface roughness before and after tillage, calculation of roughness indices
- Actual working depth and cultivated soil volume
- Change in pore volume
SoilCover (© Josephinum Research www.soilcover.at)
- Image analytical determination of the land cover
- Classification into living biomass, dead biomass, earth and stones
Determination of dry density, water content and pore volume
