AP Dubex DBL : Dubex Boom Leveling
Smarter working
DBL is exclusively available at AP Dubex and integrates perfectly with the “superbalans” system that comes as standard on all our machines.
The well-known AP Dubex “superbalans” self-levelling system is equipped with a suspension point that can move sideways. Thanks to this, unevenness in the field has minimal effect on the boom’s behaviour which results in a constant spraying pattern.
On slopes however, manual adjustments have to be made. Thus, we have developed a system that adjusts our “superbalans” system in bends and slopes as well. The software that controls the boom not only works with ultrasonic sensors for the height control, but also uses a gyroscope. This determines the rotation speed of the boom and then indicates, in cooperation with the height sensors, how fast correction is required. Furthermore the system offers compensation when driving in curves.
The electronics make sure movement is stabilised quickly so separate dampers are no longer required.
The height sensors are mounted sufficiently spaced along the boom to help prevent any possible spray drift influencing the measured values of the sensors. When the booms are folded into the transport position the sensors are well protected in the boom.
Boom height control
For boom height control there are 3 options:
DBL Boom height control in combination with the gyroscope.
Level adjustment only.
DBL + Boom height control ín combination with the gyroscope and height sensors.
Level and height adjustment.
DBL ++ Boom height control in combination with the gyroscope, height sensors and geometry control*.
Level adjustment, height adjustment and geometry control.
* DBL ++: You select DBL++ if you have chosen the optional variable geometry and would like to have this controlled automatically as well, the machine then has 6 height sensors altogether.
