摘要： In certain embodiments, a system includes a first robotic device positioned proximate to a first milking stall of a rotary milking platform. The rotary milking platform has a plurality of milking stalls. The first robotic device is operable to prepare the teats of a first dairy livestock located in the first milking stall. The system also includes a second robotic device positioned proximate to a second milking stall of the rotary milking platform. The second robotic device is operable to attach a first milking device to the teats of a second dairy livestock located in the second milking stall. The system also includes a third robotic device proximate to a third milking stall of the rotary milking platform. The third robotic device is operable to attach a second milking device to the teats of a third dairy livestock located in the third milking stall. The system also includes a fourth robotic device positioned proximate to a fourth milking stall of the rotary milking platform. The fourth robotic device is operable to apply a sanitizing agent to the teats of a fourth dairy livestock located in the fourth milking stall subsequent to a removal of a third milking device from the teats of the fourth dairy livestock.

摘要： An adaptive milking system comprises a milk meter, a controller, and a detacher. The milk meter measures a flow rate of milking an animal during a first period of time, and continues to monitor the flow rate of milking the animal. The controller is communicatively coupled to the milk meter and calculates a percentage of the measured flow rate. The controller triggers a delay timer when the monitored flow rate of milking the animal becomes lower than the larger of (a) a default threshold flow rate and (b) the calculated percentage of the measured flow rate. The detacher is communicatively coupled to the controller and removes a milking unit from the animal when the delay timer reaches a threshold time.

摘要： A pulsator (10) comprises a valve chamber (12) and an armature (24a) arranged in the valve chamber. An electrically powered coil (20a) at least partially surrounds the valve chamber and generates a magnetic flux. A magnetic pole piece (22a) is arranged in the valve chamber (12) and has a metal surface (23a). The armature (24a) has a first end (26a) nearest the magnetic pole piece and a second end (28a). The first end of the armature has a metal surface (30a) and the second end has a first sealing surface (32a) and a second sealing surface (34a).
