Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for wrapping bodies, in particular harvested material bales (1) of hay, straw or wilted green crop, at least one wrapping material web being drawn off from a wrapping material supply (8) during the wrapping process and a means being provided which signals a tear in the wrapping material web or that the wrapping material supply (8) has been used up. In order to improve the device and to develop a simple and in particular cheaper solution, it is proposed according to the invention that at least one optical sensor (14, 15), ultrasonic sensor or sensor for electromagnetic waves/fields of different frequency ranges be associated with the wrapping material web portion (18) between wrapping material supply (8) and the body (1) and disposed stationarily.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for wrapping bodies, in particular harvested material bales (1, 34, 50, 65) of hay, straw or wilted green crop, which are wrapped in at least one wrapping material web (8, 36, 57, 74). In order to improve and simplify this device with regard to adjustment and monitoring of the wrapping process, it is proposed according to the invention that the device (3, 4, 44, 49, 64) comprise one or more sensor means (23, 24, 28, 30, 42, 43, 47, 59, 63, 71, 75, 76) for monitoring and/or controlling the wrapping process and/or checking the finished bale wrapping.

Abstract:
A method of automatically milking a dairy animal, in particular a cow. The method comprises: a) the step of activating the teat cup for milking the teat; b) the step of measuring a milking parameter during milking the teat during step a) for obtaining a value of the milking parameter, and c) the step of deactivating the teat cup when a deactivation threshold has been reached. The deactivation threshold is determined at least partially with the aid of the value of the milking parameter. A device for automatically milking a dairy animal, in particular a cow. Said device is provided with means for activating the teat cup for milking a teat of the dairy animal, means comprising a milking parameter for measuring a milking parameter during milking the teat for obtaining a value of the milking parameter, means for deactivating the teat cup, and means for generating a threshold signal indicating that a deactivation threshold has been reached. The deactivation means are put into operation with the aid of the threshold signal, the means for generating the signal indicating a deactivation threshold generating the signal at least partially with the aid of the value of the milking parameter.
Abstract:
A device for supplying feed to animals, such as cows. Said device is provided with a plurality of feeding troughs disposed on a framework which is located around a central axis. Each feeding trough is accessible to an animal and has an entrance side for the head of an animal. At least one feeding trough has a shape that widens from the entrance side. Preferably all the feeding troughs have a shape that widens from the entrance side.
Abstract:
A device for supplying feed to animals, which device is provided with a hopper for the feed, a feeding parlor, and conveying means for conveying feed from the hopper to the feeding parlor, said device being adapted to be positioned relative to a bottom on which an animal can stand. The conveying means comprise a first conveyor for conveying feed upwards from a hopper. The first conveyor has a supply end.
