Abstract:
The invention relates to a measuring device (10) for optical and spectroscopic examination of a sample (34), having a housing (12), a first light source (20), a window (16), an optical spectrometer (22) with a dispersive element (42) and a number of detector elements (44) and which can record light from the first light source (20) which is indirectly reflected by the sample and reenters the housing (12) through the window (16), an electronic camera (26) whose incidence opening (38) is directed onto the sample (34), through the window (16), and an electronic evaluation device (28) which is connected to an image sensor (54) of the camera (26) and to the detector elements (44).It is proposed that the camera (26) is assigned a second light source (24).
Abstract:
A spectrometric measuring head for harvesting machines and other agricultural equipment comprises a housing with a window, in which a light source, a spectrometer arrangement and at least two standards for internal recalibration are provided. The standards can optionally be swiveled in the optical path of the measuring head such that the entire measuring light coming from the light source is used for recalibration. A processor that captures and processes the measured values and an interface to a bus system are arranged in the housing.
Abstract:
A harvesting machine includes a measuring device for capturing the throughput of collected and/or processed crops. The measuring device having a measuring surface which acts together with the crop material and is supported movably at a support point in such a manner that its position depends on the throughput of the crop material, and an optical position capturing device for capturing the position of the measuring surface. Preferably the support is a solid body articulation (42) and the position capturing device is a laser interferometer.

Abstract:
An arrangement for the automatic adjustment of the cut height of a front harvesting attachment on a harvesting machine for the harvesting of stalk-like plants. A controller is connected to a sensor and to an actuator that can adjust the cut height of the front harvesting attachment based on the detection by the sensor of at least one characteristic of the harvested crop material and can be repositioned as a function of the signal of the sensor.
Abstract:
A discharge arrangement of an agricultural harvesting machine comprises a retaining arrangement, a housing removably mounted onto the retaining arrangement, and a measuring device mounted within the housing. The measuring device is adapted to detect properties of the harvested crop. A cover arrangement is pivotably mounted onto the retaining arrangement to enclose the housing and the measuring device such that the housing and the measuring device are positioned between the cover arrangement and the discharge arrangement.
Abstract:
A large round baler is equipped with sensors for measuring the location of harvest, and/or various physical characteristics, of crop material being placed in a specific bale, with these parameters being electronically recorded and stored in memory on an electronic storage medium. In order to be able to associate the location and measured values with the individual bale to which the values pertain, a device is provided by which the electronic storage medium may be inserted in, or attached to, the bale.
