Telephone Steering Systems
Trimble offers assisted and automated steering options to help keep your farming vehicles on line-so you can focus on other farming tasks. With the added benefit of terrain compensation technology, you can operate in difficult terrain conditions while minimizing skips, overlaps, and guess rows.
Autopilot™ Automated Steering System
Automated, hands-free, steering system installs directly into hydraulic system, delivers highest-accuracy steering in any field type.
Features
- Provides automatic steering for your vehicle with one-inch repeatability
- Integrates directly into your vehicle’s hydraulics for clear access to cab control
- Utilizes terrain compensation technology for high accuracy on difficult terrain
- Ideal for the most demanding row crop farming applications
- Plugs in to many guidance-ready vehicles, minimizing the need for additional equipment
The Trimble® Autopilot™ automated steering system automatically steers your vehicle on line with maximum precision. When your vehicle gets offline, Autopilot signals it to adjust its position to follow the correct path, no matter the field pattern or terrain type—so you can focus on the job ahead of you.
- Complete field applications quickly and accurately
- Reduce operator fatigue and increase safety
- Operate day or night and in dusty or low visibility conditions
NextSwath End-of-Row Turn Technology
When used on the TMX-2050 display, Autopilot includes Trimble NextSwath™ end-of-row turn technology to automatically calculate and execute the best possible path to turn around a vehicle and approach the next crop row or swath with the implement precisely aligned to begin working.
OnSwath Line Acquisition Technology
Trimble OnSwath™ line acquisition technology allows Autopilot users to customize line acquisition preferences to the vehicle and field operation at hand. Using OnSwath the vehicle projects its path to the line, which allows it to get back online faster.
Terrain Compensation Technology
Autopilot uses T3™ sensors to calculate the actual position of the vehicle to help minimize skips and overlaps in areas with rolling terrain, slopes, and rough ground.
Autopilot™ Motor Drive System
Electric, hands-free, automated steering system with easy installation onto steering column, delivers highly-accurate, Autopilot-level steering.
Benefits
- Sub-inch accuracy inertias from the NavController III
- Slow speed and reverse operation
- Eliminates the requirement for an AutoSenseTM or a steering angle sensor
- Autopilot performance without the requirement for hose installation or the need for special tools
- Simple installation similar to the EZ-Pilot system
- Easy to transfer between vehicles
- Available for a large, expanding range of vehicles
Trimble® Autopilot™ Motor Drive, controls tractors and harvesting machines without hydraulic components up to RTK accuracy. No matter your vehicle type or brand, the Trimble Autopilot Motor Drive system can be quickly installed from one vehicle to another and steers your vehicle on line for maximum precision.
Terrain Compensation Technology
Autopilot Motor Drive uses T3™ sensors to calculate the actual position of the vehicle to help minimize skips and overlaps in areas with rolling terrain, slopes, and rough ground.
EZ-Pilot® Assisted Steering System
