Wireless measuring and communication with the head now takes place.
Pentin Paja Oy from Finland has released the first ever, wireless measuring device for a harvesting head. The Bluetooth measuring device is compatible with the Naarva S23C harvesting head. The Naarva S23C is a simple and lightweight harvesting head for tractors and 5 to 8 ton excavators. It is suitable for first thinning and harvesting timber, pulpwood and energy wood. The measuring device itself is located in the harvesting head. Inside a steel casing is a logic control system, a battery and a Bluetooth transmitter. A tablet or a smart phone in the cabin is used as a display for the device. The operator can adjust the cutting length with the tablet on a simple and user-friendly interface. The Naarva S23C harvesting head can cut up to 30 cm (12 in) diameter trees. The Naarva S23C harvesting head has been the most popular product of Pentin Paja Oy yet. The main reasons for its success have been its affordable price and simplicity. The Naarva measuring device for the S23C was designed these values in mind. Source: www.naarva.fi
