PTx Trimble, shaped as a three way partnership in 2024 by AGCO and Trimble, introduced its latest GNSS receiver for precision autoguidance – the Nav-960 steering controller – on the Agrishow in São Paulo, Brazil.
The PTx Trimble Nav-960 provides farmers an improve to its predecessor, the Nav-900, with a number of enhancements, together with enhanced pace, greater processing energy and improved positioning efficiency.
The corporate says that utilizing this receiver, farmers can deal with probably the most advanced and demanding functions for steering and steering, creating improved uptime and the pliability to seamlessly run subject operations. Using the Nav-960 as a part of an entire autosteering resolution permits operators to concentrate on the fieldwork because it occurs and permits growers to get work performed sooner, lowering put on and tear on gear.
“Because the precision ag trade evolves, we’re targeted on modern options that make it simpler for farmers to deal with the important challenges they face within the subject, and to take action in a means that creates added worth,” says Andrew Sunderman, VP of product and buyer expertise. “With the brand new NAV-960 steering controller, farmers have entry to a number of the most superior technical capabilities for GNSS positioning out there, which finally helps to get the job performed in much less time and with extra profitability.”
The PTx Trimble Nav-960 was designed as a successor and improve to the flagship Nav-900 and provides each inside and exterior enhancements to enhance positioning and accuracy for quite a lot of duties throughout any measurement farming operation.
With its new forged aluminum base and modern design, the Nav-960 is constructed to face up to the hardest farming environments together with searing warmth, freezing chilly, driving rain, persistent mud and every thing in between. The extra processing energy of the upgraded CPU ensures compatibility and readiness for fieldwork in the present day and sooner or later.
The brand new technology receiver consists of a number of superior options. It encompasses a patented industrial design with a rugged base that’s proof against mud, water, and vibration. The improved GNSS engine tracks extra satellites than earlier fashions and works with enhanced inertial sensors to supply as much as 50% improved car positioning and line following efficiency in comparison with the Nav-900.
The receiver incorporates onboard Trimble ProPoint know-how with Trimble IonoGuard, which maximises resistance to downtime brought on by photo voltaic occasions and scintillation. When utilized in mixture with Trimble CenterPoint RTX or RTK correction indicators, it delivers centimetre-level accuracy. Its superior quad core processor offers additional energy, sooner calculations and improved knowledge supply speeds.
The Nav-960 maintains full compatibility with present PTx Trimble steering programs and makes use of the identical cables because the Nav-900 steering controller. Moreover, onboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities make the Nav-960 simpler for service groups to assist and put together it for future enhancements throughout the PTx Trimble resolution portfolio.
