Anti Shake and Balance System
ROPA has developed an innovative chassis concept with 2 floating axles in conjunction with 4 stabilizing cylinders for the Panther 2 range of harvesters. Compared to the previous chassis used in 2-axle beet harvesters the sway of machine has been reduced by one 50%.
Uneven surfaces (e.g. when driving along a wheeling) are transmitted to only half the frame thanks to roll stabilization of the chassis!
Hydraulic wheel load compensation system
Roll stabilization with fully automatic hydraulic wheel load and slope compensation
- 2 swing axles with 4 stabilization cylinders
- 50% less rolling motion on the chassis and steering sensor -> more precise row guidance, less beet damage
- reduced material wear, extended service life
- hydraulic connection of the stabilization cylinders from each side
- compensation of wheel loads between front and rear axles-> better traction and soil protection
- greater slope stability, less risk of tipping over
- better lifting depth control, less soil pickup
- large-sized Michelin Ultraflex tires with only 2 bar pressure
- better driving comfort even on oblique descents and headlands
Computer-controlled slope compensation
Optimal surface contour adaptation with two swing axles with stabilization cylinders
ROPA has developed an innovative chassis concept with 2 floating axles in conjunction with 4 stabilizing cylinders for the Panther 2 range of harvesters. Compared to the previous chassis used in 2-axle beet harvesters the sway of machine has been reduced by one 50%.
Cabin, bunker and chassis remain in a horizontal position
The reason for the improvement is the hydraulic connection of the stabilizing cylinders at the front and rear axles on one side, so unevenness at one wheel at a different level only affects the frame by 50% compared to the previous system. The reduction of the chassis swing improves both row and depth control, as the chassis is averaged to the position of both axles.
