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 affords farmers an improve to its predecessor, the Nav-900, with a number of enhancements, together with enhanced pace, increased processing energy and improved positioning efficiency.
The corporate says that utilizing this receiver, farmers can deal with essentially the most complicated and demanding purposes for steering and steering, creating improved uptime and the flexibleness to seamlessly run subject operations. Using the Nav-960 as a part of a whole autosteering answer permits operators to give attention to the fieldwork because it occurs and permits growers to get work performed sooner, decreasing put on and tear on tools.
“Because the precision ag trade evolves, we’re centered 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 approach 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 in the end 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 affords each inner and exterior enhancements to enhance positioning and accuracy for a wide range of duties throughout any measurement farming operation.
With its new solid aluminum base and smooth design, the Nav-960 is constructed to resist the hardest farming environments together with searing warmth, freezing chilly, driving rain, persistent mud and all the things in between. The extra processing energy of the upgraded CPU ensures compatibility and readiness for fieldwork immediately and sooner or later.
The brand new era receiver contains a number of superior options. It incorporates a patented industrial design with a rugged base that’s immune to mud, water, and vibration. The improved GNSS engine tracks extra satellites than earlier fashions and works with enhanced inertial sensors to offer 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 alerts, it delivers centimetre-level accuracy. Its superior quad core processor offers further energy, sooner calculations and improved knowledge supply speeds.
The Nav-960 maintains full compatibility with present PTx Trimble steering methods 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 help and put together it for future enhancements throughout the PTx Trimble answer portfolio.
