Active Side Trimmer

The Active Side Trimmer uses fully electric actuation instead of hydraulic cylinders to control arm movement and head positioning.
Electric control allows precise adjustment of trunk distance and trimming angle during operation.

Key benefits:
• Continuous trunk distance control
• Smooth approach and retreat around trunks
• Stable arm positioning without hydraulic drift
• No hydraulic oil or cylinder maintenance

Result: precise trimming with reduced risk of bark damage.

A flexible sensing frame with an integrated encoder continuously monitors the position of the trimming head when approaching tree trunks.
Unlike traditional sensors that detect only contact, this system measures displacement and adjusts movement smoothly.

Key benefits:
• Gentle interaction with trunks
• Continuous distance feedback
• Smooth bypass movement around trees
• Reduced impact force

Result: safe trunk protection during autonomous trimming.

The trimming system uses extended flexible strings that provide efficient vegetation cutting while bending safely upon trunk contact.
A specially designed drum allows fast and easy replacement of trimming strings.

Key benefits:
• Gentle contact with young trees
• Efficient grass and weed removal
• Quick field replacement of strings
• Reduced maintenance downtime

Result: clean root zones and reliable vegetation control.

The trimming head automatically adjusts vertically according to terrain slope and surface conditions.
This ensures consistent contact with vegetation even on uneven ground.

Key benefits:
• Consistent trimming height
• Adaptation to slopes and uneven terrain
• No manual adjustments required
• Reliable vegetation removal near trunks

Result: uniform trimming quality across the plantation.

The Active Side Trimmer is built with a compact head that allows operation under irrigation pipelines commonly installed in orchards and vineyards.

Key benefits:
• Safe operation beneath irrigation lines
• No collision with drip irrigation systems
• Compatible with modern plantation layouts
• Improved operational flexibility

Result: uninterrupted trimming in dense plantation environments.

The system automatically adjusts trimming drum speed according to vegetation density and platform movement speed.
This ensures consistent impact distribution of trimming strings.

Key benefits:
• Stable vegetation cutting performance
• Balanced string wear
• Reduced trunk impact risk
• Adaptation to grass density

Result: precise and efficient trimming in varying vegetation conditions.

The Active Side Trimmer includes a protective suspension frame that detects abnormal resistance if the trimming head becomes jammed.
When obstruction is detected, the system automatically stops operation.

Key benefits:
• Protection from hidden obstacles
• Immediate emergency shutdown
• Reduced risk of mechanical damage
• Safe autonomous operation

Result: reliable unattended trimming in demanding field conditions.
