A computer-implemented control system for gathering material and method for such is described. The system for gathering material comprising: one or more vehicles (10, 16) having an intake mechanism (18) for the material; a location-tracking system (12) movable with the one or more vehicles (10, 16) and capable of determining location information for the one or more vehicles (10, 16) and the intake mechanism (18); one or more processor devices; and one or more memory architectures (74) coupled with the one or more processor devices; wherein the one or more processor devices are configured to:

determine a current orientation of the intake mechanism (18) based upon, at least in part, location information determined by the location-tracking system (12);

determine a current orientation of the material, based upon, at least in part, historical location information for the material;

determine a target orientation of the intake mechanism (18) based upon, at least in part, the determined current orientation of the material; and

directing, by the one or more processor devices, a movement of the intake mechanism (18) from the determined current orientation of the intake mechanism (18) toward the determined target orientation.

Eine Garnklemmvorrichtung für eine Ballenpresse umfasst ein um eine Welle drehbares Klemmrad (2) und eine Klemmplatte (3), die gemeinsam einen Klemmspalt (4) begrenzen. Der Klemmspalt (4) weist mehrere entlang eines sich durch den Klemmspalt (4) erstreckenden Bindegarnstrangs (16) verteilte Engstellen (18) auf.

L'objet de l'invention est un dispositif combiné pour l'andainage et pour la mise en balles par pressage, notamment du foin, destiné à être relié à un engin tracteur muni d'un attelage trois points et d'une prise de force, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend des moyens (10) d'attelage, un châssis (12) unique sur roues (54-1, 54-2) comprenant des moyens (14) d'andainage et des moyens (16) de réception et de support d'une presse (18) à balles.

Le dispositif comprend également une seconde variante.

The invention provides a unit for cutting and bundling plants. The unit is mounted on or intended to be connected to a vehicle (1) and comprises foremost mounted cutting means (10), e.g. in the form of saw blades (13,14), thereafter transport means, e.g. in the form of belt conveyors (16,17) being arranged to pass cut-off plants backwards and simultaneously upwards, thereafter accumulating means (11) being arranged to receive plants from the conveyors and finally bundling means (12) being arranged next to the accumulating means to bundle plant bunches accumulated therein. An intermediate storage may be arranged before the accumulating means to temporarily store plants during periods when the accumulating means are filled or being emptied. The intermediate storage includes a stopping device (108) introduceable into the plant flow from the side.
