Intelligent Boom Control for Forestry Equipment Infographic

Intelligent Boom Control

More productive
Short learning curve
Enjoyable to operate
Improved fuel economy
Reduced structural fatigue
The operator can focus on controlling the head or grapple rather than on the boom joint movements
Attract and retain operators. IBC is so productive and easy to use, operators in the forest want to run IBC-equipped machines.

Maneuvering between trees is easy. The boom responds smoothly and the system controls the boom movement.
Operator takes the harvester head to the desired place and the system adjusts boom movements and extension automatically.
Easy to use and precise to operate
- The boom tip automatically follows the desired trajectory. Hill mode makes the trajectory suitable for working on slopes.
- The harvester head is driven to the optimal cutting height.
- Intelligent control of boom turning improves control of movements in all reaches.

Optional for forwarders
Operator controls the boom tip directly instead of controlling independent boom joint movements.
Reduce necessary tuning parameters and increase durability of the boom and cylinders.
IBC system speed can be adjusted to the operator’s needs.
Adjust vertical, horizontal, and slew speed of boom tip.
Switching between IBC and conventional boom control is done with a press of a button.
IBC also provides end damping to stop the blow-like loads of the cylinder ends so the operator does not need to monitor boom positions. Work is more fluent and the boom structures and hydraulic cylinders last longer.
