Safety first

Mechatronics in Comer Industries guarantees not only optimal vehicle performance but - first and foremost - operator safety.
Mechatronic solutions permit overall component control thus ensuring machine reliability and safety at all times. Electronic controls are used to monitor proper machine operation, making it possible to correct accidental maneuvers by the operator. The intelligent control of all operating phases thus solves any problems caused by hazardous movements.
Comer Industries has created new software algorithms to better control system parts, as well as programs that simulate situations difficult to reproduce in the laboratory: these tools guarantee maximum safety in application of all systems.
For its safety concerns, Comer Industries has received special recognition for "technical innovation" from UNACOMA (Italian Association of Agricultural Machine Manufacturers) regarding two solutions designed by the Mechatronic Research Center and presented at Eima 2002.
The first award is the ECS (Easy Connecting System), featuring an innovative yoke for easy coupling of the cardan shaft to the power takeoff (PTO) on tractors. The growing demand for optimized agricultural machinery has led to increased size and weight of transmission components. In the light of this, the UNACOMA Committee has recognized the ECS device as a technical innovation because it facilitates the coupling and uncoupling of the cardan shaft therefore guaranteeing greater operator safety.

Comer Industries' second award went to the transmission unit for hose reel irrigation equipment (MIB). This new integrated system permits efficient irrigation management, even remotely, while dramatically reducing manual intervention and improving the safety of the operator and the mechanical parts
