Security system for overloading of a subsoiler

Abstract

Currently, rural technological development has emerged as a response to the need for improving production efficiency in the fields, especially in agricultural countries such as Colombia due to aspects such as demographic growth and economic globalization; the use of a subsoiler is the first activity performed, intended to loosen soil as a way of reducing its resistance and allowing the spread of plant roots and flow of water. Hence, any type of abnormal circumstances in the development of this activity results in delays in future works or decrease of crop efficiency. This article shows the results of a technological research, focused on mechatronic adequacy of a subsoiler implement addressed under a structured design procedure that assures technological adaptations by assuring the operation of a control instrumented system with response to overloading
