ORBIS maize front attachment.

An unbeatable partner for the JAGUAR 1000 series.
 

The new ORBIS series has an incomparably fast folding action.

The compact design of this maize front attachment enables a clear view to the front and to the sides.

Fitted to the new JAGUAR 1000, the ORBIS row-independent maize front attachment with working widths from 9.00 to 10.50 m embodies a combination of feedback from our customers around the world and our own practical experience. You benefit from its well thought-out design and excellent reliability every minute you are working with it.

• CEMOS AUTO HEADER: two independent drives allow speeds of transport discs and intake drums to be varied separately
• Optimal ground adaptation through AUTO CONTOUR and active stabiliser wheels
• Very low stubble height across the entire working width
• Engage and reverse under full load
• Straight and wide crop transfer from ORBIS to JAGUAR for top chop quality
• ORBIS 10500 and 9000 have 20% wider crop flow channel
  

A particularly notable new development is the use of a second, independent drive for the ORBIS 10500 and 9000. This makes it possible for the speed of the transport discs to be varied independently of the intake drums in the transfer section. The result is a very even crop transfer to the pre-compression rollers for all lengths of cut. The fully hydraulic pre-compression ensures optimum compression of the crop ahead of the new, 910 mm wide V-FLEX chopping cylinder.

The efficient drive system offers you a huge amount of power for remarkably little fuel. This is because the ORBIS requires only a few transmission elements and has impressively low starting torque. Another advantage of these characteristics is that the front attachment can also be switched on and reversed at full load. The transmission and drive components are designed for high throughput. Perfect matching of the drive speed to the set length of cut ensures an optimal crop feed into the JAGUAR forage harvester.

The combination of small and large intake discs makes for high versatility while the design is ideally suited to working widths with extremely high throughput. The ORBIS maize front attachment transports all the plants gently and reliably for optimal delivery to the JAGUAR intake. If the machine is reversed, the plants which have already been cut remain on the large discs and are then drawn in.

The clean cutting of the maize plants is the first stage in the high-quality work delivered by the ORBIS. Even in difficult conditions, when harvesting lodged maize, for example, the plants are collected efficiently thanks to the new, open design of the side panels.

The characteristics of the terrain cease to matter when harvesting maize with the ORBIS. The key to the excellent ground adaptation of the ORBIS 10500 and 9000 of the CLAAS JAGUAR 1000 series is the AUTO CONTOUR system. Three sensors detect ground irregularities and adjust the programmed working height accordingly. The new, actively controlled stabiliser wheels of the new ORBIS 10500 ensure fast, smooth adaptation so that the ideal working height is always maintained, regardless of the terrain and the ground speed. With the skids in full contact with the ground, the AUTO CONTOUR control system automatically switches over to float position. In this way, excellent lateral compensation is ensured along with ground pressure control.

Performance is what really counts during harvesting. Involved maintenance tasks are more than a nuisance: they cost time, reduce productivity and are a threat to profitability. This is why the CLAAS engineers have done all they can to keep the maintenance effort to a minimum. The key assemblies are quick and easy to access.
