Milking robot
The new Lely Astronaut A4 milking robot has been developed to meet the high demands on cow health. The robot guarantees the highest milk quality, while its controls ensure complete control of the herd. You can fully rely on this equipment, and also count on our qualified technical assistance, which we are ready to provide around the clock, seven days a week.
Good milk quality, high yields along with low costs allow you to get more profit. The Lely Astronaut A4 milking robot provides these three options for optimum results.
Robotic milking differs in many ways from traditional milking. One of the main differences is that each cow can be milked according to her natural need. In order to extract the maximum benefit from this circumstance, we strive to create such conditions in which the milking of the cow will be carried out in the most optimal way and with the least number of obstacles for this.
Straight driving is more natural
The main unique feature of the Lely Astronaut A4 milking robot is the special box design that allows cows to pass through. This construct implements the concept of free flow. Practice and research show that cows are actually unable to turn in tight spaces. If cows are given the option of straight-line entry and exit from the box, then all unnecessary obstacles are eliminated. The cow-friendly design of the equipment allows the animal to interact continuously with the rest of the herd, thereby eliminating the potential for unnecessary stress. With these unique innovations, we have been able to improve the performance of the Astronaut, making it the ultimate tool for maximum results.
Swivel feeder
Due to the fact that after milking the trough is retracted to the side, the cow is "invited" to leave the milking box, since there is nothing in front of her, and she will no longer be able to receive feed. The sooner the cow leaves the stall, the sooner the next cow will take her place. While this is a minor benefit, a gain of five seconds per milking can easily amount to a time saving of 15 minutes per day, or an extra cow!
Faster milking with fewer movements
To ensure optimal milking, different adjustments are ideally needed per quarter of the udder. With the Lely 4Effect pulsator, pulsation can be adjusted to a quarter of the udder. This guarantees a truly individual treatment of the cow and thus a "personalized" milking. The powerful robot arm has proven its reliability in practice since its first installation in 1992. This manipulator eliminates the need for unnecessary movement, treats the cows much more gently, prevents the teat cups from falling to the ground and provides the most secure fit.
Tools for making the best management decisions
With nearly 20 years of experience, we have been able to create a dedicated robotic farm control system: the new Lely T4C control program. Using numerous highly sensitive sensors, T4C collects and logs all data provided by Astronaut robots. It assists in making important management decisions through advanced software that analyzes and presents only clear and useful information. The goal is clear: to make it easier for farmers to make the best operational decisions.
Manipulator Lely Astronaut
Well proven concept; the unique robot arm is located under the cow and controls the entire milking process.
Swivel feeder
This feeder encourages the cow to leave the parlor - the faster the exit, the faster the entry.
E-link Manager Electronic Management Software
Real-time control gives you full access to T4C to manage your herd through the milking robot.
