Crop Scanning Robotic Arms
Analyze in Motion. Detect Early. Optimize Every Acre.
Robotic arms equipped with imaging, thermal, or multispectral sensors are becoming vital tools in precision agriculture by scanning crops for health indicators, pest infestations, nutrient deficiencies, and growth patterns. These systems require smooth, accurate, and repeatable motion to capture consistent and reliable data in dynamic field conditions.
Helix Linear Technologies provides compact linear actuators and lead screw assemblies that power robotic scanning arms with precision and durability. Our motion solutions enable stable traversal and positioning of sensors across plant rows, greenhouse racks, or vertical farms, ensuring detailed crop insights from every angle.
Built for outdoor or greenhouse environments, Helix components deliver consistent motion control in the presence of vibration, dust, and humidity.
Key Benefits:
- Smooth, repeatable motion for high-resolution crop imaging and data collection
- Compact actuator options for integration into lightweight robotic arms
- Durable construction for outdoor, mobile, or greenhouse use
- Support precision spraying, harvesting, and watering
With Helix products, you don’t just monitor your fields, you understand them, one motion at a time.
