Smart Irrigation Positioning Systems
Targeted Watering. Smarter Systems. Healthier Crops.
Smart irrigation systems are revolutionizing water management in agriculture, reducing waste, improving crop health, and adapting in real time to field conditions. At the core of these systems is precise motion control that positions irrigation booms, nozzles, or pivots with accuracy and reliability.
Helix Linear Technologies supplies corrosion-resistant lead screws and linear actuators designed to automate irrigation head positioning and valve actuation. Our motion components support zoned watering, variable flow control, and GPS-guided movement, helping farmers optimize resource use and improve sustainability.
Whether integrated into center pivots, drip line adjustment systems, or autonomous irrigation robots, Helix solutions are built to operate consistently in outdoor, high-moisture, and dust-prone environments.
Key Benefits:
- Precision-controlled movement for directional watering and coverage
- Rugged, weather-resistant actuators built for field conditions
- Compatible with IoT sensors and real-time environmental monitoring systems
- Reduces water usage while supporting crop-specific irrigation strategies
With Helix, your irrigation systems do more than spray. They think, adapt, and conserve, one motion at a time.
