I-Flow
For optimal visit behavior, the Astronaut's I-Flow system offers a natural way of milking, with a cow-friendly design. Cows can enter the Astronaut easily, simply by walking straight ahead. She stays within the comfort of the herd.
Hybrid arm
The hybrid arm of the Astronaut creates a silent, relaxed environment for cows to be milked. Its movements are electrically driven, without the use of air, which means a huge gain in energy efficiency.
Cleaning with brushes
For optimal hygiene and stimulation, brushes clean the teats and the underside of the udder. The tactile cleaning of the teats with brushes offers the best stimulation for the milk‑let‑down response.
Consistent attaching
Fast, consistent and accurate connecting is more relaxing for the cow. That’s why a milking robot is more suitable for milking than a human. A three‑layer laser system delivers the most accurate teat‑position information.
Intuitive user interface
With a friendly design of the intuitive user interface, you will find it remarkably easy to find your way around functions, settings, information, and reports.
