Mass-flow sensor – 7760 and 7660

The cotton mass-flow sensors transmit beams of microwave energy through their respective plastic duct on the 7760 and 7660 and into the cotton flow between the cleaner and basket on the 7460, illuminating the stream of flowing cotton. A portion of this energy reflects off the moving piece of cotton and returns to the sensor where the reflected energy is detected.  Yield data is then carried to the display where it meets the georeferencing data from the receiver.
