Reaping arm optimisation for corn harvester

Corn harvester reaping arm module in Amstrong® 420MC. A lighter, simplified solution with maintained strength and stiffness.
By replacing multiple structural steel components with a single high-strength Amstrong® 420MC part, this design reduces weight and complexity while ensuring performance under demanding load scenarios.
Reaping arm optimization for corn harvester​

Re-designing with Amstrong® 420MC brings:​

  • 12% weight reduction for the full reaper arm​
  • Cost savings through simplified assembly and fewer parts​
  • No compromise on stiffness or strength​
  • Improved logistics with a single steel grade and thickness​
  • No issues with laser cutting, bending, or welding​
  • Potential for further optimization by replacing smaller elements with thinner Amstrong® 500MC or Amstrong® Ultra 700
