Topcon Agriculture Launches UC7 Plus Boom Height Control

Livermore, California - Topcon Agriculture., a precision agriculture solutions provider, has unveiled the UC7 Plus, the next generation of its boom height control technology, promising to boost overall spraying performance by up to 30 percent. Built on the foundation of Topcon’s proven Norac boom height control systems, the new UC7 Plus aims to help farmers and crop service providers reduce input costs, enhance crop yields, and lower equipment maintenance expenses.

The UC7 Plus introduces new sensor technology to deliver improved height and spray control. Key features include the dynamic chassis sensor (DCS-1), which enhances boom stability and responsiveness, and the MS-1 sensors equipped with MAX Sense ultrasonic technology for better performance in uneven or challenging terrain. Designed for durability, these sensors use corrosion-resistant GF nylon housings, protective transducer screens, and multi-axis vents to withstand tough field conditions.

Mr. Nick Townsend, Topcon Agriculture vice president and segment leader for smart implements, said, “The combination of proven legacy solutions with the latest in precision technology serves up an extreme opportunity for lower operating and input costs, and lower equipment repair costs. The UC7 Plus directly drives those savings. These new capabilities also improve sustainability efforts in applying only the needed amount of spray, where it is needed, to achieve the best results - supporting compliance efforts, cost savings, and optimal crop performance.”

In addition to tangible cost and sustainability benefits, the system offers significant operator support by automating boom height adjustments based on terrain contours. This reduces operator fatigue and the constant need to monitor field conditions. The UC7 Plus provides different levels of control to fit a range of applications, crops, and operator preferences, and is compatible with both self-propelled and pull-type sprayers, making it suitable for upgrades or integration with existing systems.
