Initial progress and possible improvement of e-cutter linear actuator development

Currently, palm oil has become the most consumed vegetable oil type. This is due to an awareness of the effect Trans Fat has on human health. Therefore, increasing productiveness is a crucial factor to ensure its continued availability as a product in the marketplace. One of the processes that shoul...

One of the processes that should be improved to increase productivity is harvesting.

This efficient tool has been shown to increase oil palm harvesting productivity by a factor of 3. However, Cantas™ is ineffective at harvesting oil palm fruit in trees taller than 8m. Therefore, a new tool called the E-Cutter was introduced. In this paper, the development progress of specifically the E-Cutter’s linear actuator part was discussed.
