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 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 should b...

One of the processes that should be improved to increase productivity is harvesting. The Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) has put a lot of effort into developing a mechanized harvesting tool called the CantasTM. This efficient tool has been shown to increase oil palm harvesting productivity by a factor of 3. However, CantasTM 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.
