10. CLAAS Auto Contour
Two pairs of sensor bands underneath the cutterbar scan the surface of the ground. CEBIS corrects the cutterbar position in the direction of travel and perpendicular to the direction of travel if necessary.

11. Laser Pilot

12. Laser Pilot
The Laser Pilot transmits pulsing beams of light. These are reflected by the standing crop and the stubble. Due to the greater distance, the reflection from the stubble takes longer than from the standing crop. The Laser Pilot uses this time difference to calculate the edge of the crop and guides the combine harvester precisely along it.

The three segments of the pre-separation concave are easily interchangeable. That means changing over from cereals to maize is no problem. The concave below the main concave is suitable for all types of crop.

18. Electrohydraulic concave adjustment via CEBIS
As part of automatic machine adjustment via CEBIS the concave distance is electrohydraulically adjusted. The hydraulic cylinder additionally acts as an overload preventer. If a sudden overload occurs it opens the concave spacing briefly, before returning to the selected setting.

Tines
Return pan
Above each straw walker rack there are two driven tines which shake out the straw from above and speed up the straw flow. This improves grain separation.

23. Separation of remaining grain with separator rotors

24. Separation of remaining grain with separator rotors
The LEXION 480 has two separator rotors behind the conventional APS threshing mechanism. These separate out the grains remaining in the straw.
