Overall performance
Visit the barn and observe an automatic
milking session from start to end. Examine
the following to confirm that the milking
station works properly:
Rear plate
Movements of the rear plate
The plate should tilt forwards and rest
against the back legs of the cow and be
pulled back to the upright position when the
cow has left the milking station.
Multi-purpose arm
The arm should move and rotate smoothly
and be able to fetch cups without difficulty.
Re-determine the cup positions if necessary.
Proper functioning of the rear plate and
multi-purpose arm will make it easier
locating teats and contribute to more
reliable milking process.
