Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An animal treating arrangement includes a carrying device beside a milking platform rotating with a velocity and having animal places housing animals. The carrying device includes a fundament, a first bearing device ( 12 ) provided on the fundament, an arm ( 13 ) connected to the first bearing device permitting the arm to rotate in relation to the fundament around a first axis, a support platform ( 15 ) connected to the arm ( 13 ). A drive arrangement moves the support platform and includes a first drive member ( 31 ) rotating the arm around the first axis. A sensor ( 37 ) communicates with a control unit ( 36 ) and senses an instantaneous value of the velocity. The control unit controls the first drive member to move the support platform to follow the milking platform from a start position to an end position during a part of the rotation of the milking platform.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A carrying device of an animal treating arrangement, the carrying device comprising: a parallel rotary milking platform (P) that rotates with respect to an adjacent ground or floor surface, a stationary fundament ( 11 ) configured to be positioned beside, spaced-apart and separate from, an outer edge of the parallel rotary milking platform (P) on the ground surface or floor, so that the fundament remains stationary with respect to the milking platfor…
