Abstract
The main purpose in the study of boom suspension is to investigate
the possibility of using an active suspension instead of the
traditional passive system. In addition to the improved spraying
result, an active system would make the operator's task much
easier. The project compares the possible perforamnce of an active
and passive boom suspension. A model has been made of an advanced
active system, that combines a traditional trapezoid, with a
spring pendulum system. The system can be described with a linear
forth order model. The system has been the foundation for an
active suspension, that combines a hydraulic actuator and a
spring. A closed loop lead compensator including a set of distance
transducers has improved the performance significantly. The active
system has been simulated on a constructed srface.
