ORBIS 600 SD and ORBIS 750, CLAAS's new corn headers

With their small and large discs, the new ORBIS 600 SD and ORBIS 750 corn headers ensure optimal crop flow, maximum efficiency and great reliability.

The new oscillating frame with redesigned T-structures reduces the weight of the ORBIS and increases its wear resistance. Thanks to the new folding system, these front attachments are ready for operation in just a few seconds.

Combination of small and large discs for optimal crop flow
The concept of the new ORBIS corn headers with working widths of 6 m and 7,5 m is based on the proven combination of large and small discs. Two large discs are mounted in the middle of the front attachment. They ensure a steady crop flow and offer a clear advantage when reversing.

The ORBIS 600 SD works with four small-diameter outer discs, while the ORBIS 750 combines one large outer disc with one small inner disc on each side.

The configuration of both models thus provides a proven V-shaped crop flow and maximum reliability even in uneven maize crops. The new fingers in front of the knives ensure loss-free crop pick-up.

The points can be removed for harvesting lodged maize. The new knife geometry ensures a clean cut in all crops and also a self-sharpening effect.

Oscillating frame with T-structures
The new oscillating frame centres the crop flow feeding the JAGUAR's pre-compression rollers. Robust, it gives the front attachment a high load capacity and an optimal distribution of forces. The hitch angle of the oscillating frame can be set to two positions depending on harvesting conditions.

This makes it possible, particularly in wet conditions, to maintain the cutting angle of the front attachment even if the front wheels of the forage harvester sink further into the ground.

The AUTO CONTOUR system provides lateral compensation with active ground pressure control to obtain stubble of uniform height across the entire working width.

It is fitted as standard on the ORBIS 750 and available as an option on the ORBIS 600 SD. The new modular T-structures carry the drive train and the discs.

Thanks to them and the new support frame, the cutting height is lowered and the cut is more uniform, with no risk of foreign objects being picked up.

Hardened and die-cast, rigid and wear-resistant, the T-structures protect the gearboxes from wear and mechanical loads.

New folding system for a corn header that is quickly ready for use
The folding system of the ORBIS has been completely redesigned to considerably reduce unfolding and folding time so that work can begin as quickly as possible.

The side units fold at 45° towards the middle of the forage harvester on the ORBIS 600 SD and symmetrically, book-style, on the ORBIS 750. The compact folding of the corn header gives the driver optimal visibility when driving on the road. Both models fold to an overall width of 3,0 m for road transport. An integrated oscillation damper ensures optimal road comfort up to 40 km/h.
