Astronaut A5 Milking Robot

tomfredv

How does the hybrid arm technology of the Lely Astronaut A5 milking robot contribute to energy efficiency and cow comfort, compared to previous versions like the A4?

    The A5’s hybrid arm combines electric motors with pneumatic assistance, resulting in movements that are smoother, quieter, and more precise. This gentler approach reduces noise levels in the milking environment and makes the entire milking process less intrusive for the cow. The result is improved cow confidence, reduced stress, and enhanced udder health, all contributing to better milk let-down and overall performance.

    A Smarter Way to Save Energy

    Thanks to the shift from fully pneumatic operation to a hybrid-electric design, the A5 uses significantly less energy per milking session. Electric components offer better control and require less power than traditional pneumatic systems, leading to a measurable reduction in energy usage, up to 20% less energy per 100 litres of milk in many farm situations. The hybrid system also reduces wear and tear, meaning fewer maintenance interventions and more uptime.

    Efficient, Accurate, Reliable

    With faster and more consistent teat cup attachment, the A5 ensures each cow is milked efficiently and comfortably, reducing unnecessary standing time. Combined with intelligent software and real-time monitoring, the hybrid arm delivers reliability with every milking, no matter the time of day.

    The Lely Astronaut A5 is more than a milking robot — it’s a smart solution designed for modern farms focused on animal welfare, sustainability, and performance. The hybrid arm plays a central role in delivering on that promise.
