BALLPICKER

Robotic Ball Picker automatically picks up golf balls from the driving range

The BallPicker is the ultimate tool for a driving range. The picker automatically picks up range balls all day long without being reminded. The BallPicker collects up to 300 golf balls at a time before it has to empty. It will run 3-4 cycles of collecting and droping off golf balls on one charge. After about 2 hours of work, it will automatically return to its charging station where it will charge for about two hours. At that time, it will automatically return to collecting golf balls.

The BallPicker does not use gasoline or oil, running completely on 24V ni-cad batteries. The picker runs nearly silent, not to disturb golfers on the driving range or nearby holes.

The BallPicker drops the golf balls into the drop zone where the balls are then transported via the elevator for collection or distribution

The BallPicker senses it has a full load and returns to the drop zone/charging station. Once it reaches the zone, it will drop the golf balls into an underground holding area. The elevator takes the golf balls from underground to a collection point or moves it along for distribution.

With the proper equipment, range balls could be collected, elevated to a washer, then transported to the ball dispenser on the range where the customer buys the range balls without a dime spent in labor.

The BallPicker uses conventional polyethylenediscs to pick up the golf balls. Operating in a random mode, the front wheels retract to ensure optimal collection. As it approaches obstacles in its path or the boundaries of the range, BallPicker lowers its wheels again in order to manoeuvre.
