Maxx TDS Cleaner (750 ml) – Lely Astri-TDS Compatible

The Maxx TDS Cleaner is a specialized, high-performance cleaning solution specifically formulated for the Teat Detection System (TDS) screen on Lely Astronaut milking robots. Because the TDS laser and camera system are the "eyes" of the robot, maintaining a perfectly clear screen is essential for fast teat attachment and reducing "failed visit" alerts.

Product Identification

Key Benefits

• Streak-Free Clarity: Engineered to remove dried milk, manure spray, and water spots without leaving a film that could distort the laser's 3D mapping.
• Non-Abrasive Formula: Safely cleans the sensitive glass or polycarbonate surface of the TDS unit without scratching, which is critical for long-term sensor accuracy.
• Fast Evaporation: Dries quickly so the robot can return to service immediately after a maintenance wipe-down.
• Anti-Static Properties: Helps repel dust and fine barn debris, keeping the screen cleaner for longer periods between manual interventions.

Optimal Cleaning Procedure

To ensure the longest life for your TDS-2 hardware, follow these steps:

1. Rinse First: If the screen is heavily coated in mud or manure, gently rinse it with clean water first to remove abrasive particles.
2. Apply Maxx: Spray a small amount of the Maxx cleaner onto a clean microfiber cloth rather than directly onto the screen to prevent liquid from seeping into the seals.
3. Wipe Gently: Use a circular motion to lift oils and spots.
4. Dry: Use a dry section of the microfiber to buff the screen until it is crystal clear.

Maintenance Insight

A dirty TDS screen is the #1 cause of "Teat Not Found" errors. Even a fingerprint or a thin layer of dust can scatter the laser light, causing the robot arm to "hunt" or miss the teat entirely. Incorporating the Maxx 750ml cleaner into your daily robot check-up can significantly improve your robot's attachment speed and overall throughput.
