There are two main types of irrigation machines including pulverization systems, namely the central pivot machines moving along a circumferential path and the linear machines moving along a straight path, as well as a third type of machine, namely the corner type machine which is adapted to central pivot machines to move over the corner portions of a field. The central pivot machines operates as a radius vector that spins on a central base or tower and comprises a plurality of spans or irrigation units which move independently, following an electromechanically aligned pattern.
