CLEANING DEVICE
20170260704 · 2017-09-14 · ·

A cleaning device includes a chassis that can be moved over a ground surface. The cleaning device further includes a space in which a roller-shaped brush provided with bristles is arranged in a rotatable manner about an axle in such a way that the ground can be brushed therewith. The space is connected to an outlet channel for the removal of material brushed away by the bristles. An air channel is arranged in the brush and coaxially with the axle. The air channel has a series of openings directed towards the outlet channel and open between the bristles.

Machine, system, and method for automated milling exit cut operation

A milling machine, system, and method for implementing an exit cut operation raises a rotor from a state where the rotor contacts ground surface material responsive to a control input at an operator control interface of the milling machine. The rate at which the rotor is raised can increase as the rotor is raised. When the rotor is determined to have reached a top surface of the ground surface material the rotor can be raised at a maximum rate.
