MILLING MACHINE HAVING PIVOT ARMS OFFSET FROM ENGINE OUTPUT SHAFT
A milling machine may include a frame. The milling machine may include a first wheel and a second wheel connected to a first end of the frame, and a third wheel connected to a second end of the frame. The milling machine may include a first leg, a second leg, and a third leg connecting the frame and the first wheel, the second wheel, and the third wheel, respectively. The milling machine may include a pair of arms pivotably connected to opposite sides of the frame. The milling machine may have a milling drum rotatably connected to the arms with a rotational axis parallel to the pivot axis. Further, the milling machine may have an engine that rotates the milling drum via a transmission. An output shaft of the engine positioned transverse to the frame may have an output shaft axis spaced apart from the pivot axis of the arms.
HYDRAULIC OSCILLATION MITIGATION SYSTEM FOR WORKING MACHINE
A hydraulic system for controlling a hydraulic circuit of a working machine is disclosed. The hydraulic system can include a first hydraulic cylinder assembly, a second hydraulic cylinder assembly, a third hydraulic cylinder assembly and a valve. When coupled to the first hydraulic cylinder assembly and the second hydraulic cylinder assembly, the third hydraulic cylinder assembly can be configured to control a flow of a hydraulic fluid between the first hydraulic cylinder assembly and the second hydraulic cylinder assembly to limit an extent of travel of the first piston and an extent of travel of the second piston.
Pavement Repair Method and System Thereof
A method for repairing/treating a pavement with the use of a rheology modifier is disclosed. The method comprises first applying a layer of a rheology modifier composition comprising a rejuvenating component onto the top surface of the pavement that needs repair, then applying a second layer of a binder onto the rheology modifier layer. The second layer of binder effectively seals the rheology modifier layer with the rejuvenating component for intimate contact with the top pavement surface, thus penetrating the surface layer to extend the life of the pavement surface, arresting the deterioration of visco-elastic properties and restoring some of those properties.
METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING AN ARTIFICIAL TURF SYSTEM AND SUCH A SYSTEM
A method for manufacturing an artificial turf system provides for collecting infill from an existing artificial turf, wherein the collected infill comprises collected rubber granulates, mixing the collected rubber granulates and a binding agent for generating an elastic binding composition, applying the elastic binding composition over a base layer or over an optional existing artificial turf on top of the base layer, and applying a new artificial turf over the elastic binding composition, and the artificial turf system generated therein.
Tool exposed status and lockouts
An implement with a ground-engaging tool may include a frame supported above a surface of a ground by a ground-engaging portion and a suspension, a tool supported by and adjustable relative to the frame and configured for working the ground, a housing arranged around portions of the tool and secured to the frame, and a monitor system configured for identifying an exposed condition of the tool. A method of managing an exposed condition of a ground-engaging tool and a method of operating an implement with a ground-engaging tool are also described.
ASPHALT RECLAIMER WITH TOP HEATING LID
Portable asphalt reclaimer having a pivotable lid with an integral heating element, and an asphalt holding chamber containing a grate. Asphalt may be reclaimed by placing asphalt chunks on the grate, heating them from above using the heating element in the lid until asphalt falls through the holes in the grate. The asphalt may be removed through a lower door. The pivotable lid may be detachable to separately heat the ground surface to which asphalt is to be applied.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ACTIVATING MACHINE COMPONENTS
A method includes receiving first information indicative of a first selection of a machine disposed at a worksite, wherein the first information is received from an electronic device disposed remote from the worksite. The method also includes receiving second information from the electronic device, wherein the second information is indicative of a second selection of a component of the machine. The method further includes determining, using at least one sensor, that an area surrounding the machine is free from unknown objects, and receiving third information indicative of a request to activate the component. The method also includes causing activation of the component based at least in part on the third information.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PLUNGE VELOCITY FOR MILLING AND RECLAIMING MACHINES
A milling machine can include a frame; a cutting rotor coupled to the frame, the cutting rotor configured to be lowered a selected distance into a surface; and a controller, the controller being configured to control a plunge rate of the cutting rotor into the surface based on a measured density of the surface.
Self-propelled construction machine and method for working ground pavements
In a self-propelled construction machine (1), in particular road milling machine, recycler, stabilizer or surface miner, comprising a machine frame (4), at least two travelling devices (2), at least one hydraulic drive system (50) for driving at least two travelling devices (2), at least one working device, in particular a milling drum (6), for working the ground pavement (3), it is provided for the following features to be achieved: a detection device (44, 60, 62) is provided which detects fluctuations in the longitudinal speed (v.sub.act) of the construction machine (1) during movement of the construction machine (1), wherein a control unit (38) controls the hydraulic drive system (50) as a function of the detected fluctuations in such a fashion that the drive speed (v.sub.drive) for driving the travelling devices (2) specified by means of the hydraulic drive system (50) is continuously adjusted so that the detected fluctuations are reduced or compensated for.
Construction machine with control system configured to calculate various outputs
A machine for road work, the machine can comprise: a frame; a rotor coupled to the frame and configured for rotational movement relative thereto; a milling system actuator configured to raise and lower the rotor to selectively disengage and engage with a surface of a working area; a first position sensor configured to sense a first position of a left side of the rotor relative to the surface; a second position sensor configured to sense a second position of a right side of the rotor relative to the surface; and a controller configured to, in response to signals received from the first position sensor and the second position senor, determine at least a cross-sectional area of the rotor that is engaging the surface.
