Automatic tilt control
An industrial machine and methods for providing automatic tilt control for the same. One method includes determining a current tooth vector of a tooth included on a bucket of the industrial machine and a current path vector of the tooth and determining a current digging angle between the current tooth vector and the current path vector. The method also includes determining a delta angle based on the current digging angle and a target angle and automatically adjusting a tilt of the bucket based on the delta angle.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ESTIMATING A PAYLOAD OF AN INDUSTRIAL MACHINE
A method of determining payload data of a mining machine having a bucket and a handle. The bucket and handle are rotatably coupled via a pin and an actuator. The method includes sensing, via a sensor, a force associated with the actuator, determining, via a controller, a characteristic indicative of a rotational angle of the bucket, and determining, via the controller, payload data based on the force and the characteristic.

System and method for estimating a payload of an industrial machine
A method of determining payload data of a mining machine having a bucket and a handle. Wherein, the bucket and handle are rotatably coupled via a pin and an actuator. The method includes sensing, via a first sensor, a first force associated with the actuator and sensing, via a second sensor, a second force associated with the bucket. The method further includes determining, via a controller, a rotational angle of the bucket and determining, via the controller, payload data based on the first force, the second force, and the rotational angle.

Conduit support system
An industrial machine includes a frame supporting a boom having a first end and a second end opposite the first end, an arm movably coupled to the boom and including a first end and a second end, an attachment coupled to the first end of the arm, a conduit extending from the frame to a position adjacent the attachment, a first member coupled to the boom, and a second member spaced apart from the first member. The first member supports a portion of the conduit as the arm moves relative to the boom. The second member supports a portion of the conduit as the arm moves relative to the boom. The second member is movable relative to the first member.
