An attachment holder for construction equipment includes a movable-side pin guidance surface that guides a movable-side coupling pin to a movable-side pin accommodation portion. The attachment holder also includes an excessive closure prevention portion that prevents a movable-side jaw from closing excessively with respect to a stationary-side jaw to enable the movable-side coupling pin to come into contact with a movable-side pin guidance surface, whether the movable-side coupling pin of an attachment for construction equipment that has a minimum pin-to-pin spacing or a maximum pin-to-pin spacing, in a case in which the movable-side coupling pin is to be accommodated in the movable-side pin accommodation portion by operating, for example, an arm of the construction machine so as to move the movable-side jaw closer to the movable-side coupling pin after the stationary-side coupling pin is accommodated in the stationary-side pin accommodation portion.

Embodiments described herein provide systems and methods for preventing and mitigating collisions between components of an industrial machine. The industrial machine includes an electronic controller, having an electronic processor and a memory, that is configured to receive dipper position data indicative of a position of the dipper and determine a distance between the dipper and tracks of the industrial machine based on the dipper position data. The electronic controller is further configured to set a motion command limit for a dipper motion based on the distance, the dipper motion being selected from a group of a swing motion, a crowd motion, and a hoist motion and control the dipper motion according to a dipper motion command limited by the motion command limit.

An excavator managing device has a communication device, a storage device, and a processing device. The processing device receives machine identification information of an excavator and operation information representing the operation status of the excavator from the excavator through the communication device. In addition, machine identification information of an excavator and failure classification information of the excavator are received from a support device through the communication device. Thereafter, the failure classification information and the operation information are stored in the storage device in association with each other. With the excavator managing device having this configuration, past repair experience can be easily applied to future repair operations.

A damper for dampening rotation of a dipper door relative to a dipper body of a mining shovel includes a shaft, an arm, and a high pressure fluid seal. The shaft supported for rotation about a shaft axis, and rotation of the shaft is dampened by fluid in an enclosed chamber. The high pressure fluid seal engages an outer surface of the shaft at a position between the first end of the shaft and the second end of the shaft. The high pressure fluid seal engages an outer surface of the shaft and includes a low pressure side and a high pressure side adjacent a shaft cavity. The arm includes a first end coupled to the first end of the shaft, and a second end coupled to the dipper door or the dipper body such that rotation of the dipper door drives the arm to rotate the shaft.

A system for an excavating machine includes a control system comprising a processing system, one or more sensors, a user interface, and a vision system, wherein the control system receives input signals from the user interface, the one or more sensors, and the vision system; and a motor in communication with the control system and the motor adapted to control movement of a portion of the excavating machine. The processing system can control operation of the motor.

A system and method for collecting operational vibration data for a mining machine. The method includes, receiving at least one motion command. The method further includes, controlling at least one component based on the at least one motion command. The method further includes determining, by an electronic processor, at least one predicate parameter. The method further includes determining, by the electronic processor, whether the predicate parameter is true. The method further includes, while the at least one component is being controlled based on the motion command and the at least one predicate parameter is true, receiving, from a plurality of sensors, each of the plurality of sensors positioned at one of a plurality of measurement points on the at least one component of the mining machine, a plurality of vibration data sets.

A shovel includes a first pump 14L; a second pump 14R; a hydraulic swing motor 21; a pump/motor 14A configured to generate an engine-assist torque in response to hydraulic oil from the hydraulic swing motor 21 during swing deceleration; an accumulator 80 configured to accumulate the hydraulic oil flowing out of the hydraulic swing motor 21 during swing deceleration; a regeneration valve 22G configured to switch open/close of transfer from a discharge port 21L to the pump/motor 14A and the accumulator 80; and a controller configured to control the regeneration valve 22G. During swing deceleration, the controller adjusts an open area of the regeneration valve 22G in such a way that a swing flowing-out pressure becomes a swing braking target pressure, and causes the hydraulic oil flowing out of the hydraulic swing motor 21 to flow into the pump/motor 14A and the accumulator 80 at the same pressure.

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.

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.

An bucket for a rope shovel provides a structure which is resistant to great mechanical forces and stress during operation of the bucket. The bucket comprises a tubular body (11) with an interior having a closed curvature (8). The tubular body (11) is formed by at least one plate (4) which is folded until its ends are butted and has weld beads (9a, 9b, 9c) and/or weld plugs (9c) to form the body (11) with a tubular shape. The tubular body (11) has an exterior with reinforcement layers (12, 13, 14, 15) comprising at least a plate (4). The lower front portion of the tubular body (11) has a lip (25) which is formed sheets (25a, 25b, 25c, 25d) that are overlapped and nested. Each sheet is formed by at least one plate (4). The upper portion of the tubular body (11) has engagement supports (20, 21, 22 which are also made of at least one plate (4).
