A mining machine includes a frame, a boom, an elongated member supported by a pivot element for movement relative to the boom, and a digging attachment. The boom includes a first end coupled to the frame and a second end opposite the first end. The pivot element is positioned between the first end and the second end of the boom. The hoist rope includes a portion extending over the second end of the boom. The member includes a first end, a second end, a first portion proximate the first end of the member, and a second portion positioned between the first portion and the second end of the member. At least a portion of the second portion is oriented at an angle relative to the first portion. The digging attachment is coupled to the second end of the member and is supported by the hoist rope.

A cartridge includes a body, an aperture extending through the body sized to receive a pivot pin, and a spherical bushing disposed within the body. The cartridge also includes a first internal seal disposed axially on one side of the bushing and a second internal seal disposed axially on an opposite side of the bushing. The cartridge also includes an end cap disposed at least partially within the aperture that abuts the bushing and prevents the bushing from moving axially in a first direction within the aperture.

A pin assembly for a piston block of a hydraulic cylinder includes a pin that is axially engaged with the piston block. The pin assembly also includes a floating bush that is spaced apart from the pin to receive a sleeve therebetween. The floating bush is also configured to exhibit axial and radial play in its movement relative to the sleeve. The axial and radial play in the movement of the floating bush allows the floating bush to align with a cap port of the cylinder housing prior to entering the cap port of the cylinder housing.

A tool holder includes a locking cylinder provided with two first gripping pins extending laterally from each side of the fixed part thereof, and two second gripping pins extending laterally from each side of the moving part thereof. The tool includes at least two reception assemblies each having a first receiving portion and a second receiving portion the openings of which are each facing and provided to receive one of the first gripping pins and one of the second gripping pins for retaining the tool on the tool holder. The tool is locked on the tool holder by means of the locking cylinder by moving each gripping pin into abutment at the bottom of the associated receiving portion thereof.

Methods and systems for operating an industrial machine. One system includes a controller that includes an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to calculate an eccentricity of a center of gravity of the industrial machine with respect to a center of a bearing propelling the industrial machine and calculate a ground pressure associated with the bearing based on the eccentricity of the center of gravity. The electronic processor is also configured to set a maximum torque applied by an actuator included in the industrial machine to a value less than an available maximum torque based on the eccentricity of the center of gravity and the ground pressure.

A shovel includes a traveling body, an upper turning body turnably provided on the traveling body, an attachment including a boom, an arm, and a bucket and attached to the upper turning body, and a processor. The processor is configured to correct the motion of the attachment in such a manner as to control a slip of the traveling body toward the back in the extension direction of the attachment.

A ground engaging tooth for a ground engaging machine is disclosed. The ground engaging tooth may comprise a non-ground-engaging end, a ground-engaging end, a body extending between the non-ground-engaging end, the ground-engaging end, a top surface, a bottom surface, a left surface and a right surface. Further, the ground engaging tooth may comprise a coupling side including a pocket configured to receive a retaining device. Moreover, the ground engaging tooth may comprise a wear side including an integral-wear-insert. The integral-wear-insert may longitudinally extend along the bottom surface towards the ground-engaging end and vertically extend towards the top surface at the ground-engaging end.

A handle configured to attach an implement to an industrial machine. The handle includes a first member, a second member, and a third member extending between the first member and the second member. The third member includes a first transition extending toward the first member and a second transition extending toward the second member.

A control system implemented for in-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) operations employing a shovel machine and a crusher machine is provided. The shovel machine includes an implement configured to excavate a material from a worksite and load the material into a hopper of the crusher machine. The control system includes a position determination module, an excavation determination module, and a path determination module. The path determination module is configured to determine one or more travel paths, with a plurality of loading positions, for the shovel machine and the crusher machine. The plurality of loading positions is based at least in part on the relative position of the shovel machine and the crusher machine and a plurality of excavation positions, such that at each of the plurality of loading positions, the implement traverses an arc passing above the hopper.

Embodiments described herein provide systems and methods for generating a three-dimensional virtual track model. This track model may be used, for example, in collision prevention and mitigation systems and methods, such as those described herein, and in other collision prevention and mitigation systems and other mining systems using virtual track models. In some embodiments, the systems and methods described herein provide a simplified modeling process that enables quick, accurate modeling of tracks of a mining machine that can account for custom tracks that vary in size depending on the particular mining machine.
