A method for operating an electric drivetrain of a working machine is provided wherein, the drivetrain includes a work drive with a hydraulic work device and an electric work motor, and a travel drive with an electric travel motor. The method includes operating the work drive independently of the travel drive, and supplying a power demanded by the work drive taking into account an efficiency of the work motor and an efficiency of the work device.

A power machine can include a frame, a lift arm, and one or more electrical devices for control of one or more work elements. The electrical devices can be controlled to improve positional accuracy for work elements during work operations, to improve power management and customer experience (e.g., to provide smoother ride during drive operations), and to provide float functionality for work elements.

A work equipment for controllably performing work, includes: a work mechanism; a touch-sensitive device configured to output a desired position signal corresponding to a desired position of the work mechanism, the touch-sensitive device selectively operatively including a virtual mechanical control associated with producing the desired position signal; and a controller operatively coupled to the touch-sensitive device and the work mechanism, the controller configured to output an adjustment signal to the work mechanism to adjust an actual position of the work mechanism based at least partially on the desired position signal, the touch-sensitive device being configured to output the desired position signal to the controller when at least one control object is moved along the touch-sensitive device with respect to the virtual mechanical control in a manner that mimics operating a mechanical control.

A system has a hydraulic circuit configured to control a position of an attachment of the system and a control system configured to perform operations that include receiving an input indicative of a center of gravity of the attachment and controlling a flow rate of fluid directed through the hydraulic circuit based on the center of gravity.

A first payload computation value which represents a weight of loads loaded on the work implement in a first attitude is obtained. The first attitude and a second attitude are equal to each other in ratio between a horizontal distance from a position of a center of gravity of a first link member to a base end of the first link member and a horizontal distance from a position of the center of gravity of the loads loaded on the work implement to the base end. A second payload computation value which represents a weight of loads loaded on the work implement in the second attitude is obtained. When the first payload computation value and the second payload computation value are determined as being different from each other, a weight of a second link member is changed and processing above is repeated.

An excavator includes a traveling body, an upper turning body rotatably provided on the traveling body, an attachment which has a boom, an arm, and a bucket and is attached to the upper turning body, and a controller configured to perform a control of a cylinder of at least one shaft of the attachment so as to suppress a vibration of the traveling body or the upper turning body, which is caused by an aerial operation of the attachment.

The invention relates to a system for localizing an attachment tool for a work device comprising a first communication unit connect to an attachment tool and having a first acceleration sensor that is configured to provide a first acceleration signal relating to an instantaneous acceleration of the attachment tool; a second communication unit connected to the work device in the region of a connection region for the attachment tool and having a second acceleration sensor that is configured to provide a second acceleration signal relating to an instantaneous acceleration of the connection region; and an identification module that is coupled to the first and/or second communication unit(s) and that is configured to obtain the first and second acceleration signals and to enable a safe allocation of the attachment tool to the work device by evaluating the signals.

A first processor determines a loaded state of a bucket, makes a determination that a traveling apparatus has performed an operation for shifting from a rearward movement state to a state (forward movement or stop) other than the rearward movement state in the loaded state, and calculates a load weight of the bucket from a detection value of a work implement sensor (first hydraulic pressure detectors and a first angle detector) based on the determination.

A work machine includes a chassis, a boom coupled to the chassis, and a work implement coupled to the boom and movable relative to the chassis. In system may further include dynamic payload weighing system configured to measure the payload weight on the work implement.
