Abstract: A system for monitoring electrical contacts for an overhead trolley line may include a wear sensor arranged such that an electrical contact on a vehicle or work machine for contacting the overhead trolley line is continually or periodically in its line of sight. The wear sensor may be configured to capture spatial data defining the surface profile of the electrical contact. The system may also include a data processing module configured to receive the spatial data and identify a defect in the electrical contact based on the spatial data.

Abstract: A mounting structure for supporting one or more pantographs in a machine is disclosed. The mounting structure includes a bottom support structure and a middle support structure removably mounted on the bottom support structure. The middle support structure includes a pair of secondary front legs removably coupled to the pair of primary front legs. The middle support structure includes reinforcement members for removably connecting the top portion of one of a secondary front leg and a rear leg with a deck. The mounting structure includes a top platform removably mounted on the middle support structure for supporting the pantographs. The top platform includes a first supporting member and a second supporting member. Each of the first supporting member and the second supporting member is supported along a first side arm and a second side arm of the deck, respectively.

Abstract: An electric drive control system for a machine is provided. The electric drive control system includes a sensor and a drivetrain control module operatively coupled to the sensor. The sensor is configured to determine one or more operational parameters associated with the machine. The drivetrain control module is further operatively coupled to a power source controller associated with a power source and a generator controller associated with a generator. The drivetrain control module is configured to determine a desired operating mode of the machine and selectively regulate one or parameters associated with the power source based on a predefined dataset corresponding to the desired operating mode of the machine. The drivetrain control module is further configured to selectively adjust an amount of power produced by the generator based on the predefined dataset corresponding to the desired operating mode of the machine.
