摘要： A method of operating machine system includes receiving expected material placement data for a paving machine and comparing the expected material placement data with actual material placement data. The method further includes outputting a signal based on the comparison, and commanding replenishing material from a supply machine to the second supply volume responsive to the signal. A paving control system for a paving system includes a computer readable memory configured to store expected material placement data, a receiver configured to receive actual material placement data and a data processor configured to output a control signal to a supply machine to controllably replenish material to an external material supply volume for the paving system in a manner responsive to comparing the expected material placement data with the actual material replacement data.

摘要： A control system for customizing a relationship between an operator input at an input controller and a corresponding response of a work machine is disclosed. The control system includes an input controller operable to receive an operator input and generate a corresponding control signal. The control system also includes a hand-held programmable device having parameters stored therein. The parameters are adjustable to control responsiveness of a component of the work machine over a range of inputs at the input controller. The hand-held programmable device is operable to adjust the parameters in response to an input from an operator. A control module is disposed on the work machine and is operable to receive signals from the hand-held programmable device. The signals are representative of a desired relationship between an operator input to the input controller and a corresponding response of the work machine. The control module is also operable to receive the control signal from the input controller and process the control signal based on the signals from the hand-held programmable device.

摘要： A method is provided for enhancing the repositioning of an excavating machine, including an excavating assemblage, from one set-up position to a next, subsequent set-up position. A joystick is controlled in implement control mode to operate at least one of a boom, a stick, and a bucket of the excavating assemblage during a first excavating phase from a first machine set-up position. The first excavating phase is terminated and, during a machine repositioning phase, the machine is moved to a second machine set-up position for a second excavating phase at the second machine set-up position. After terminating the first excavating phase and before moving the: machine to the second machine set-up position, an input/display device is accessed and activated to convert the joystick from implement control mode to machine control mode. At least machine steering and machine propulsion are controlled with the joystick set in the machine control mode during the machine repositioning phase. Before beginning the second excavating phase, an input/display device is accessed and activated to convert the joystick from machine control mode to implement control mode. The joystick is controlled in implement control mode to operate the excavating assemblage during the second excavating phase from the second machine set-up position.

摘要： A method is provided for controlling hydraulic flow to a hydraulic actuator in fluid communication with a pump. The method includes generating a signal representative of a speed of the pump and selecting a relationship from a plurality of relationships between valve commands and an operator input. The selection is based upon the speed signal. A valve is modulated to control the hydraulic flow to the hydraulic actuator based on the selected relationship and the operator input.

摘要： A method of controlling the movement of a work machine arm having a series of hydraulic cylinders operatively engaged with the work machine arm includes receiving a signal from an input device to change the position of the work machine arm and determining an extension amount of one or more of the series of hydraulic cylinders. The extension amount of one or more of the series of hydraulic cylinders is changed to effect the change in the position of the work machine arm. The changes in the extension amount of the one or more of the series of hydraulic cylinders are ordered based on a pre-selected priority of movement.

摘要： A track laying work vehicle has an undercarriage assembly including a rigid support beam and first and second roller frame assemblies, one on either side of the vehicle. Each roller frame assembly has first and second end portions and supports a rotatable idler wheel assembly at the first end portion and a powered drive wheel at the second end portion. Each drive wheel is frictionally engaged with a drive axle of the vehicle and can be engaged with the drive axle at a plurality of lateral positions on the axle. The first end portion of each roller frame assembly is releasably connected to one end of the support beam and is laterally moveable on the support beam. An endless track, such as an elastomeric belt, encircles a respective drive wheel, roller frame assembly, and idler wheel assembly on each side of the vehicle. By moving the track roller frame assembly and drive wheel laterally along the drive axle and support beam respectively, various gage settings of the endless track are provided.
