Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system for controlling an implement of a machine is disclosed. The system may have a machine velocity sensor that senses an actual machine velocity and a targeted machine velocity sensor that senses a targeted machine velocity. The system may also have a controller, and an actuator configured to move an implement responsive to commands received from the controller by an actuator controller. The controller may be configured to receive the actual machine velocity from the machine velocity sensor, receive the targeted machine velocity from the targeted machine velocity sensor, compare the actual machine velocity to the targeted machine velocity, and send a command to the actuator controller to shake the implement based on the comparison of the actual machine velocity to the targeted machine velocity.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method for controlling an implement of a machine comprising: receiving an actual machine velocity and a targeted machine velocity; comparing the actual machine velocity to the targeted machine velocity; determining a difference between the actual machine velocity and the targeted machine velocity; sending a command to an actuator controller to shake the implement based on a determination that the difference between the actual mac…
