Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system for determining a ripping path includes a position sensing system, a work implement, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine a plurality of positions of the machine as the machine moves along an operating path and the work implement moves a volume of material and sense the material characteristics of at each of the plurality of positions along the operating path. The controller is further configured to determine the ripping path based upon the material characteristics sensed at the plurality of positions and store the ripping path.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A system for determining a ripping path to be ripped by a ground engaging ripper of a machine, comprising: a position sensing system associated with the machine for determining a position of the machine; a blade configured to engage and move a volume of material along an operating path; and a controller configured to: determine a plurality of positions of the machine based upon the position sensing system as the machine moves along the operating p…
