  • Patent number: 11965314
    Abstract: A method for actuating the movement of a boom, or an attachment, in a work vehicle includes determining a joystick position difference between the actual component of the position of the joystick along a boom, or attachment, actuation axis in a first time instant and a neutral position of the joystick along the boom, or attachment, actuation axis, determining a first position of the boom, or attachment, along the boom travel path in the first time instant, and a second position of the boom, or attachment, along the boom travel path in a second time instant, and determining a boom, or attachment, position difference between the second position and the first position. If the determined boom, or attachment, position difference is lower than a threshold and the determined joystick position difference is higher than a joystick position difference threshold, the method also includes slowing movement of the boom, or attachment.

  • Publication number: 20230358021
    Abstract: A control method for executing a floating function of a boom in a work vehicle includes determining that a predetermined floating function activation command has been inputted by the operator by means of a command input means. When the floating function activation command has been inputted by the operator, acquiring, a signal or data indicative of the current position of the boom along a travel path of the boom over time, the travel path including a first section between a boom full extension position and a deceleration position, a second section between the deceleration position and a grounding position, and a third section between the grounding position and a full retract position, and moving the boom from the current position, determined based on the signal or data indicative of the position of the boom, to the full retract position.

  • Publication number: 20230358013
    Abstract: Control method for actuating a loader (WL) comprising an arm (B) to which a bucket (BK) is connected, the method comprising in cyclic execution checks (FB) that a first mono-stable button is depressed, if it is depressed, then execution (Sequence) of the following sequence of operations: unloading, shaking, returning to dig position or if the vehicle is equipped with a 4 in 1 shovel: unloading, 4 in 1 shovel opening, shaking, 4 in 1 shovel closing, returning to dig position, otherwise if the first button (FB) is released then stop (STOP) of the execution of the sequence.
