  • Publication number: 20170129088
    Abstract: A control system for a hydraulic hammer is provided. The control system includes a sensing unit configured to sense position and rebound acceleration of a piston of the hydraulic hammer. The control system further includes an electronic control module (ECM) in communication with the sensing unit, and configured to generate signals based on the sensed position and rebound acceleration of the piston. The control system further includes a selection unit configured to allow an operator to select between a manual mode and an automatic mode. The control system further includes a valve in communication with the electronic control module (ECM). The valve being configured to be operated between a closed position and an open position based on the signals generated by the electronic control module (ECM) to selectively move the piston.

  • Publication number: 20150073578
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for converting a three dimensional model to a non-application specific format that is used for sheet metal manufacturing is provided. The method includes receiving a user input, via a Graphical User Interface (GUI), to select the non-application specific format from a defined group of non-application specific formats. The method also includes receiving a user input, via the GUI, to select the three dimensional model that has multiple surfaces from a database, receiving a user input, via the GUI, to select a surface and receiving a user input, via the GUI, to select a feature that is unrelated to the sheet metal manufacturing. The method includes removing the feature to create a two dimensional model of the selected surface, converting the two dimensional model to the selected non-application specific format and creating a file corresponding to the two dimensional model in the selected non-application specific format.
