  • Patent number: 9896819
    Abstract: An industrial machine and a method of controlling an industrial machine, the industrial machine including a dipper supported by a dipper handle. The method may include determining an operating phase of the industrial machine, in a first operating phase of the industrial machine, limiting, with at least one controller, a reach of the dipper handle, and in a second operating phase of the industrial machine, enabling, with the at least one controller, an extended reach of the dipper handle greater than the reach in the first operating phase. The industrial machine may include at least one controller configured to determine an operating phase of the industrial machine, in a first operating phase of the industrial machine, limit a reach of the dipper handle, and, in a second operating phase of the industrial machine, enable an extended reach of the dipper handle greater than the reach in the first operating phase.

  • Patent number: 9302267
    Abstract: A pick holder for a roll sizer, the roll sizer including at least one roll drum defining a drum axis, the roll drum rotating about the drum axis. The pick holder includes a base and a shoulder. The base includes at least one hole for receiving a fastener for removably coupling the pick holder to the roll drum. The shoulder is coupled to the base.

  • Patent number: 8967507
    Abstract: A moveable shaft assembly including a frame, a first shaft, and a first drive assembly. The frame includes a first support wall and a second support wall opposite the first support wall. The first shaft includes a drive end and a support end and defining a first axis therebetween. The first shaft extends between the first support wall and the second support wall. The first drive assembly rotates the first shaft about the first axis, and the first drive assembly is coupled to the drive end of the first shaft. The first shaft and first drive assembly are moveable relative to the frame in response to a reaction force acting on the first shaft in a direction oblique or transverse to the first axis.

  • Patent number: 8616483
    Abstract: A shaft support for a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft. The shaft support includes a housing, a first bearing, and a second bearing. The housing includes a first portion, a second portion, and a transition portion connecting the first portion and the second portion. The first bearing is coupled to the first portion. The first bearing rotatably supports the first shaft and resists at least a portion of a first radial load exerted on the first shaft. The second bearing is coupled to the second portion and rotatably supports the second shaft. At least a portion of the first radial load is transmitted to the transition portion from the first bearing.
