  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PROPORTION OF LIQUID IN SUBSTRATE MATERIAL WORKED BY MACHINE
    Publication number: 20190360163
    Abstract: A machine includes a material working mechanism movable relative to a frame to vary working depth of the material working mechanism. A control system monitors certain parameters, and controls a liquid dispensing mechanism to control application of a liquid such as water or an emulsion to be applied to material being worked by the material working mechanism based upon the parameters. The control system functions to produce a desired proportion of the liquid such as a liquid percent density in worked material.
