Abstract: A machine includes a work implement and at least one camera arranged to capture a video image of a viewed area and provide a video signal related to the viewed area to a controller. The controller compiles a visual display in which the current position and a current direction of the work implement relative to the viewed area is displayed in real time. The controller also calculates a trajectory of the work implement based on machine speed and steering signals to compile a visual trajectory representation of the work implement relative to the viewed area, which is combined with the visual display into a combined visual representation that is presented to an operator through a video display.

Abstract: Disclosed is an anti-slab height control system and related method for regulating the elevational position of an anti-slab mounted to a cold planer configured for milling a roadway. The cold planer includes a milling drum. The system comprises an anti-slab, a position sensor, a controller and an actuator. The controller is configured to determine an actuator adjustment based on a predetermined height, position data and a cutting depth of the milling drum. The position data is indicative of a current elevational position of the anti-slab. The actuator is configured to move the anti-slab based on the actuator adjustment from the current elevational position to a first elevational position, wherein the bottom side of the anti-slab is disposed at the predetermined height above the roadway when the anti-slab is in the first elevational position.

Abstract: A conveyor system for a cold planer is disclosed. The conveyor system may include a first conveyor, and a second conveyor configured to convey a milled material from the first conveyor to a discharge location. The second conveyor may include a first conveyor section, a second conveyor section, and a pivoted connection between the first conveyor section and the second conveyor section. The pivoted connection may provide movement of the second conveyor section relative to the first conveyor section during an operating state of the cold planer.

Abstract: A cold planer is disclosed. The cold planer includes a frame and a set of ground engaging members disposed adjacent to a rear end of the frame. The cold planer further includes a rotor disposed adjacent to the set of ground engaging members and configured to engage with a work surface. The cold planer further includes a rotary broom operatively coupled to the frame adjacent to the rear end thereof and disposed behind the rotor to sweep residual material from the work surface.

Abstract: A road planer for road milling or road planning operations implements a control system for forming a plurality of rumble strips in a work surface. The control system may receive a plurality of variables from an operator interface related to the desired configuration for the rumble strips including a depth-of-depression variable, a length-of-depression variable, and a distance-between-depressions variable. The control system may also determine one or more parameters regarding the operational status of the road planer. The control system processes the variables and/or parameters to adjust a height adjustment mechanism of the road planer thereby engaging and disengaging a cutting rotor with the work surface to from the rumble strips.
