Abstract: A work machine, such as an excavator or a backhoe, has a linkage of articulating arms for maneuvering a changeable work tool. Position and motion sensors and force sensors within the linkage provide data for a controller to determine a location of the work tool and down force applied from the linkage onto the work tool during a job. Based on characteristics of the work tool, an acceptable range of down force applied by the linkage may be assigned. If down force reaches an outer bound of the acceptable range during the job, the controller may generate an alert for the operator or adjust action by the work tool to maintain the down force within the acceptable range. Depending on the work tool and job, the down-force control can help improve work quality and guard against tool damage from dry-fire or overload conditions.

Abstract: A work machine, such as an excavator or a backhoe, has a linkage of articulating arms for maneuvering a changeable work tool. Position and motion sensors and force sensors within the linkage provide data for a controller to determine a location of the work tool and down force applied from the linkage onto the work tool during a job. Before performing a grading operation, an operator may request level control for the work tool at a benchmark orientation and down-force control at a target down force. After a controller applies the target down force with the work tool at the benchmark orientation, an operator may traverse the work tool along a path radial to the work machine. While maintaining the benchmark orientation for the work tool, the controller may adjust one or more forces on the linkage to also maintain the target down force during the traversal of the work tool, leading to simpler functionality for the operator and higher quality work product.

The sanitizing device provides an outer cover adapted to move between a closed condition and an open condition for maintenance. The outer cover is also adapted to mount the sanitizing device in a downward orientation relative to the UV radiating device.
