Mixing machine system

A mixing machine, comprising:

• a head extending over a bowl receiving location, the head including a downwardly extending rotatable output shaft for receiving a mixer tool, the head including a planetary system therewithin for effecting rotation of the rotatable output shaft about its axis and orbiting of the shaft axis about another axis;
• a motor having an output operatively connected to drive the planetary system;
• a control system including a plurality of sensors, each sensor located for detecting a respective condition of the mixing machine, a memory and a diagnostic control configured to (i) track outputs from the plurality of sensors over time by storing the outputs in the memory, (ii) analyze the outputs stored in the memory and (iii) produce an alert indication based upon the diagnostic control identifying, from analysis of the outputs stored in the memory, a performance characteristic indicative of a need for service or repair of the mixing machine;
• wherein the diagnostic control is further configured to disable a specific function of the mixing machine when the diagnostic control identifies the performance characteristic indicative of a need for service or repair of the mixing machine.

A mixing machine, comprising:

• a head extending over a bowl receiving location, the head including a downwardly extending rotatable output shaft for receiving a mixer tool, the head including a gear system therewithin for effecting rotation of the rotatable output shaft about its axis and orbiting of the shaft axis about another axis;
• a motor having an output operatively connected to drive the gear system;
• a control system including a drive for operating the motor, at least one sensor located for detecting a specific condition of the mixing machine, a memory and a diagnostic control configured to (i) track outputs from the sensor over time by storing the outputs in the memory, (ii) analyze the outputs stored in memory and (iii) produce an alert indication based upon the diagnostic control identifying, based upon the analysis of the outputs stored in memory, a performance characteristic associated with the specific condition and indicative of a need for service or repair of the mixing machine;
• wherein the specific condition is one of a motor temperature condition, a motor shaft speed condition, a transmission temperature condition, an input current condition, an output current condition, a power consumption condition, an output shaft speed condition, or a vibration condition.
