Abstract
A radial frequency of clip control system includes a steering angle sensor for a steerable rear wheel of a grass mowing machine, a pedal sensor for sensing an operator input for a desired ground speed at a reference point adjacent an operator seat on the grass mowing machine; and an electronic controller that uses the desired ground speed and location of each of a plurality of reel cutting units to calculate a rotational speed for each of the plurality of reel cutting units.
Claims10
A radial frequency of clip control system, comprising:
- a controller that provides a plurality of different rotational speed commands to a plurality of reel cutting units based on a sensor input for a turning angle of a steerable rear wheel of a grass mowing machine and a calculated distance of each reel cutting unit to an instantaneous turn center of the grass mowing machine.
A radial frequency of clip control system, comprising the steps of:
- sensing a steering angle of a steerable rear wheel on a triplex greensmower;
- sensing a pedal input for a desired speed at a reference point on the triplex greensmower;
- providing reel rotational speed commands to each of a plurality of reel cutting units, the rotational speed commands being a function of the sensed steering angle, the sensed pedal input, the location of the reference point, and at least one dimension of the triplex greensmower.
A radial frequency of clip control system, comprising:
- a steering angle sensor for a steerable rear wheel on a grass mowing machine;
- a pedal sensor for sensing an operator input for a desired ground speed at a reference point adjacent an operator seat on the grass mowing machine;
- and
- an electronic controller that uses the desired ground speed and location of each of a plurality of reel cutting units to calculate a rotational speed for each of the plurality of reel cutting units.
