Abstract
A system for transporting an object comprises a first cylinder that is movable to cause movement of a first component of the system. A first sensor is operable to acquire position information related to a position of at least one of the first cylinder, the first component, or another component of the system. The system comprises an automated mode in which the position information provided by the first sensor is used to determine movement of the first component of the system.
Claims20
A system for transporting an object, the system comprising:
- a first cylinder that is movable to cause movement of a first component of the system;
- and
- a first sensor operable to acquire position information related to a position of at least one of the first cylinder, the first component, or another component of the system,
- wherein the system comprises an automated mode in which the position information provided by the first sensor is used to determine movement of the first component of the system.
A method for transporting an object, the method comprising:
- providing a first cylinder that is movable to cause movement of a first component of the system;
- and
- acquiring position information, using a first sensor, related to a position of at least one of the first cylinder, the first component, or another component of the system;
- adjusting fluid flow to the first cylinder based on the position information;
- and
- achieving a corresponding movement of the first component of the system based on the fluid flow adjustment.
A system for transporting an object, the system comprising:
- a first cylinder and at least one boom that are movable to cause movement of a fork frame;
- and
- a first sensor operable to acquire position information related to a position of at least one of the first cylinder, the at least one boom, or the fork frame,
- wherein the system comprises an automated mode in which the position information provided by the first sensor is used to determine movement of the fork frame.
