System and method for automated payload target tipoff

A payload detection system for automated payload tip-off of a loading operation, the system comprising:

• a tip-off controller configured to:
• receive a signal of a remaining payload target;
• receive a signal of a material weight within an implement and a signal of an angle of the implement;
• determine a tip-off threshold based on the material weight and the remaining payload target;
• wherein a difference between the material weight and the remaining payload target greater than the tip-off threshold triggers a bulk dump sequence, and the difference below the tip-off threshold triggers a slow dump sequence;
• the bulk dump sequence including a single implement actuation to induce material spill until the tip-off threshold is met and the material is staged;
• and
• the slow dump sequence including a plurality of dump then rack actuations to induce and then prevent material spill until the remaining payload target is met, each dump actuation having an associated dump angle and each successive dump angle is progressively smaller.

A haul machine comprising:

• an implement configured to hold a payload therein;
• a payload detection unit having at least one sensor for generating a signal of a material weight within the implement and at least one sensor for generating a signal of an angle of the implement;
• a display unit for displaying a user interface including at least one of operator-selectable graphical element configured to initiate an automated tip-off operation;
• a tip-off controller configured to:
• receive a signal of a remaining payload target;
• receive a signal of a material weight within the implement and a signal of an angle of the implement;
• determine a tip-off threshold based on the material weight and the remaining payload target;
• wherein a difference between the material weight and the remaining payload target greater than the tip-off threshold triggers a bulk dump sequence, and the difference below the tip-off threshold triggers a slow dump sequence;
• the bulk dump sequence including a single implement actuation to induce material spill until the tip-off threshold is met and the material is staged;
• and
• the slow dump sequence including a plurality of dump then rack actuations to induce and then prevent material spill until the remaining payload target is met, each dump actuation having an associated dump angle and each successive dump angle is progressively smaller.
