Method Of Determining An Estimated Payload Weight Of A Work Machine And Device Configured To Determine An Estimated Payload Weight Value Of A Work Machine

Abstract

A method of determining an estimated payload weight of a work machine is provided, wherein the work machine comprises a boom and a boom lift electronic actuator configured to actuate the boom. The method comprises determining a preliminary estimated weight value of the payload using a net force on the boom lift electronic actuator and a position of the boom. The net force on the boom lift actuator is determined from a motor current of the boom lift electronic actuator, wherein the motor current is indicative of a motor torque and wherein the motor torque is indicative of a net force on the actuator. The method further comprises adjusting the preliminary estimated weight value to provide an estimated payload weight value, wherein the adjustment comprises filtering. The method further comprises outputting the estimated payload weight value.
