Problems solved by technology

Loading milled materials into a dump truck in excess of truck capacity or allowable limits can be undesirable.
Excessively heavy dump trucks can be hazardous on roadways and violate laws that set maximum weights for the dump trucks and their loads.
Current attempts to properly weigh milled materials have been largely unsuccessful.

Abstract

A milling machine adapted to remove milled material from a road. The milling machine may include a CAN based grade system operatively connected to a sensor and a milling drum, and a CAN Bus adapter operatively connected to the CAN based grade system. The milling machine may include a programmable logic controller operatively connected to the CAN Bus adapter. The milling drum selectively removes the milled material from the road, and the sensor provides a signal to the CAN based grade system, and the milling drum is positioned based on data from the CAN based grade system.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61256428, filed Oct. 30, 2009.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Accurately weighing materials in road construction operations is important. Loading milled materials into a dump truck in excess of truck capacity or allowable limits can be undesirable. Excessively heavy dump trucks can be hazardous on roadways and violate laws that set maximum weights for the dump trucks and their loads.[0003]Current attempts to properly weigh milled materials have been largely unsuccessful. There remains a long-felt need for a suitable means to weigh milled materials.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS[0004]FIG. 1 is a view in elevation of the right side of a milling machine in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.[0005]FIG. 2 is a schematic view of selected components used in a method to calculate the weight of milled materials of FIG. 1.[0006]FIG. 3 is a top plan view of a simplified view of milling machine...
