First Claim
Patent Images
1. A payload calculation system for use with a work implement, comprising:
- a state sensor configured to measure a state of the work implement; and
a processing device configured to calculate a mass of a payload moved by the work implement, the processing device being configured to use the measured state to compensate the calculation of the mass for centrifugal, inertial, and frictional forces of the work implement caused by the work implement rotating about a vertical pivot.

Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a payload calculation system for use with a work implement. The payload calculation system may have a state sensor configured to measure a state of the work implement. The payload calculation system may further have a processing device configured to calculate a mass of a payload moved by the work implement. The processing device may be configured to use the measured state to compensate the calculation of the mass for centrifugal, inertial, and frictional forces of the work implement caused by the work implement rotating about a vertical pivot.

9. A method of calculating a mass of a payload, comprising:
-
actuating a work implement to move a payload; measuring a state of the work implement; calculating a mass of the payload moved by the work implement using the measured state; and compensating the calculation of the mass for centrifugal, inertial, and frictional forces of the work implement caused by the work implement rotating about an axis that is substantially normal to a work surface. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
