A safety system for self-propelled operating machines has been granted a patent, comprising a processing unit with memory modules containing loading diagrams, limiting modules for controlling machine actuators based on load diagrams, measuring devices for acquiring operating parameters, and selection modules for choosing loading diagrams based on acquired parameters. The system is designed for machines with lifting arms and apparatuses for moving loads, with measuring devices positioned on the apparatuses to ensure safe operation.
The patent also includes a method for implementing the safety system, involving providing load diagrams for different apparatuses attached to the machine's lifting arm, recognizing the specific apparatus in use, measuring operating parameters with device sensors, and selecting appropriate load diagrams based on the acquired parameters. Additionally, a computer program is mentioned that, when executed on the processing unit, carries out the steps of the safety method outlined in the patent claims. This innovative safety system aims to enhance the operational safety of self-propelled operating machines by dynamically adjusting load capabilities based on real-time operating conditions and apparatus configurations.
