Patent ID: 8600565

Claim:
A control system of an auger mixing machine that controls a plurality of augers, comprising: a data input unit; and a processing unit configured to receive data input from the data input unit and to generate and distribute a plurality of output signals that are derived from the data input, each of the plurality of output signals including at least one control setting for a first auger, the at least one control setting including a position for the first auger relative to a position for a second auger, wherein the first auger is a rear auger and the second auger is a front auger, such that the position of the rear auger is determined relative to the position of the front auger, wherein the relative positions of the front and rear augers are angular positions defined by a smallest radial angle theta between corresponding radial points on the front and rear augers, and wherein the angle theta indicates the angular position of the rear auger in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction relative to the angular position of the front auger.
