Abstract:
A fluid power control system for load handling mobile equipment includes a pair of hydraulic actuators for moving respective cooperating load-engaging members selectively toward or away from each other, or in a common direction, at respective asynchronous speeds to selectively attain either synchronous or asynchronous respective positions of the actuators. The actuators have sensors enabling a controller to monitor their respective movements and correct unintended differences in the actuators' respective movements, such as unintended differences in relative intended positions, speeds, or rates of change of speeds. Respective hydraulic valves responsive to the controller separately and nonsimultaneously decrease respective flows through the respective actuators to more accurately and rapidly correct differences from the intended relative movements of the actuators.

Claim (Index 1):
A fluid power control system configured to regulate respective flows of hydraulic fluid through oppositely facing respective first and second hydraulic actuators for selectively moving respective load-engaging members substantially laterally toward or away from each other, said control system comprising:\n (a) an electrically-controlled fluid-power valve assembly including a valve controller, automatically operable to regulate said respective flows of hydraulic fluid through said actuators so as to control substantially lateral movement of said first hydraulic actuator separately from movement of said second hydraulic actuator; (b) a sensor assembly operable to enable said valve controller to sense a difference in said lateral movement, between said first hydraulic actuator and said second hydraulic actuator, and to generate a signal in response to said difference; (c) said electrically-controlled fluid-power valve assembly being operable, automatically in response to said signal, to decrease said difference by variably decreasing said respective flow of hydraulic fluid through said second hydraulic actuator substantially in proportion to said difference, while simultaneously enabling said respective flow of hydraulic fluid through said first hydraulic actuator without regulation thereof.
