Abstract

An industrial task machine includes a mechanical arm and a hydraulic actuator coupled to the mechanical arm to move the arm between a first position and a second position. A valve is in fluid communication with the hydraulic actuator for supplying fluid to the hydraulic actuator. A pump is configured to discharge fluid to the valve. A load sensing system is configured to determine a load pressure value associated with the mechanical arm. A control device is configured to permit selection of a normal mode or a speed adjustment mode. A speed adjuster is configured to receive an input from the control device, modify a margin pressure value in response to selection of the speed adjustment mode, and output the modified margin pressure value. A controller is coupled to the pump, the load sensing system, and the speed adjuster. The controller is configured to receive the load pressure value from the load sensing system and the modified margin pressure value from the speed adjuster, and adjust the fluid discharge from the pump based on both the load pressure value and the modified margin pressure value.
