More Information
Summary:A method may include receiving, from a position sensor (38) associated with a machine (10), data indicative of a horizontal rotation angle (32) of a boom (20) of the machine (10). The position sensor (38) may be fixedly mounted to a boom link (30) of the machine (10) and may be fixedly connected through one or more links to the boom (20). The method may further include sending, to a boom actuator (40), one or more commands to modify a horizontal position of the boom (20) to a target horizontal position or to a default horizontal position. The target horizontal position may include a position of the boom (20) prior to drift in the horizontal position during operation of linkage elements of the machine (10) and the default horizontal position may include a position of the boom (20) to which the boom (20) is to return after use.
