A system is provided for determining a volume of material milled, or a surface area milled, by a construction machine having a milling drum. The volume of material milled is determined as a function of a cross-sectional area of material to be milled in front of the milling drum and a distance traveled by the construction machine while actively milling. The cross-sectional area is determined in part by direct machine observation of one or more profile characteristics of a ground surface in front of the milling drum. The surface area milled is determined as a function of the width of the area to be milled in front of the milling drum and a distance traveled by the construction machine while actively milling.

Determining milled volume or milled area of a milled surface

The invention relates to a working device for a ground-processing device having a milling drum with a milling drum tube on whose surface working tools are mounted in a projecting manner and are intended to come into contact with the material to be milled during the milling process, wherein the working device has a powertrain for driving the milling drum. In order to improve the running smoothness of a ground-processing machine, provision is made according to the invention for at least one load weight to be arranged, preferably interchangeably, on the powertrain and/or on the milling drum to increase the kinetic energy.

Working device

The present disclosure provides a machine () for surface mining or road milling. The machine () is arranged to remove material from a ground region () while moving along the ground region () and comprises a ground engager for removing a portion of the material from the ground region (). The machine () further comprises a detecting system () that has at least one detector element coupled to a component of the machine () to move with the machine () and arranged to detect at least one quantity associated with an electrical property of the ground region (). The detecting system () is arranged to provide composition information concerning a composition of at least one material layer in the ground region () and thickness information concerning a thickness of at least one material layer (). The detected at least one quantity associated with the electrical property is used to provide at least one of the composition information and the thickness information.
