Conor Murray - Safety mechanisms for quick couplers and Excavator attachments
This research examined the safety mechanisms on the Dromone quick coupler and through the use of passive technology (RFID) and mechanical redesign, developed a quick coupler with improved overall operational safety. Dromone Engineering is a manufacturer of quick couplers and excavator attachments. The traditional locking system was operated mechanically and there was no interaction with the driver to confirm the excavator was in a safe position to release attachments. A safety control system together with a driver display/interface was implemented to ensure that all safety criteria were met before release or operation of any attachments.
