    摘要: A system and method for controlling an automatic leveling of heavy equipment. The system, in which a lower frame having a traveling unit and an upper frame are combined together by a tilting unit, includes a sensor unit, provided in the equipment, for sensing twist angles of the lower frame and the upper frame against a reference horizontal surface and a traveling speed of the equipment. A control unit receives the twist angles and the traveling speed, sets a limit of an operation time for the automatic leveling in a standstill state of the equipment while calculating a corrected angle to which a twist angle of the upper frame is to be corrected, without setting the limit of the operation time for the automatic leveling, in a traveling state of the equipment, and generates a control signal for instructing an operation of a tilting unit in accordance with the corrected angle. A driving unit performs a tilting control through the tilting unit in accordance with the received control signal.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for controlling a hydraulically operated construction machine having a plurality of tandem articulated members which move in a particular pattern, wherein movement of one of the articulated members is controlled in response to movement of a second one of the articulated members. Anticipated future movement of the second articulated member is determined and the first articulated member is controlled as a function at least of the anticipated future movement of the second articulated member. Anticipated future movement is determined by measuring actual delay between movement of the first and second articulated members. Operation of the articulated members is a function of operation of an actuator and a selectable command level.

    摘要: A cross slope level/torsion control for mobile machines is disclosed. At least two crawler tracks or four wheels or rail bogies are provided for transporting and elevating the frame with at least one crawler track or two wheels or rail bogies on a reference side of the mobile machine and at least one crawler track or two wheels or rail bogies on cross slope side of the mobile machine. At least four jacking points having variable vertical extension are placed between the crawler tracks, wheels or rail bogies and frame with two jacking points being on the reference side of the mobile machine and two jacking points being on the cross slope side of the mobile machine. The reference side of the mobile machine tracks a reference in elevation and adapts a desired reference attitude. An attitude sensor on the reference side of the mobile machine measures the actual attitude of the reference side relative to gravity. Likewise, an attitude sensor on the cross slope side of the mobile measures the actual attitude of the cross slope side relative to gravity. The relative elevation between the two jacking points on the cross slope side of the mobile machine is varied to cause the attitude of the cross slope side of the mobile machine to match the attitude of the reference side of the mobile machine. Finally, a single cross slope sensor varies the elevation of the cross slope side of the mobile machine relative to the reference side of the mobile machine.
