Computer-Aided Operation of the Single-Bucket Excavator with the Remote Control and Laser Control System of Positioning

Abstract

Essential difficulties in the operation processes of a single-bucket excavators is the fact that they are multi-functional machines. They can be fitted out with a range of various working features. Hence, elaborate automatic control system is being indispensable. It makes possible, the flexible co-operation with the operator in carrying out different technological tasks. The structure of this system ought to make possible an easy adaptation of the single-bucket excavator for carrying out specific tasks (without wasting a lot of machines' working time). This also applies to work in hazardous conditions for the operator, or completing the earth-moving operations with great precision. In this paper, a solution of such a system is discussed, backed by computer-aided controls in connection with remote control and laser control systems for fixing the position of the machine with improved precision.

Supervision and Control of Working Fixtures Position of the Single Bucket Excavator with regard to Displacement of their Undercarriage and Outriggers' Characteristics

“…Description of building and operation (functioning) of laser system for limitation (restrictive) depth of digging are presented in [1].…”

Research on the Prediction Method of Braking Rotation Angle for Remote-Controlled Excavator

“…Remote-controlled and unmanned operation modes have become feasible solutions to these problems and have become the main direction of intelligent excavator development [ 17 ]. Among them, the remote-controlled operation mode has been widely used [ 18 ]. For example, China Railway Engineering Group used remote-controlled excavators to improve construction quality and efficiency in railway tunnel projects, while the ECR235CL excavator of Swedish company Volvo can be equipped with a remote-controlled system to allow operators to work in dangerous locations.…”
