In the disclosed solution, a boom assembly (14) of a work machine (1) is controlled by tip control. In tip control, a control command is given to a tip of a boom assembly (14), converted into control commands for individual actuators of the boom assembly (14). In the disclosed solution, a variable related to a load and its position at the tip of the boom assembly (14) is defined, and the variable in question related to the load and its position at the tip of the boom assembly (14) is taken into account in the control command for the actuator.

When an EMV performs an action comprising moving a tool of the EMV through soil or other material, the EMV can measure a current speed of the tool through the material and a current kinematic pressure exerted on the tool by the material. Using the measured current speed and kinematic pressure, the EMV system can use a machine learned model to determine one or more soil parameters of the material. The EMV can then make decisions based on the soil parameters, such as by selecting a tool speed for the EMV based on the determined soil parameters.

A machine is disclosed. The machine may include a control system that includes a controller configured to: determine a center of gravity of the machine based on a state of the machine; determine at least one of a slope limit or a pitch limit for the machine based on the center of gravity; receive a command to perform an operation that, if performed, would affect at least one of a slope or a pitch of the machine; determine whether the operation, if performed, would cause the machine to exceed the at least one of the slope limit or the pitch limit; and selectively perform the operation based on determining whether the operation, if performed, would cause the machine to exceed the at least one of the slope limit or the pitch limit.

An embodiment of the present invention relates to an apparatus for controlling quick clamping of construction machine which comprises a clamp for mounting an attachment, the apparatus including: a selection input unit for generating a selection signal during an on operation by an operator; an operation input unit for generating an operation signal during an operation by the operator; a clamp driving unit for releasing and fastening the clamp; and a controller for controlling the clamp driving unit to release the clamp while the operation signal is input after the selection signal is input.

An excavator includes a traveling body, an upper turning body rotatably provided on the traveling body, an attachment which has a boom, an arm, and a bucket and is attached to the upper turning body, and a controller configured to perform a control of a cylinder of at least one shaft of the attachment so as to suppress a vibration of the traveling body or the upper turning body, which is caused by an aerial operation of the attachment.

A system for controlling the lateral traverse position of a front three-point hitch mounted side-shifting implement and a rear three-point hitch mounted side-shifting implement on a mobile machinery such as an agricultural tractor with an controllable automated steering device, while simultaneously controlling the position of the tractor relative to the positions of each of the two side-shifting implements. The system uses a controller to control the positions of the side-shifting-implements using information received from a position monitoring system communication with roving receivers mounted on the side-shifting-implements. The controller also controls the position of the mobile machinery using local relationship sensors mounted on the side-shifting-implement's position and on the mobile machinery's position. The relationship sensors allow the controller to use two roving data receivers instead of three roving data receivers to control both the position of the side shifting implements and the position of the mobile machinery.

A loading vehicle detects the position of a receiving vehicle relative to the loading vehicle and determines whether the receiving vehicle is to be repositioned. If so, it sends a repositioning message to the receiving vehicle and receives acknowledgement that the loading vehicle has remote control of the positioning mechanisms in the receiving vehicle. A loading vehicle operator input is detected and a position control signal is sent to the receiving vehicle to reposition it relative to the loading vehicle.

A counterweight removal protection system and a method of controlling removal of the counterweight to avoid damage to an imaging sensor system of a work vehicle, such as an excavator. The imaging sensor system includes an imaging sensor supported by the counterweight and configured to transmit an imaging sensor signal to a vehicle controller to determine the state of the imaging sensor signal. A user interface in the work vehicle includes a selectable touch button to enable removal of the counterweight depending on the state of the imaging sensor signal. An interlock device prevents lowering the counterweight based on the state of the imaging sensor signal. In one embodiment, the imaging sensor signal is a heartbeat signal.

The invention relates to a system for localizing an attachment tool for a work device comprising a first communication unit connect to an attachment tool and having a first acceleration sensor that is configured to provide a first acceleration signal relating to an instantaneous acceleration of the attachment tool; a second communication unit connected to the work device in the region of a connection region for the attachment tool and having a second acceleration sensor that is configured to provide a second acceleration signal relating to an instantaneous acceleration of the connection region; and an identification module that is coupled to the first and/or second communication unit(s) and that is configured to obtain the first and second acceleration signals and to enable a safe allocation of the attachment tool to the work device by evaluating the signals. The invention further relates to a set of a work device and an attachment tool having a system in accordance with the invention and to a method of localizing an attachment tool for a work device with the aid of a system in accordance with the invention.

An excavator includes a lower traveling body; an upper turning body mounted on the lower traveling body; an attachment attached to the upper turning body; an attitude detecting device configured to detect an attitude of the attachment including a bucket; and a control device configured to control a toe angle of a toe of the bucket with respect to an excavation ground, based on a transition of the attitude of the attachment, information relating to a present shape of the excavation ground, and an operation content of an operation device relating to the attachment.
