Hydraulic excavator with area limiting control function
A work machine (1) having a controller (40) that can perform area limiting control, the work machine further includes a machine control ON/OFF switch (17) that alternatively selects an ON position permitting execution of the area limiting control and an OFF position prohibiting execution of the area limiting control. The controller (40) has an engine control section (63) that performs automatic idling control when a predetermined period of time (T1) has elapsed after a point in time when all of operation levers (1, 23) have attained a neutral state. The engine control section (63) is configured to execute the automatic idling control during when the switch (17) is in the OFF position and not to execute the automatic idling control during when the switch (17) is in the ON position.
SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR CYCLE TIME MANAGEMENT
A hydraulic work system can include a continuously variable displacement hydraulic pump that is powered by an engine and is in communication with a hydraulic actuator. A run-time displacement of the hydraulic pump for movement of the hydraulic actuator can be controlled based on a speed of the engine.
Multi-function engine control and input system
An assembly for an engine includes a control module including a controller operable to control at least certain aspects of the operation of the engine, a display including an input connected to the controller, and a wireless receiver connected to the controller. The wireless receiver is arranged to receive a signal from a wireless device to cause the controller to send an engine start signal to cause starting of the engine and wherein the input when actuated causes the controller to send an engine start signal to cause starting of the engine. In at least some implementations, no keyed ignition switch is provided to start the engine and the engine is started only via the wireless device or the input.

Wheel loader configured to determine a reduction value of a traveling drive force
Provided is a wheel loader capable of exhibiting sufficient excavation performance while suppressing slip during excavation. A control device provided on a wheel loader according to the present invention is configured to determine a reduction value (Δf′) of traveling drive force based on first vehicle body acceleration (av1) of a vehicle body calculated from acceleration detected by an acceleration sensor, second vehicle body acceleration (av2) of the vehicle body calculated from rotational speed of wheels detected by a rotational speed sensor, and thrust (ph) of a hydraulic cylinder detected by a thrust sensor, and reduce the traveling drive force based on the reduction value and output the reduced traveling drive force.
Gas engine heat pump
The present disclosure relates to a gas engine heat pump including: an engine which burns a mixed air of air and fuel; a first charger which compresses the mixed air and supplies to the engine; a first exhaust flow path which is connected to the engine, and through which exhaust gas discharged from the engine flows; and a second charger which is driven by the exhaust gas branched from the first exhaust flow path to a second exhaust flow path, and compresses the exhaust gas discharged from the engine and supplies the compressed exhaust gas to the engine, thereby reducing the emission of nitrogen oxide by recirculating the exhaust gas without additional power consumption.

Automatic regeneration control device for particulate filter
An automatic regeneration controller for a particular filter comprises an engine controller, a unit controller, and a load application cancellation switch. With filter regeneration being started by determination of particulate accumulation and with an idling or light-load operation being conducted, load request to a work unit is outputted from the engine controller to the unit controller. Then, when load application is not possible or the load application cancellation switch is on and, in addition, exhaust temperature is not maintainable with no load application, a regeneration stop signal is outputted from the unit controller to the engine controller and a regeneration stop signal reception process is conducted in the engine controller, and with no forced load application to a hydraulic unit, fuel addition is stopped to stop automatic regeneration control.

System and method for controlling power output of a power source
A control system for a power source is disclosed. The control system includes a first sensor module and a second sensor module to generate signals indicative of an ambient condition of the power source and an operating parameter of an engine of the power source, respectively. The control system further includes a controller that receives signals indicative of the ambient condition and the engine operating parameter and determines a first power output based on the ambient condition and a second power output based on the engine operating parameter. A final power output is further determined based on the first and second power outputs, which is further compared with a predetermined power output of the engine. A power conversion device that is coupled to the engine is further controlled to regulate a power output of the power source based on the comparison between the final and predetermined power outputs.
