Abstract: A method for carrying out a surface finishing work with an electronically controlled hydraulic excavator is disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for automatically controlling prescribed work to be repeatedly done by the excavator. An electronic control using a processor and sensors is used to precisely control the work under program control regardless of the hardness of the ground. The controlling method according to the present invention utilizes stored data of the position of each of the joints of the actuators when the prescribed work is performed. During the repeated work, each joint is able to maintain its desired position regardless of the hardness of the ground. Further, because the operational mode can be stored at the same time as storing of the data for the prescribed work, the invention compares the operational mode with the repeated work. The performance speed of the repeated work can be controlled as much as intended by the operator. The repeated work can be performed with high speed when an unskilled operator stores the operation of the prescribed work with a slow speed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for automatically controlling the speed ratio of swing and boom operation of the excavator, which makes the operator perform the dig-up task in a easy and precise manner by adapting an electronic control using micro-module and sensors and so forth. The controlling method according to the present invention utilizes the angular velocity for the swing and the boom operation which is dependent on the position of the truck and is preset by the operator in the input/output board of the controller. When the dig-up task is performed, the operator will operate the joy sticks for the swing and the boom as much as possible and the controller enables the swing operation to move to the desired position without dropping a lump of earth. Again, when the operator operates the joy sticks for the dipper and the bucket in the same manner, the dipper and the bucket will move to the position in which the truck is placed.
