Its diversity and convenient operating nature make it popular. Among the different types of work performed by hydraulic excavators, level digging work accounts for a large percentage. When digging or finishing ground surfaces level using the backhoe front attachment, the boom tip height must be controlled so that the bucket tooth tip can be moved horizontally. This paper describes a method of automated level digging control we wish to propose. By using this control system, depth controlled digging can be achieved in the same way as usual manual lever operation while minimizing repetitive depth confirmation work, thereby raising the working efficiency level. ?2001 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

Due to their versatility and convenience, hydraulic excavators currently dominate construction equipment fleets operating at most civil engineering work sites. Among the tasks performed by hydraulic excavators, level digging or flat surface finishing work such as preparing housing foundations, reclamation of paddy fields, or pipe laying, account for a large percentage of required work. Accordingly, improving machine controllability for level digging contributes directly to increased work efficiency and reduced cost. The automatic depth control system was devised in order to facilitate level digging work. This paper describes the method and benefit of the automatic depth control. 2. Constitution of a hydraulic excavator Hydraulic excavators consist of three main parts: undercarriage, upperstructure and front attachment. ( see Fig. 1). The upperstructure rotates on the undercarriage. The backhoe front attachment of a hydraulic excavator consists of
