Abstract

A hydraulic excavator includes: a hydraulic pump driven by power generated by an engine; a work device that operates by a plurality of hydraulic cylinders driven by power generated by the hydraulic pump; an actuator control section that controls the boom cylinder in such a manner that a tip end of a bucket is located on or above a target surface; a control point position calculation section that calculates a bucket claw tip position on the basis of angle sensors; and a power generator control section that imposes more limitations on output power ranges of the engine and the hydraulic pump when a distance between the claw tip position and the target surface is equal to or smaller than a threshold D than those when the distance between the claw tip position and the target surface is larger than the threshold D.
