Abstract

A speed command value X1 for a first arm 3 is decided depending on a lever input amount in the direction c, d. Assuming that the side d corresponding to move-up of the first arm is positive, the side c corresponding to move-down thereof is negative, and a speed command value resulted upon full lever operation and corresponding to a rated speed of the first arm is 1, X1 is given by -1<X1<1. A speed command value X3 for a third arm 5 is decided depending on a lever input amount in the direction e, f. Assuming that the side f corresponding to dumping of the third arm is positive, the side e corresponding to crowding thereof is negative, and a speed command value resulted upon full lever operation and corresponding to a rated speed of the third arm is 1, X3 is given by -1<X3<1. A speed command value X2 for a second arm 4 is here given by X2=K1.times.X1+K3.times.X3 on condition that the side corresponding to move-up of the second arm is positive. With such an operation control system for a 3-articulation type excavator, the excavator can be operated by operators having an ordinary skill continuously over a wide working area specific to 3-articulation type excavators with the same operat…
