20140067194 | METHOD FOR DETECTING AND TRACKING THE POSITION OF A MOVABLE TRANSFERRING DEVICE/LOADING DEVICE OF A BUCKET-WHEEL EXCAVATOR OR BUCKET CHAIN EXCAVATOR - Exemplary embodiments are directed to a method for detecting and tracking the position of a mobile transferring device/loading device of a bucket-wheel excavator or bucket chain excavator. The bucket-wheel excavator or bucket chain excavator includes an extraction device having a pivotable superstructure, which has inclinable cantilever, a track-drivable substructure, and a transferring device having a loading cantilever and renders conveyed material through a bench conveyor. An open-loop/closed-loop control device establishes the pivot angle and the inclination of the loading cantilever of the transferring device according to the signals of a plurality of sensors. | 03-06-2014 |
