METHOD FOR SETTING UP A MOBILE MACHINE
First Claim
1. :
- Method for setting up a mobile work machine (1), in which the subsurface (28) at a location of use is analyzed with regard to its composition and/or load-bearing capacity, before the work machine (1) is positioned there and/or oriented and supported by means of support legs (20, 24) that can be moved out, into suitable set-up positions (VR, VL, HR, HL), in accordance with the subsurface composition and load-bearing capacity that has been determined, wherein geodata (38) of a geographic area that contains the location of use, having a layer of known subsurface data (40) that define the subsurface composition and load-bearing capacity, are read into a data memory (44), by way of a computer, wherein the geographic position of the work machine (1) and its orientation at the location of use are determined and linked with the geodata and subsurface data (38, 40) that have been read in, in the form of a data set that defines at least the geographic set-up positions (VR, VL, HR, HL) of the extended support legs (20, 24), and that wherein the work machine (1), with its support legs (20, 24), is navigated into a suitable set-up position, in accordance with the geodata and subsurface data that have been read in, in each instance.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for setting up a mobile machine (1), particularly an automatic concrete pump, a mobile crane or a movable elevating work platform. With such a method, the subsurface (28) of a site is analyzed for the properties and/or load-bearing capacity thereof before the machine (10) is positioned there and/or oriented and supported by means of flarable supporting legs (20, 24) in set-up positions (VR, VL, HR, HL) suitable according to the determined subsurface properties and load-bearing capacity. In order to determine an optimized set-up position for the supporting legs (20, 24), geodata (38) of a geographic environment that includes the site is read via a computer in a data memory (44) using a layer of subsurface data (40) that defines the subsurface properties and load-bearing capacity. In addition, the geographic position of the machine (1) and the orientation thereof at the site are determined and linked in the form of a data set that defines at least the geographic set-up positions (VR, VL, HR, HL) of the flared supporting legs (20, 24) to the imported geodata and subsurface data (38, 40). Then, the machine (1) is navigated with the supporting legs (20, 24) into a set-up position that is suited according to the imported geodata and subsurface data.
