Abstract: In the current conditions of rising energy prices and increasing volumes of mineral extraction, improving the technological processes of quarry excavators is of particular relevance. Existing control methods do not fully meet the requirements of productivity and safety. The article is devoted to the development of algorithms for the operation of the rotor movement control system of a quarry rotary excavator with an extendable or telescopic boom, capable of optimizing the process of mineral extraction. In the course of the study, an analysis of existing control systems was carried out, the structure of a new system was developed, including subsystems for controlling the spatial position of the rotor, a command controller and subsystems for direct movement control. An original system architecture with the ability to switch between automatic and manual control modes is proposed. Practical implementation of the system can significantly reduce dependence on the subjective qualities of the operator, increase the productivity of the excavator, ensure more accurate positioning of the working body and promptly respond to emergency situations when switching between control modes. The implementation of the system helps to increase the efficiency and safety of the production process.
