    摘要: A control system may be provided for a machine having a swivel chair, a positioning member attached to the swivel chair, a wrist attached to the positioning member, and a cutting head. The control system may include at least one actuator capable of extending and swinging the swivel chair. The control system may also include a lift actuator capable of pivoting the positioning member, a gear mechanism capable of rotating the wrist, and a controller in communication with the swivel chair actuator, the lift actuator, and the wrist actuator. The controller may be capable of determining an excavation pass having a trajectory made from sequential vector paths, and directing the swivel chair actuator, the lift actuator, and the wrist actuator to selectively move the cutting head such that a rotation axis of the cutting head follows the trajectory through each vector path of the excavation pass to form a structure.
