ABSTRACT

The present invention provides, an apparatus for controllably moving a
vehicle's work implement. The work implement includes a first appendage
pivotally connected to the vehicle, and a second appendage pivotally connected
to the first appendage. The apparatus senses the geometry of the work
implement and responsibly producing a plurality of position signal and
produces one of a manual control mode signal and an automatic control mode
signal. An operator interface produces first and second lever command signals
indicative of desired movement of the work implement. The apparatus receives
the one control mode signal and the first and second lever control signals and
responsively produces linear motion of the end point of the second appendage
along first and second work axes if the one control mode signal is equal to
the automatic control mode signal.
