The preliminary design of multipurpose engineering machine

The preliminary design of a multipurpose engineering machine on the wheeled chassis was presented in the paper. The machine meets a series of specific requirements such as: off-road prowess, ability of movement with high speed on hard-surface roads, limited weight and dimensions at the maintaining of great hoisting capacity. These requirements were adjusted to the present character of warfare and that is why the machine construction deviates from classic working machines being used in the civil sector. The meeting of defined requirements required the development of innovative methods. The solution aiming at the increasing the stability of the machine by the application of using a sliding drive unit was described. As a result of that, the increased capacity and efficiency of mined materials were obtained. Additionally, the system of two telescopic arms was applied, so that the efficiency was improved by the shortening of machine working cycles and it is possible to change the length of arms as well as both telescopic arms were placed on the rotating body achieving in such a manner the big workspace for arms. The 3D model of a multipurpose engineering machine and model with rear mounted drive unit and raised and extended arms are presented in the paper.
