HYBRID-TYPE CONSTRUCTION MACHINE

摘要

Provided is a hybrid-type construction machine including a swing device of the hydraulic-electric combined swing type and by which, in a work for which accurate swing operability is demanded like, for example, a crane work, a swing body is driven alone by the electric motor. The hybrid-type construction machine includes an engine, a hydraulic pump driven by the engine, a swing body, an electric motor for driving the swing body, and a hydraulic motor driven by the hydraulic pump for driving the swing body. The swing body is swung by simultaneous drive by the electric motor and the hydraulic motor. The hybrid-type construction machine includes a control apparatus having a work mode changeover unit by which an operator changes over a mode in response to an aspect of a work and an electric alone swing controlling unit configured to control the swing body to be swung by the electric motor alone. When a work in which position accuracy is demanded is selected by the work mode changeover unit, the swing body is swung by the electric alone swing controlling unit.
