Milling machine and process for the operation of a milling machine

Abstract

The invention relates to a milling machine, in particular a road milling machine, a stabiliser, a recycler or a surface miner, comprising a drive means which is configured such that the milling machine performs translatory and/or rotatory movements on the ground, and a working means which is configured such that the ground is machined. The invention also relates to a method for operating a milling machine of this type. The milling machine according to the invention has a control unit 15 to input drive parameters and work parameters. The control unit 15 is distinguished by a selection unit 15C to select an operating mode from a plurality of operating modes. The control and processing unit 20 has a memory 20A which stores at least one predetermined drive parameter which is assigned to the operating mode, and/or at least one predetermined work parameter which is assigned to the operating mode, for each operating mode of the plurality of operating modes. The control and processing unit 20 is configured such that at least one assembly 4, 5; 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19 of the drive means and working means is controlled subject to the at least one drive parameter or work parameter which is stored in the memory 20A for the operating mode selected using the selection unit 15C, such that the particular machine function is carried out. The milling machine further provides that at least one function which describes the dependence of a work parameter of one assembly on a drive parameter of another assembly is stored for each operating mode, the control and processing unit 20 being configured such that, based on this function, at least one assembly of the working means or drive means is controlled such that the particular machine function is carried out.
