Abstract
A controller outputs a first velocity (first limiting velocity) as a limiting velocity for a boom cylinder when a boom lowering operation amount is smaller than a first operation amount, and outputs a second velocity when the boom lowering operation amount is equal to or larger than the first operation amount. The first velocity is set to decrease according to a decrease in a target surface distance. The second velocity is defined by a weighted average of the first velocity and a third velocity (second limiting velocity) set to change according to one of the target surface distance and the boom lowering operation amount of the operation device, and is set such that an increase in the boom lowering operation amount reduces a weight for the first velocity while increasing a weight for the third velocity.
