Abstract
A system and a method configured to produce a precisely fitted attachment blade and a corresponding excavator scoop and templates configured to produce a precisely fitted attachment blade and a corresponding excavator scoop. Thus a transportation requirements to a construction site can be significantly reduced. Furthermore attachment blades for particular excavator scoops can be produced quickly for particular excavator scoops and excavator scoops can be configured with tooth holders. Furthermore existing attachment blades and excavator scoops can be regenerated quickly when service is required.
Claims6
A system configured to produce a precisely fitted attachment blade and a corresponding excavator scoop, the system comprising:
- a bucket and a cutting element that is disengageable from the bucket,
- wherein the attachment blade includes the cutting element and at least two first tooth attachments attached at an external top surface of the cutting element that is oriented towards a pivot of the excavator scoop, and
- wherein the excavator scoop includes the bucket and at least two first tooth holders that correspond to the at least two first tooth attachments of the attachment blade;
- at least one reusable first template for aligning the at least two first tooth attachments at the cutting element,
- wherein the at least one reusable first template for aligning the at least two first tooth attachments is not an excavator scoop,
- wherein the at least one reusable first template for aligning the at least two first tooth attachments includes a number of second tooth holders that corresponds to a number of the at least two first tooth attachments, and
- wherein the number of the second tooth holders is attached at an external top surface of the at least one reusable first template that is oriented towards the pivot of the excavator scoop;
- and
- at least one reusable second template for aligning the at least two first tooth holders at the bucket,
- wherein the at least one reusable second template for aligning the least two first tooth holders is not an attachment blade,
- wherein the least two first tooth holders are arranged at a predetermined distance from each other,
- wherein the at least one reusable second template for aligning the least two first tooth holders includes a number of second tooth attachments that corresponds to the number of the tooth holders to be aligned,
- wherein the second tooth attachments are arranged at a predetermined distance from each other,
- wherein the second tooth attachments attached at an external top surface of the at least one reusable second template that is oriented towards the pivot of the excavator scoop, and
- wherein the at least one reusable first template for attaching the at least two tooth attachments and the at least one reusable second template for attaching the tooth holders at the bucket are integrally provided as a uniform one-piece reusable template.
