Abstract
In some implementations, a controller may obtain, during an event, pressure data regarding an amount of pressure of fluid associated with a component of the machine. The controller may obtain, during the event, flow data regarding a flow of the fluid associated with the component of the machine. The controller may determine, based on the pressure data and the flow data, an amount of wear of a track of the machine. The controller may perform an action based on the amount of wear of the track of the machine.
Claims20
A method performed by a controller of a machine, the method comprising:
- obtaining, during an event, pressure data regarding an amount of pressure of fluid associated with a component of the machine;
- obtaining, during the event, flow data regarding a flow of the fluid associated with the component of the machine;
- determining, based on the pressure data and the flow data, an amount of wear of a track of the machine;
- and
- performing an action based on the amount of wear of the track of the machine.
2 more elements
A machine, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors configured to:
- obtain at least one of:
