Abstract
A wear member monitoring system for a ground engaging tool, the system including: a measuring assembly having: an emitting device configured to emit a measurement signal towards a wear member of the ground engaging tool; a detecting device configured to detect a reflected measurement signal in response to the measurement signal emitted towards the wear member; and a processor configured to: analyse the reflected measurement signal with a two dimensional reference model; and determine a condition of the wear member based on the analysis of the reflected measurement signal with the two dimensional reference model.
Claims21
A wear member monitoring system for a ground engaging tool, the system including:
- a measuring assembly having:
- an emitting device configured to emit a measurement signal towards a wear member of the ground engaging tool;
- a detecting device configured to detect a reflected measurement signal in response to the measurement signal emitted towards the wear member;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- analyse the reflected measurement signal with a two dimensional reference model;
- and
- determine a condition of the wear member based on the analysis of the reflected measurement signal with the two dimensional reference model;
- wherein the measurement signal comprises a plurality of measurement signals in the form of a plurality of laser planes that extend in a transverse direction to each other.
A method for monitoring a wear member of a ground engaging tool, the method including the steps of:
- emitting a measurement signal towards the wear member;
- detecting a reflected measurement signal in response to the measurement signal emitted towards the wear member;
- analysing the reflected measurement signal with a two dimensional reference model;
- and
- determining a condition of the wear member based on the analysis of the reflected measurement signal with the two dimensional reference model;
- wherein the measurement signal comprises a plurality of measurement signals in the form of a plurality of laser planes that extend in a transverse direction to each other.
