In a cutting wheel (103) for a tunnel boring machine, a tool condition monitoring device is provided to monitor the condition of at least one mining tool (112, 115, 118) during removal of a geological structure present, during tunneling, at the cutting wheel (103) in a tunneling direction. At least one support part (121, 124, 127) is installed separately and at a distance from the or a relevant mining tool (112, 115, 118). In the relevant support part (121, 124, 127), a current conductor element is embedded, which is interrupted in terms of its ability to carry current after a wear limit which is characteristic of the condition of the relevant mining tool (112, 115, 118) has been reached. In this way, the condition of mining tools (112, 115, 118) can be reliably determined during a relatively simple maintenance operation or retrofitting with a support part (121, 124, 127).
A cutting wheel for a tunnel boring machine with a number of mining tools (112, 115, 118) for removal of an upcoming geology structure present, during tunneling, at the cutting wheel (103) in a tunneling direction, and with a tool condition monitoring device for monitoring the state of wear of mining tools (112, 115, 118), wherein the tool condition monitoring device has at least one support part (121, 124, 127) assigned to a mining tool (112, 115, 118) and/or a group of mining tools (112, 115, 118), which support part is connected, removably and at a spatial distance from the one or any one of the mining tools (112, 115, 118) or the one or any one of the groups of mining tools (112, 115, 118), to a frame structure (203), and wherein, in the or each support part (121, 124, 127), at least one electrically conductive current conductor element (515) is embedded in such a way that after an abrasion of the one or of any support part (121, 124, 127) that is characteristic of a predetermined state of wear of the one or of any one of the mining tools (112, 115, 118) and/or of the one or any one of the groups of mining tools (112, 115, 118), the or a current conductor element (515) can be interrupted,
