Estimating the term…
A method and apparatus are disclosed for monitoring the amount of erosion in the wearing parts of a crusher, in which method the wearing of the crusher is provided with a wear sensor that issues a signal to the crusher's automatic control system as erosion in the wearing part reaches a predetermined depth. Upon receiving the signal, the control system initiates predetermined actions, such as an alarm, stopping the crusher and/or ordering of a spare part. Information on the amount of erosion in a wearing part is transmitted wirelessly to the automatic control system.
A method for monitoring the amount of erosion in the wearing parts of a crusher, in which method the erosion of the wearing parts of a crusher is monitored by the crusher's automatic control system and, as erosion in the wearing parts reaches a predetermined depth, the control system initiates predetermined actions, which actions comprise issuing an alarm, characterized in that information on the amount of erosion in a wearing part of the crusher is transmitted wirelessly to the automatic control system of the crusher and that the predetermined actions further comprise at least one of the following actions:
An apparatus for monitoring the amount of erosion in the wearing parts of a crusher, the apparatus comprising an automatic control system of the crusher, and at least one wear sensor mounted on the wearing part of the crusher, characterized in that said wear sensor is equipped with means for transmitting the measurement signal wirelessly to the automatic control system of the crusher and with a self-contained energy source.
