Abstract
This invention relates to a system for determining a wear state of a chisel, a chisel holder, and/or a chisel holder replacement system equipped with a chisel and chisel holder. A sensor is arranged to inspect a milling tool of a milling machine. The sensor is configured to detect a signal corresponding to a position value of at least one point on the milling tool.
Claims35
A measurement system for determining a wear state of at least one milling tool of a milling roller of a road milling machine or a surface miner machine, the measurement system comprising:
- a sensor associated with the machine and arranged to inspect the milling tool, the sensor being configured to detect a signal corresponding to a position value of at least one point on the milling tool.
A measurement system for determining a wear state of at least one milling tool of a milling roller of a road milling machine or a surface miner machine, the milling roller having a plurality of milling tools, the measurement system comprising:
- an illumination source mounted on the machine and arranged to illuminate the at least one milling tool;
- and
- an optical sensor mounted on the machine and arranged to inspect the at least one milling tool, the optical sensor being arranged relative to the illumination source so that the optical sensor receives light from the illumination source reflected from the at least one milling tool, the reflected light corresponding to a position value of at least one point on the at least one milling tool.
