Measuring Upper Rollers in Undercarriage Systems for Accurate Results

Accurate measurement of undercarriage components is essential to correctly assess wear levels and to provide a reliable estimation of the remaining component life. Carrier (or upper) rollers present particular challenges in this process. The internal surfaces of the roller shell are machined with varying shapes to accommodate both the roller and thrust bearings, as illustrated

Beyond Budget Life: Enhancing Decision Quality Through Condition Monitoring

Every machine is built from components, each with a different service life. Traditionally, life is tracked against a budgeted target, but this often fails to reflect the true condition of the component. By combining actual operating hours with condition-based inspections, Asset Managers gain a more accurate picture of component life: This approach transforms raw inspection

Data can drive big increases in profitability by reducing operating costs

Use the Power of Data to Increase Profitability

Undercarriage inspections are critical to maximizing the life and return on investment of your equipment. Machines that are not regularly inspected typically achieve only 75% of their potential life. Take a large dozer as an example: That’s a 25% improvement in cost efficiency, saving $62,500 per undercarriage set. By using TrackTreads advanced Forecasting and Planning

The power of Undercarriage data

The Power of Undercarriage Data

There are several ways in which undercarriage data is collected. On its own, the data points will not mean a lot, but all together and once analysed, this data forms a powerful roadmap for end users, suppliers and manufacturers alike. The more data that is collected, the greater the power of this data. There is
