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

Tread Path Depth and Pitch Elongation are two critical indicators used to assess the current wear level of a Hydraulic Shovel’s undercarriage, and more importantly, to estimate the remaining service life of its components. Tread Path Depth can be measured in two ways: While the top-of-lug method (Figure A) is commonly used, it presents challenges.

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

Performing 6 tasks will lead to long term costs savings and increased competitiveness in the market The reason to perform these tasks is that Undercarriage components undergo extra machining and surface hardening in order to have the necessary wear resistance. This costs more and thus undercarriage maintenance costs will be greater than 50% of the

Sugar Cane Harvesters need to be operational 99% of the time during harvest season. Each mill uses a fleet of at least 30 of these machines, and sometimes up to 1000 pieces of equipment including tractors and trucks. These harvesters are complex, running on tracks and hydraulic systems. To ensure they stay available, maintenance is
