Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process and tool for monitoring the status, health, and performance of wear parts used on earth working equipment. The process and tool allow the operator to optimize the performance of the earth working equipment. The tool has a clear line of site to the wear parts during use and may be integrated with a bucket or blade on the earth working equipment.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A wear part for earth working equipment comprising a wearable body for engaging the ground during operation of the earth working equipment, at least one electronic sensor located within the wearable body for detecting strain in the wearable body and wirelessly transmitting such information for use in making an assessment by a programmable logic device. 2. The wear part of claim 1 wherein the wearable body has a configuration for securing to a bucket. 3. A wear part for earth working equipment comprising a wearable body for engaging the ground during operation of the earth working equipment, at least one electronic sensor located within the wearable body for detecting loads applied against the wearable body and wirelessly transmitting such information for use in making an assessment by a programmable logic device. 4. The wear part of claim 3 wherein the wearable body has a configuration for securing to a bucket. 5. A wear part for earth working equipment comprising a wearable body for engaging the ground during operation of the earth working equipment, at least one electronic sensor located within the wearable body for detecting acceleration in the wearable body and wirelessly transmitting such information for use in making an assessment by a programmable logic device. 6. The wear part of claim 5 wherein the wearable body has a configuration for securing to a bucket.
