Abstract: A method of determining wear of a worn surface of a machine component includes providing a scanning device at a distance from the worn surface. The method also includes moving at least one of the scanning device and the worn surface relative to the other and generating a set of data points via the scanning device. Each data point of the set of data points is indicative of a depth of a corresponding point on the worn surface relative to a reference plane. The method further includes determining a maximum depth of the worn surface based on the set of data points and comparing the maximum depth to a reference value to determine a next step in a remanufacturing process of the machine component.

Abstract: A cutter may be configured to sever elastomeric material of a non-pneumatic tire. The cutter may include a mounting fixture configured to be operably coupled to an actuator, and a guide associated with the mounting fixture. The guide may include an elongated rod like member having a longitudinal axis. The cutter may further include a blade configured to sever the elastomeric material, wherein the blade is operably coupled to the guide and extends along the longitudinal axis of the guide. The blade may have a cutting edge remote from the mounting fixture.

Abstract: A method for repairing a cast component having a damaged area is provided. The method includes scanning an area adjacent to the damaged area to create a scan. The method includes forming a dam with a void. The void has a profile corresponding to the scan. The method includes positioning the dam adjacent to the damaged area. The method includes heating the cast component. The method includes introducing a repair material into the dam. The method also includes cooling the cast component. The method further includes removing an excess material from the cast component.
