  • Patent number: 11905686
    Abstract: A wear member includes a body defining an exterior with an outside perimeter, an interior aperture with an at least partially interior polygonal perimeter, and at least one fastener receiving hole extending from the exterior to the interior aperture. The exterior lacks any large openings to limit the risk of material packing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 28, 2021
    Date of Patent: February 20, 2024
    Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.
    Inventors: Douglas C. Serrurier, Andrew William Young, Graham Ray Hartoonian-Parizek
  • Patent number: 11676262
    Abstract: A method for determining part wear, such as using a wear metric, includes receiving, from a sensor, sensor data representing a surface of a wear part. The method further includes determining distances between measured points in the sensor data and points on one or more part models, which part models may include new part models and/or worn or wear limit part models. The method further includes using a bounding model that at least partially envelopes the part model(s) and the measured points to determine a direction along which the distances are measured. The method may also include quantifying wear using the measured distances.
    Type: Grant
