  • Patent number: 11499899
    Abstract: The invention relates to a wear component of a milling machine, to a milling machine equipped with such a wear component, and to a method for determining the wear on a wear component. The wear component has associated with it at least one contactlessly readable electronic component for determining the wear on the wear component. Provision is made according to the present invention that at least one sensor is connected to at least one contactlessly readable electronic component for the transfer of data; that the contactlessly readable electronic component is embodied to receive measured data of the sensor and furnish them for contactless reading; and that at least one measurement portion of the sensor is guided, along at least one wear direction to be monitored, into a wear region or along the wear region of the wear component. The invention makes possible a better milling result as a result of optimized maintenance.

  • Patent number: 11433520
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tool for installing a bit on and/or deinstalling a bit from a bit holder system of a milling machine, in particular a road milling machine, having at least one initiator with which installation and/or deinstallation of a bit is initiated. Provision is made that the tool comprises a detection device having at least one counting device; and that the detection device is designed to detect a number of bits deinstalled using the tool and/or a number of bits installed using the tool. The invention also relates to a corresponding bit holder system and to a method for monitoring wear. With the tool and the bit holder system, additional information regarding bit changes that have been carried out is made available to a user.
