Quality Engineering Tools Focused on Designing Remote Temperature Measurements for Inaccessible Locations by Using Light Components Parameterization of the Heated Materials

摘要

This paper is focused on research dedicated to measure the bucket wheel bearing temperature of the bucket wheel excavator (BWE). It proposes a measurement method for heating friction materials because is difficult to detect the temperature variation in the bearing. The major issue is to detect the generated infrared light according to the material detection. The temperature is considered the major signal of the wheel reliability and a remotely temperature detection method is proposed and because the sleeve bearing is a crucial part of the excavator a predictive measurements system for buckled wheel axis system was designed.
