SEKN5047 - Introduction of Ultrasonic Measurement Tool

This document introduces an ultrasonic measurement tool for measuring undercarriage components on heavy machinery. The tool allows quick measurement of components like bushings and rollers with minimal dirt removal compared to traditional measurement methods. It measures thickness and wear accurately, including for irregularly shaped parts. The document provides instructions for setup, taking measurements of various components, and recording the data.

[For measuring undercarriage]

Introduction of Ultrasonic Measurement Tool


We would like to introduce the ultrasonic measurement tool of which Komatsu America Corp. has
already sold more than 280 units. The tool is intended to measure undercarriages.
Undercarriages used to be measured with vernier calipers, calipers, and scales, but the work of
removing dirt from track shoes and track rollers took considerable time.
The ultrasonic measurement tool, if used, requires you to remove mud only in the minimum range
and enables you to measure bushing, track rollers, etc. quickly.

1. Part Number
799-A50-1000
Komatsu America supplies the tool from their
Parts Center.

2. Features
1) Removing extra dirt is not necessary.
For measuring, just remove as much dirt as
about 20 mm the diameter of the measuring
probe.
Wear after turned of track bushing
2) The tool enables you to easily measure wear
of the turned track bushing.
The external shape of the turned track bushing
is warped, and you cannot measure its wear
correctly with calipers, etc.
The ultrasonic measurement tool measures
the thickness (A size) of the bushing directly
and calculates the wear amount, while cali-
pers cannot correctly measure the wear
amount after turned due to the influence of the
wear amount (B size) before turn of track
bushing. Wear before turn of track bushing

3) The tool enables you to easily measure the tread


of a track roller.
When you try to measure it with traditional cali-
pers, the calipers hit the guard, etc. and that
prevents you from measuring it. But the ultra-
sonic measurement tool enables you to measure
it simply by bringing the probe to it.

3. Cautions in measuring with the ultrasonic measurement tool


In measuring idler tread (the inside surface is not finished) and link height, measured values vary with the
position to which the probe is placed. So, you have to measure them carefully.

4. How to use
4.1 Preparatory work
1) Connection of probe
Connect a probe to the tool.
2) Zero point adjustment
Turn the tool ON and apply the couplant to the
probe.
Place the probe on the test disk on top of the
tool.
When Prb0 is displayed, the adjustment is
satisfactory.

3) Inputting data of the machine to be measured


· Turn on the power of the tool, press the FILE
button, and select CREATE.
· Select KOMATSU template and input model
name, serial number, service meter, measure-
ment date, and track type.
· Using the Up and Down arrows to scroll
through alphabet/numbers and the Left & Right
arrows to change character position, ENTER
the information as prompted.

4.2 Measuring each Component (see note). Follow


prompts for each measurement.
1) Measuring link bushing thickness
Put couplant on end of probe.
Place the probe on the link bushing and mea-
sure the thickness of the bushing.
2) Measuring link height
Put couplant on end of probe.
Place the probe on the link and measure the
height of the link.

3) Measuring shoe grouser height


Put couplant on end of probe.
Place the probe on the shoe grouser and mea-
sure the height of the grouser.
4) Measuring idler tread
Put couplant on end of probe.
Place the probe on the idler tread and measure
the thickness of the tread.

5) Measuring carrier roller tread


Put couplant on end of probe.
Place the probe on the carrier roller tread and
measure the thickness of the tread.
6) Measuring track roller tread
Put couplant on end of probe.
Place the probe on the track roller tread and
measure the thickness of the tread.

Note: Refer to pages 18 to 22 of the KUC Procedure


Manual (SELA1208-04) for where to take ultra-
sonic measurements.

Warning: Ultrasonic Measurements are based on the velocity of sound through various materials.
Before taking any undercarriage measurements, verify that the velocity is set to 5900 meters/
sec.

Additional couplant is available: Part Number 799-A50-1130 4 oz. bottle.

5. Others
Since link pitch cannot be measured with the ultrasonic measurement tool, the manual measurement from
the scale can be entered into the ultrasonic measurement tool.
