Wearing Part Monitoring with Optical Fibers

Example 2

A wearing part according to the present invention and a light emitting device to be used in a method according to the present invention is interconnected as shown in FIG. 1.

A wearing part (i.e. a dynamic sealing made from a polymer material according to the present invention and incorporating a rubber band, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention), in which the optical fibres are fitted with splitters/lenzes and interconnected with connectors and reflectors, which is a multiplicity of splitters, is used in a method for detecting excessive wear of a wearing part according to the present invention. A schematic representation is shown in FIG. 3.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
