Device for sensing the wear state of wheels or rollers
First Claim
1. A device for automatically sensing the wear state of movable wheels or rollers in conveying systems, comprising:
- a measuring station through which the wheel or the roller runs, said measuring station arranged in a stationary fashion in the conveying path of the system, wherein diameter deviations of the wheel or of the roller from a predefined set point diameter can be sensed in a contactless fashion and signaled with said measuring station.

Abstract
The invention relates to a device and a method for automatically sensing the wear state of movable wheels or rollers (1) in conveying systems, for example baggage conveying systems. It achieves the object of easily and reliably sensing the wear state in an automatic fashion using measuring equipment when the roller to be checked runs through the system, by means of a measuring station (2,3) which is arranged in a stationary fashion in the conveying path of the system and in which diameter deviations of the wheel or of the roller (1) from a predefined set point diameter can be sensed in a contactless fashion and signaled.

20. A measuring method for automatically sensing the wear state of movable wheels or rollers in conveying systems, comprising:
-
providing two parallel photoelectric barriers which are spaced apart from one another in a defined fashion;
interpreting a brief simultaneous interruption of both photoelectric barriers when the wheel or the roller runs through said barriers as an indication of a wheel without wear or a roller without wear; and
interpreting the absence of a brief simultaneous interruption of both photoelectric barriers when the wheel or the roller runs through the photoelectric barriers as an indication of a worn wheel or a worn roller. - View Dependent Claims (21)
