Abstract

See full text

A monitoring system for at least one cutting bit connectable to a milling drum of a machine is disclosed. The monitoring system may include at least one transmitter disposed within the at least one cutting bit and configured to emit a signal associated with the at least one cutting bit. The monitoring system may further include a reader configured to detect the signal emitted by the at least one transmitter, and a controller electronically connected to the reader. The controller may be configured to determine that the at least one cutting bit is connected to the milling drum based on the signal emitted by the at least one transmitter, and determine when a wear level of the at least one cutting bit exceeds a threshold based on the signal emitted by the at least one transmitter.
