Caterpillar introduces track wear sensor exclusive to Cat machines

Exclusive to Cat machines and undercarriages, the proprietary Cat track wear sensor (CTWS) remotely monitors undercarriage wear to better predict wear out, plan maintenance and increase machine uptime. Monitored within the Cat wear management system, the new CTWS wirelessly communicates critical track link wear information from the machine to the dealer for monitoring. Timed alert intervals – a 40% wear alert for possible bushing turns, 70% to signal for measuring and replacement part ordering, and 100% for required replacement – improve inspection scheduling and streamline ordering of replacement parts.
