AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing systems for securing wear components on material handling implements, such as excavator lips, are prone to high replacement costs and time due to frequent wear and damage from various loads.

Method used

The implementation of an adapter mounting system that includes a forward stabilizer and rear stabilizers, along with a fastener assembly and abutment, to securely attach wear components like teeth and shrouds to the material handling implement, thereby reducing lateral movement and stress.

Benefits of technology

This solution enhances the service life of wear components by stabilizing them on the implement, reducing the frequency of replacements, and minimizing operational costs associated with repair and maintenance.

Abstract

A wear component assembly can include a forward stabilizer attached to a forward end of a material handling implement lip, the forward stabilizer including inwardly facing abutment surfaces to engage respective outwardly facing abutment surfaces formed in an adapter. A wear component assembly can include a rear stabilizer attached to a rear fitment pad of a material handling implement lip, the rear stabilizer including inwardly facing abutment surfaces to engage respective outwardly facing abutment surfaces formed in a leg of an adapter. A wear component assembly can include a fastener abutment attached to a side of a material handling implement lip at a forward end of a fastener opening, and a fastener assembly extending through the fastener opening to thereby secure an adapter to the material handling implement lip.
