Abstract
A method, a device, and a system for contactlessly measuring wear of one or more components of an undercarriage assembly of a work machine are disclosed. For example, a method includes identifying a component to be measured for wear by a wear measuring device comprising a first sensor and a second sensor; based on the component, selecting component information associated with the component for the wear measuring device; simultaneously measuring: by the first sensor configured based on the component information, a first wear distance from the first sensor to a first measurement surface of the component, and by the second sensor configured based on the component information, a second wear distance from the second sensor to a second measurement surface of the component, and determines a wear level of the component based at least in part on the first wear distance and the second wear distance.
