Abstract: A method of determining wear of a worn surface of a machine component includes providing a scanning device at a distance from the worn surface. The method also includes moving at least one of the scanning device and the worn surface relative to the other and generating a set of data points via the scanning device. Each data point of the set of data points is indicative of a depth of a corresponding point on the worn surface relative to a reference plane. The method further includes determining a maximum depth of the worn surface based on the set of data points and comparing the maximum depth to a reference value to determine a next step in a remanufacturing process of the machine component.

Abstract: A cutter may be configured to sever elastomeric material of a non-pneumatic tire. The cutter may include a mounting fixture configured to be operably coupled to an actuator, and a guide associated with the mounting fixture. The guide may include an elongated rod like member having a longitudinal axis. The cutter may further include a blade configured to sever the elastomeric material, wherein the blade is operably coupled to the guide and extends along the longitudinal axis of the guide. The blade may have a cutting edge remote from the mounting fixture.

Abstract: A method of remanufacturing a component having a heat treated hardened layer over a substrate material is disclosed. The method includes removing at least the heat treated hardened layer of the component to expose the substrate material. The method also includes providing a cladding material on the substrate material. The method further includes melting the cladding material via a laser beam to form a single layered coating with hardness greater than or substantially equal to hardness of the heat treated hardened layer, on the substrate material.
