Abstract: A system for measuring wear performance of a ground engaging tool includes a first ultrasonic sensor that sends pulses in a direction substantially at a perpendicular to an unworn leading edge of the tool, and a second ultrasonic sensor that sends pulses in a direction at an angle offset with respect to the perpendicular to the unworn leading edge of the tool. The system also may include a wireless communication element sending signals from the ultrasonic sensors, and a controller receiving the signals from the communication element and determining wear performance of the ground engaging tool.
