Abstract: An insert for a turbocharger support housing is provided. The insert includes a main body having a first surface and a second surface. The first and second surfaces define a thickness of the main body therebetween. The main body is configured to mate with a wear prone surface of the turbocharger support housing. The insert also includes a plurality of projections extending from the second surface. Each of the plurality of projections has an opening communicating with the first surface and a bottom end of the projection, such that each of the plurality of projections is configured to correspond with a mounting bore on the wear prone surface.

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 mobile platform for a robot system is described. The mobile platform includes a base member having a first surface and a second surface. The mobile platform also includes a plurality of walls extending vertically from the first surface to define an enclosure. The enclosure is configured to receive at least a portion of the robot system. Further, the mobile platform includes one or more members extending from the second surface to define an opening. The opening is configured to receive an arm of a lifting device.
