Design and development of a remote-controlled robotic system for real-time brake temperature monitoring in aerospace application

A remote-controlled robotic system for real-time brake temperature monitoring makes use of contactless, high-speed infrared (IR) sensors, often mounted on specialized robotics or vehicles, to measure the surface temperature of disc. The design enables remote monitoring, enabling predictive maintenance, downtime reduction and enhanced safety by detecting excessive heat. Aircraft F-35 Brake generate substantial kinetic energy, causing brake disc temperatures to reach 600 to 1400 degrees Celsius. At these temperatures, hydraulic oil in the pipelines may carbonize, and the braking servo valve, which is highly sensitive to oil contamination, can become clogged. Therefore, design and fabrication of a remote-controlled robotic system for real-time temperature monitoring for F-35 jet brake system using 3D printing technology. The solution incorporates an advanced technology to provide live feedback through a color-coded light system: a red light which indicates that the system has exceeded a specified threshold temperature, while a green light denotes normal operating conditions.
