Rope testing 4.0

Advancing digitalization and the associated technical developments also offer many new advantages and opportunities in the non-destructive testing of ropes.

Decades of experience in magnetic wire rope testing have resulted in a device concept that meets the requirements of both versatile testing tasks and safe, reliable data processing and rope evaluation.

• Wireless operation and visualization of the measurement. The measurement is continued even if the connection is lost and can be operated further when the connection is re-established.
• Innovative sensor concept with 2 induction coils and up to 48 Hall sensors, which are preprocessed and digitized in analog directly in the sensor head.
• LF and LMA signals available.
• 3D localization of the defects possible.
• More efficient magnet types than comparable systems.
• External cables are reduced to a minimum.
• In addition to the well-known expert system for testing service providers, an automated “smart device” is also available, which automatically analyzes and evaluates the condition of a rope.

Key Features:

• Database-based filing system for measurements incl. Synchronization option between test equipment and evaluation technology.
• Measurements can be stored and analyzed on the tester.
• Synchronization with a central database is available and allows convenient analysis of the data at a later time on another computer
• The software runs completely on the tester. The operation is thus possible with any Internet-capable terminal device with a common browser.
• Common editing functions such as trim, offset, etc. are available. The software automatically checks the functionality of the sensors. A self-check is performed before each measurement, with the setpoints stored on the sensor itself. The accidental installation of different sensor sizes is also detected and communicated to the user.
• The software itself performs a standard evaluation and immediately shows the user the degree of discard maturity.
• In addition to manual measurement data, such as pitch length and diameter, the user can also add photos to the detected defects and link them directly to the corresponding defect.

• Made in Germany

The production and distribution of the rope testing devices are carried out by ROPESYS GmbH under a license from ROTEC GmbH. The rope testing devices are available in the initial sizes. Further standard and special sizes are being planned.
