The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ropesys.com\/produkt-kategorie\/magnetische-seilpruefgeraete\/seilpruefgeraete-bis-83-mm\/\">ROPESYS R83<\/a> rope inspection device was used.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Four hoist ropes for a machine of superlatives<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Excavator 293 achieves a theoretical daily output of up to 240,000 cubic meters. Consequently, the demands placed on its technical components are equally high.<\/p>\n<p>Four wire ropes, each 75 millimeters in diameter, handle the lifting and lowering movements of the boom.<\/p>\n<p>Reliable inspection is particularly important for rope dimensions of this scale. For this reason, <span style=\"color: #c51d23;\">Dr. Martin Wehr <\/span>conducted the magnetic-inductive rope inspection directly on the machine. This allowed the <span style=\"color: #c51d23;\">ROPESYS R83<\/span> to demonstrate its capabilities under the real-world conditions of open-cast mining.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Magnetic-inductive testing of hoist ropes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A visual inspection alone cannot detect all changes in a wire rope. Magnetic-inductive rope testing, on the other hand, also allows for the examination of the rope&#8217;s interior.<\/p>\n<p>This allows for the detection of, among other things, localized wire breaks and cross-sectional losses.<\/p>\n<p>The <span style=\"color: #c51d23;\">ROPESYS R83 rope testing device <\/span>is designed for testing larger <span style=\"color: #c51d23;\">wire ropes<\/span>. The measurement data show the internal and external condition of the rope in real time, thereby providing important information for technical assessment.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #808080;\">ROPESYS R83 at the Hambach open-cast mine<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The rope inspection<span style=\"color: #c51d23;\"> on <span style=\"color: #c51d23;\">Excavator 293<\/span> demonstrates the versatility of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ropesys.com\/seilpruefgeraete\/\">ROPESYS rope inspection equipment,<span style=\"color: #c51d23;\"><\/span> as wire ropes are used in far more than just cranes, mine hoisting systems<span style=\"color: #c51d23;\">, or cable cars.<span style=\"color: #c51d23;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>They also perform important tasks in large pieces of machinery and must be reliably monitored.<\/p>\n<p>The inspection was carried out directly on-site using the ROPESYS R83 rope testing device.
