Magnetic
NDT of wire rope is a recognized method in regular use for inspection in deep
mines and cableways for a better part of three decades.
Water Weights with
over 25 years experience in the crane industry possess extensive knowledge of
customer requirements. Building on this experience, we have developed with key partners a line of
wire rope monitoring products for permanent installation, or portable
inspection on cranes.
The tool is composed of a detector head, connected to an acquisition system and a small
computer that shows, stores and creates test reports.
computer that shows, stores and creates test reports.
Condition
Monitoring
Permanently installed
on cranes, elevators, & cable-ways, the system allows constant monitoring
and data logging of the wire rope condition, allowing for trending and
establishing predictive maintenance schedules. The process eliminates downtime
for unexpected activities such as rope replacement, and helps the budget by
only replacing the wire rope when necessary or during planned maintenance
schedules.
Periodic
Testing
The system is
portable and lightweight enabling use during planned inspections and
maintenance periods.
The system uses a
method based on the magnetization of the wire rope, detecting discontinuity
such as broken wires or corrosion pits through special sensors as the rope
passes through the device.
It is a dual function
device, detecting both local faults (LF) and total change of metallic area
(LMA) such missing wires, continued corrosion, and abrasion not readily
identified through visual inspection.
With it’s global
presence expanding, Water Weights provide products and services aimed at
optimizing lifespan and performance of critical lifting equipment.
Our systems provide real time measurement of critical components to support the daily operation and long term maintenance of cranes.
Well, condition monitoring and periodic testing is a major part of crane maintenance and service as the whole performance of the crane depends on it. So, in this way it's very important schedule periodic testing very well.

I think that wire ropes are really cool. It would be cool to have some of my own. I can think of some pretty fun things to do with them.

Today, wire rope is typically made of steel, and is used with heavy machinery such as cranes or elevators, as well as in cable cars and aerial lifts. It is also used in suspension bridges. Depending on the application, it may be coated with vinyl or nylon. The benefit to these coatings is that it makes the wire rope more resistant to weather, and therefore more durable overall.
ReplyDeleteFound your blog. Its really nice oncivil engineering. I appreciate your article. Its important to get quality all type of civil engineering site. So thanks for sharing all that important information.
ReplyDeleteThis article gives the light in which we can observe the reality. This is very nice one and gives indepth information. Thanks for this nice article.
