"Early Warning to Prevent Accidents! TST Wire Rope Flaw Detection System Helps You

2025-04-28

Steel wire ropes are the "lifelines" of the industrial sector, but they can also be hidden "invisible killers." According to statistics, there are over 5,000 accidents globally each year caused by steel wire rope breakages, with more than 30% resulting in major casualties. Some cases like:

Shocking Reality:

In 2023, a runaway vehicle accident occurred at the Kunyuan Coal Mine of a coal company in Heilongjiang, where a broken steel wire rope led to 12 deaths and 13 injuries—a major accident.

On March 20, 2022, a tower crane at a construction site in Shijiazhuang fell from a height, crushing a sedan car. According to eyewitnesses, the crane was hoisting the tower crane when the steel wire rope snapped, causing it to plummet.

In 2021, at a machinery manufacturing plant, improper safety measures during the lifting of steel plates caused the steel wire rope to bend and deform, leading to a sudden breakage that killed one worker on the spot.

Lessons Written in Blood Reveal Industry Pain Points:

Traditional "visual and manual" inspection methods fail to detect internal damage in steel wire ropes, while routine replacement strategies result in massive waste due to their blind application!

Facing this global challenge, Luoyang TST Flaw Detection Technology Co., Ltd spent 37 years on research and development to introduce the world's leading intelligent flaw detection system:

Multi-modal sensor fusion: Combines high-sensitivity magnetic sensor detection with AI-powered optical scanning to simultaneously capture all types of defects, including surface wire breaks, internal corrosion, and deformations, with precision three times higher than international standards.

AI deep self-learning: Trained on over 10,000 real accident cases, the algorithm can automatically distinguish between "harmless scratches" and "high-risk cracks," with a false alarm rate below 0.5%.

24/7/365 Real-Time Monitoring: Online dynamic detection with instant alerts for abnormal conditions, eliminating "operation with defects"; efficiency improved by 200 times compared to traditional manual inspection.

Accurate Lifespan Prediction: Dynamically calculates residual strength through damage growth models, avoiding "premature replacement" or "overdue service."
