At a construction site, an 80-ton tower crane was hoisting cargo when its wire rope suddenly broke. The cargo fell and flattened the operating room. The worker in the operating room died finally.

 

Wire rope, as an important component of the tower crane construction, plays an important role in the safe operation. However, in the actual operation process, the wear and aging of the wire rope have brought all kinds of potencial accidents, it not only causes huge economic losses, but also seriously threatened people's lives. Therefore, we must attach great importance to the safe use and maintenance of wire ropes to ensure the safe operation of tower crane construction.    

 

1. Insufficiency of existing wire rope monitoring methods

 

 

Traditional wire rope detection relies only on manual visual inspection, caliper measurement and other methods.

 

 

Manual visual inspection: it is easily affected by subjective judgment, visual fatigue and other factors, resulting in misjudgment or missed judgment.

 

 

Caliper measurement: Caliper measurement can often only detect certain specific size parameters of wire ropes, and cannot fully reflect its overall safety performance.

 

 

These methods are not only inefficient and difficult to cope with the detection needs in large-scale or complex environments, but also their accuracy is highly dependent on the experience and subjective judgment of the detection personnel, and it is difficult to ensure the objectivity and consistency of the results.                    

 

1. Insufficient detection depth: only surface damage can be found, internal hidden dangers are difficult to detect.

 

2. High requirements for personnel: technical personnel are required to conduct concentrated inspections for a long time, and the results are still easily affected by human factors.

 

3. Low efficiency: Manual inspection of wire ropes is about 0.3 meters per second, the inspection speed is slow, and multiple people are required to operate, wasting production time and labor costs.                

 

Therefore, it is necessary to introduce advanced detection technology to improve efficiency and safety. In the safety management and monitoring of wire ropes, Luoyang TST Flaw Detection Technology Co., Ltd (TST) has the core technology of "full magnetic detection". The wire rope safety monitoring system developed with great concentration can effectively monitor and evaluate the operating and safety status of wire ropes in various industries.

 

TST's full magnetic detection method is a non-contact, non-destructive detection method that can inspect the wire rope as a whole without damaging any structure of the wire rope.      

 

2. Advantages of TST Wire Rope Safety Monitoring System

 

 

1. Comprehensive quantitative damage assessment

 

The system can quantitatively judge various damage conditions of wire ropes, including but not limited to broken wires, wear, fatigue, rust, kinks, deformation, loose strands, etc., providing detailed data support for decision-making.

 

2. Timely danger warning mechanism

 

The system can monitor the status of wire ropes in real time during production, and issue warnings and alarms for serious damage and potential dangerous events to ensure early detection and early treatment of safety hazards.

 

3. Accurate and more efficient measurement capabilities

 

Integrate core intelligent sensor components with advanced edge computing algorithms to generate a comprehensive report on the use of wire ropes and make predictions on the life and future safety of wire ropes. Ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the measurement process, and effectively make up for the limitations and shortcomings of manual measurement.

 

4. Centralized supervision function

 

Managers can easily achieve remote monitoring through the main console unit, view the use of all wire ropes in the project and the trend of damage changes in real time, effectively prevent safety hazards, and improve management efficiency and safety.

 

3. Application of TST Wire Rope Intelligent Flaw Detection System

 

 

TST safety monitoring system conducts 24-hour*365-day real-time online monitoring of in-service wire ropes, providing strong support for the safe operation of tower cranes with its accurate, more efficient, comprehensive monitoring capabilities and convenient management methods.
