Wire rope cable testers are designed for the detection of surface or subsurface cracks, flaws, internal wrapping, construction defects, internal corrosion or inclusions in cable or wire rope. Wire rope and cables are usually constructed of steel, so NDT techniques suitable for ferrous alloys are typically used. Cable and wire ropes are used in critical structural applications in aircraft, bridges, seismic building support and tower guy wiring where failure can result in a loss in life, operating loss due to down time and a considerable capital expense to replace the damaged structure. Cracks or other flaws are monitored by wire rope cable testers as part of a predictive maintenance program. When a detected flaw or an eminent flaw exceeds safety limits, the product can be repaired or replaced and the structure can continue operating safely. Special automatic, in-line inspection systems are also used for inspection during production of the product. Products & Services
Flaw detectors are nondestructive testing instruments that can detect or measure defects in raw materials or finished products.
Wire rope and mechanical cable is wound from high-strength metal strands for structural, mechanical actuation and motion control applications.
Non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment is used to detect, inspect, and measure flaws, bond integrity, and other material conditions without permanently altering or destroying the examined part or product.
Non-destructive testing (NDT) services use test methods to examine an object, material or system without impairing its future usefulness.
Wire rope fittings includes clips, sleeves, stud ends, eyes, forks and other hardware used to construct mechanical cable assemblies.
