Automatic maintenance and inspection system for anti-twist steel wire ropes

Industry pain point: The fatal flaw of traditional maintenance and repair

Anti-twist steel wire ropes, as the core load-bearing components of special equipment, face three major challenges in traditional maintenance methods

• •​The flaw detection accuracy is insufficientManual inspection can only detect surface damage, and the missed detection rate of internal broken wires and rust exceeds 35%
• •​The maintenance and repair efficiency is lowA single maintenance session takes 6 to 8 hours, which seriously affects the operational efficiency of the equipment
• •​Prominent security risksHigh-altitude maintenance operation accidents accounted for 421t to 3T of the total number of lifting equipment accidents
• •​Serious waste of resourcesExcessive or insufficient maintenance leads to a shortened service life of the steel wire rope 30%

Three-in-one intelligent maintenance and repair system

The anti-twist steel wire rope automated maintenance and inspection system launched by Weite Technology integrates three core functions:

1. High-efficiency cleaning moduleThoroughly remove oil stains and impurities from the surface of the steel wire rope to meet industrial-grade cleaning standards
2. Precision detection moduleIt adopts strong magnetic flux leakage technology to accurately identify internal wire breakage defects of 0.5mm grade
3. Intelligent oil immersion moduleThe deep penetration of grease is achieved through a three-level temperature control system, and the lubrication efficiency is increased by 60%
4. ​Cloud management platformAutomatically generate three-dimensional damage maps, supporting ten-year data traceability and life prediction

Six core values

Automatic cleaning technologyEfficiently remove dirt and oil sludge from the surface of steel wire ropes, replacing traditional manual cleaning

Non-destructive testing technologyNon-contact non-destructive testing accurately identifies broken wires, rust, wear and other damages

Intelligent oil immersion technologyEvenly cover with maintenance oil to enhance lubricity and reduce friction

• Millimeter level flaw detection accuracyElectromagnetic non-destructive testing technology accurately locates internal damage, avoiding missed inspections by manual labor
• The efficiency of maintenance and repair has been doubledThe entire process is automated, reducing the single maintenance time from 8 hours to 2 hours
• The number of safety accidents has sharply declined.Eliminating the risks of manual operations at heights has reduced the accident rate by 851 tons to 3 tons
• Extended service lifeScientific maintenance has increased the average lifespan of steel wire ropes by 401t to 3T
• Digitalization of managementAutomatically generate damage location map detection reports and support multi-terminal viewing
• Significant cost optimizationThe comprehensive maintenance cost was reduced by 40%, and the equipment downtime loss was decreased by 70%

Industry application effectiveness

In the application of 40-ton gantry cranes at a certain international port:

• •The maintenance time has been reduced from 8 hours to 2 hours, with an efficiency increase of 75%
• •Three hidden wire breakage hazards were detected, preventing major overturning accidents
• •The service life of the steel wire rope has been extended to 28 months, exceeding the industry standard 40%
• •The annual comprehensive maintenance fee was saved by 1.26 million yuan

Full-scene adaptation capability

This system has been successfully applied to:

• •​The field of wind power hoistingEnsure the safety of the steel wire rope during the installation of the fan
• •​Port machinery fieldRealize intelligent maintenance and protection of the anti-twist steel wire rope of the door base machine
• •​Mine hoisting equipmentFully automatic detection and maintenance of steel wire ropes in mines
• •​Bridge construction projectMaintenance and management of cable cranes
• •​Ropeway transportation systemNon-destructive testing solution for bearing cables
