// Hook and Rope Inspection
essential components
Inspecting wear and
micro-damage
Hook and rope inspection is an invasive procedure for companies, as it requires stopping the installation and dismantling the parts involved.
A vision system makes it possible to carry out this inspection cyclically while the installation is running, with parameters that can be adjusted over time.
These systems flag an anomaly as soon as it appears, instead of waiting for routine maintenance intervals.
Rope inspection
Strand analysis
On a wire rope, failure rarely comes without warning. The first signs of wear are broken wires, local deformation and changes in lay pitch.
The system inspects the rope structure in service and identifies signs of wear before they can turn into a risk.
Where a winch is present, the same system monitors spooling on the drum and recognizes cable positioning errors, enabling immediate intervention to prevent damage and incidents.
Hook inspection
Deformation, opening and contact points
On hooks, continuous observation covers deformation, wear at contact points and the integrity of safety devices.
A measurement repeated at every cycle provides a trend on which maintenance interventions are planned.
