• Visual inspection
● Corrosion internal and external – reason for the loss ● Fatigue due to repetitive bending over
of metallic area - LMA drum/sheave and overloading causes broken
wires – LF
● External and internal abrasion due to interaction
between surface and drum/sheave and internal wires ● Excessive heat due to frequent bending on
causes LMA the sheaves or accidental fire causes LF
How effective is Visual Inspection?
• Inner wires are not inspected .
Magnetic Head
1. Contains Permanent Magnet that saturates wire being inspected
2. Also houses Hall Sensors for detecting LMA and LF
Basic Unit
1. Interfaces with Magnetic Head
2. Stores data and displays information
3. Battery Operated

Software – Wintros / WintrosRTV
Correct Interpretation of test results is the most important issue when making the decision about the future of
the rope. Downloading and future analysis of the traces are provided with the in-house developed software
Wintros , delivered along the basis unit .
** Note : New software Wintros RTV (Real-Time-View) is developed for on-line screening of traces with
simultaneous saving into data logger . Real Time monitoring of the traces can be done simultaneously
with the inspection being carried out .
