Recently, at one Iron Mine of a smelting company in Shanxi Province, three workers illegally rode a mine car down the mine, later the wire rope broke and the car ran away. Two of them were seriously injured and one was slightly injured. Later, two people died due to failed rescue.     

During the subsequent investigation, the company discovered that they do not have the  “pre-inspection records for the wire rope”, the reason showed below:

 
 

1) The steel wire rope of the underground mine car was not strong enough or was overloaded due to fatigue damage, which led to the breakage of the steel wire rope and the accident.

 

2) The company was lax in management and did not conduct daily monitoring of the steel wire rope of the underground mine car, and did not promptly discover the steel wire rope and its existing defects.          

 

 

As an important key component in lifting, transportation, hoisting and bearing equipment, wire rope is widely used in coal, metal mines, lifting and hoisting, construction, water conservancy, electricity, tourism, ports and terminals, transportation, oil drilling and other fields.

 

Globally, wire rope breaking accidents occur in various fields in countries around the world every year, with huge casualties and property losses. How to prevent the safety hazards of wire ropes in lifting equipment has become a major problem in many scenarios!         

 

At present, Luoyang TST wire rope flaw detection technology Co., Ltd has advanced intelligent non-destructive flaw detection technology for wire ropes and can customize wire rope flaw detection equipment for various scenarios. Replacing traditional manual detection methods, with its “fast, accurate and precise” monitoring capabilities, it easily replaces inefficient and error-prone manual inspections, provides early warning of potential safety hazards, and ensures production safety.

 

(1) "Fast" detection.

 

Fast detection means higher efficiency. The TST wire rope intelligent flaw detection system can conduct 7/24 real-time online monitoring, real-time warning, which saves the maintenance time.

 

(2) Accurate detection

 

Accurate detection means that the detection results are true and accurate. The TST wire rope intelligent flaw detection system strictly follows the national and international wire rope safety use standards. It can determine the use of wire ropes based on the detection results, provide early warning of safety hazards and make the inspection not "simple".

 

(3) Precision detection

 

The TST wire rope intelligent flaw detection system conducts quantitative detection of various damages such as broken wires, wear, corrosion, fatigue, etc. Including the inside and outside the wire rope flaws, providing users with a scientific basis for safe use and reasonable updates that meet standards and specifications.
