Rope testing device U28 Expert

U28 Expert rope testing device for precise and efficient rope testing

The U28 Expert rope testing device is a compact yet powerful testing device for the non-destructive testing of cable car support ropes with diameters up to 28 mm.

It was specifically developed for mobile applications and is particularly suitable for testing the suspension cables of cable cars. The cable testing device is coupled to the cable car's running gear and pulled along the cable. A pneumatic lifting and opening device is available as an option for traversing obstacles such as cable car supports or pylons.

With a weight of 8.5 kg and compact dimensions of 327 x 183 x 167 mm, the device combines high measuring accuracy with user-friendly handling.

The recorded measurement data can be directly captured, analyzed and documented via the ROPESYS software, enabling efficient on-site evaluation.

The rope testing device delivers reliable measurement results under real operating conditions and supports inspectors in the inspection of track ropes by enabling a sound assessment of the rope's condition. It thus makes an important contribution to the safety and quality assurance of cable cars.

Features and benefits of the U28 Expert rope testing device

The U28 Expert rope testing device impresses with its high performance in a compact design. It enables the reliable and non-destructive testing of load-bearing ropes with diameters ranging from 6 to 28 mm.

Integrated data acquisition, an internal power supply, a rechargeable battery, and Wi-Fi ensure that measurement results can be transmitted and processed directly. Especially when testing suspension cables, the wireless system offers real added value in terms of convenience and safety.

The rope testing device can be used on virtually any cableway system with track ropes (i.e., aerial tramways as well as 2-cable and 3-cable systems). The balanced ratio of low weight and compact design is particularly advantageous for mobile testing, as the device can be used safely even in hard-to-reach locations.

Users benefit from easy operation, high flexibility and reliable test results.

The U28 Expert rope testing device is therefore an ideal tool for anyone who wants to regularly, efficiently and safely test the supporting ropes of cable cars.

Further information

The U28 Expert rope testing device can be optimally combined with suitable sensors and guide jaws. Further details on sensors and guide jaws can be found here in the ROPESYS product catalog.
