These include the hoist ropes, the condition of which must be assessed regularly and reliably. <\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1ij24ou\" data-start=\"1953\" data-end=\"1998\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Magnetic testing of large wire ropes<\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2000\" data-end=\"2192\">A purely visual inspection cannot reveal all changes in a wire rope.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2000\" data-end=\"2192\">This is because certain types of damage occur inside the rope and cannot be clearly detected from the outside.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2194\" data-end=\"2469\">The <span style=\"color: #c51d23;\">ROPESYS R83 rope testing device,<\/span> on the other hand, <span style=\"color: #c51d23;\">enables magnetic testing of the wire rope.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2194\" data-end=\"2469\">This allows for the detection of, among other things, localized wire breaks and cross-sectional area losses. The measurement data thus provide additional information regarding the internal and external condition of the rope. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2471\" data-end=\"2693\">This additional information is particularly important for wire ropes with a diameter of 75 millimeters.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2471\" data-end=\"2693\">For the larger the rope and the greater the load it bears, the more important a reliable technical assessment becomes.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"udc33c\" data-start=\"2695\" data-end=\"2723\"><span style=\"color: #808080;\">Rope testing device for open-pit mining<\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2725\" data-end=\"3028\">The application on <span style=\"color: #c51d23;\">Excavator 293 <\/span>demonstrates how a <span style=\"color: #c51d23;\">ROPESYS rope testing device<\/span> can be used even under the specific conditions of an open-cast mine.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2725\" data-end=\"3028\">It is not just the measurement itself that is the focus; safe handling, meaningful measurement data, and their expert assessment are equally important. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3030\" data-end=\"3202\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">In this way, the<span style=\"color: #c51d23;\"> ROPESYS R83 rope testing device<\/span> provides information on the condition of the rope exactly where it is needed: <span style=\"color: #c51d23;\">right at the massive machine operating in the Hambach open-cast mine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>ROPESYS \u2013 Safety at the highest level. <\/strong><strong>Made by engineers in Germany.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Further information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u25b6<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@rotecgmbh\"> <strong>YouTube<\/strong><strong><br \/><\/strong><\/a>Discover more videos about our rope testing systems, application examples, and innovations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udcbc<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/rotecgmbh\/\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/strong><strong><br \/><\/strong>Follow ROTEC for current projects, new products, and insights into our development work.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>In the picture: <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.ropesys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Seilpruefung-am-Bagger-293-RWE-Power-AG-im-Tagebau-Hambach-2.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Rope inspection on Bucket-Wheel Excavator 293 using ROPESYS R83&#8243; title_text=&#8221;ROPESYS R83 during rope inspection on Excavator 293 \u2013 Rope inspection on Excavator 293 \u2013 RWE Power AG at the Hambach open-cast mine \u2013 2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.8&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ROPESYS R83 on Bucket-Wheel Excavator 293.
