Material Ropeways in open-pit mining
Our Winspect® rope inspection system checks your material ropeway for wire breaks, changes in diameter and lay length
Combined visual and magnetic rope inspection on Material ropeways in open-pit mining
In open-pit mining, ropeways are mainly used to transport the material from the place of extraction to the place of further processing over difficult terrain. As in underground mining, the haulage ropes are the lifeline of material transport. To ensure that material is transported smoothly in this harsh environment, the ropes are also subject to regular inspection here. The Winspect inspection system plays a decisive role here in the economical and fully comprehensive visual rope inspection.
Features:
- Combined visual and magnetic rope inspection
- Avoidance of people travelling the entire route in cars of the material ropeway
- Transparency through a documented inspection result

Reliable visual inspection of steel ropes. Would you like to automate your rope inspection?
The Winspect® rope inspection system was developed together with the IFT and Automation W+R GmbH and brought to market maturity.
Due to the worldwide demand for the Winspect® testing system for ropes, this area was spun off into Winspect GmbH & CoKG in Austria and Winspect GmbH in Munich. Both companies are dedicated to the further development and international marketing of visual rope testing systems.

Ropes are the load-bearing elements of cable-stayed bridges and give them their stability for decades. Environmental influences such as weather and pollution caused by increasing heavy goods traffic put enormous strain on the structures. The ropes protected against corrosion by a multi-layer coating (sheathing) must be checked at regular intervals both visually and magnetically inductively in order to detect and repair any damage at an early stage.
