Cable and Chain Monitoring

More implementations in our database

Cable and chain monitoring detects breaks, abrasion and structural changes in cables and chain links based on movement anomalies and physical measurements. Monitored parameters include tensile and compressive forces, bending radii, insulation resistance, temperature, current and vibration events. This makes maintenance plannable, and defective links or sections can be located and replaced in a targeted way.
