Notes:
This paper deals with recent developments in non-destructive tests on operating steel wireropes, with the aim of analyzing their conditions and residual resistance. The instruments forexecuting magneto-inductive tests on wire ropes - employed in cableways, chairlifts, mine elevatorsand, occasionally, in equipment for handling material in harbours (e.g. gantry cranes and portainers)– are commonly composed of three parts: the revealing device (detector); power supply; and arecorder, equipped with an amplification apparatus and paper rolls for printing the results. Thesystem proposed in this work is composed of an innovative magnetic detector where the traditionalpaper recording system is substituted with a software interface that allows a digital recording of thesignal. The performances in terms of accuracy and linearity of the proposed detector are testedthrough proper laboratory set up and are presented and discussed
