FLAW DETECTION OF STEEL ROPES
During the operation of rubber bands (RTL), the most dangerous and difficult to detect defects are stretching or damage (up to breakage) of the reinforcement of the rubber band made with steel cables. The article proposes an original algorithm for digital signal processing and a circuit implementation of the device data processing unit for monitoring the state of the cable base of the web of conveyor rubber bands, allowing to automate the process of monitoring and recording the results. The proposed implementation of the block and the data processing algorithm have been practically tested on real mine conveyors, where they have shown thehigh reliability of the proposed solutions and the repeatability of the results.
