Robotic Wire Rope Inspection Services
According to a maintenance world article on steel rope wire failures “In 1998, a crane load line broke while lifting the south topside module of the Petronius platform, dropping the module into the Gulf of Mexico.
The cost was estimated to be around 116 million US dollars. Since 1999 more than 60 people have been killed as a result of wire ropes breaking and more than 65 associated injuries.”

Robotic Wire Rope Inspections -Locate loss of metallic area and corrosion inside wire ropes. No lane closure or bucket trucks required. Robots are portable, wireless and accurate. No cranes, bucket trucks or visual subjective inspections. Infrastructure Preservation Corporation’s (IPC) has developed a portable robotic wire rope inspection service that utilizes magnetic flux leakeage, a non-destructive testing technology that has been around for 25 years. Magnetic Flux Leakeage along with robotic non-destructive testing and interpretation software provide the most quantitative data to date for wire rope and cable inspections.
Assembly Specialty Products does a good job of explaining different issues with wire ropes here.
Typical Characteristics & Causes of Broken Wire Rope
Troubleshooting Broken Wires in Wire Rope
Tension Breaks
Wire break shows one end of broken wire coned, the other cupped. Necking down of
the broken ends is typical of this type of break. Where tension breaks are found, the rope
has been subjected to overloading, either for its original strength (new rope) or for its
remaining strength in the case of a used rope. Tension breaks frequently are caused by the sudden application of a load to a slack rope, thereby setting up incalculable impact stresses.
Abrasion Breaks
Wire break shows broken ends worn to a knife-edge thinness. Abrasive wear obviously
is concentrated at points where the rope contacts an abrasive medium, such as the grooves
of sheaves and drums, or other objects with which the rope comes into contact. Unwarranted abrasive wear indicates improperly grooved sheaves and drums, incorrect fleet angle, or
other localized abrasive conditions.

“How to Inspect Wire Rope Slings According to ASME B30.9 Standards
Learn more about OSHA and ASME inspection requirements, inspection frequencies, and removal criteria for wire rope slings.
Do you know who is supposed to be inspecting your lifting slings? More importantly, do you know how often they’re inspecting them? OSHA and ASME have different inspection requirements, frequencies, and removal criteria for each type of sling—including alloy chain slings, synthetic slings, metal mesh slings, and wire rope slings.
At Mazzella Companies, we understand the amount of effort and coordination it takes to stay current on industry standards and to develop an inspection program that keeps your business in compliance. Because of this, we have a dedicated business unit made of up highly-trained and qualified inspectors and technicians that focus only on rigging equipment inspections, industry compliance, and sling testing and repair.
In this article, our goal is to help you understand what is required for your wire rope slings to meet ASME standards, which in turn, will help to ensure the safety of the users, help extend the service life of the slings, and help reduce unnecessary equipment repair costs and loss of production due to equipment downtime.
