Expertise in Rope and Wire Rope Fatigue Testing for Bridge, Mining Elevators, Cranes & Off Shore
M.R.E. develops innovative, one-of-a-kind solutions for the most challenging issues facing rope and wire rope technology applications .
Our proprietary technology allows rope manufacturers and end users to test ropes under real loading conditions, fully simulating the actual loading cycles of hoisting and elevation applications such as deep mining, elevators, cranes, and off-shore installations.
Our advanced in-line monitoring technology detects underlying faults and imperfections in the stranding and closing processes of shaped strand ropes, ensuring that no faulty strand reaches the closing process.
M.R.E. technology features international patents and is currently being used by leading rope manufacturers worldwide.
Our services and expertise include: M.R.E Matron rope and wire rope engineering has developed an online robotic facility for monitoring bridge cables
- Special test machines that simulate ultra-deep mining shafts and evaluate the service life of wire ropes in these applications.
- Tension - Torsion Fatigue testing of wire ropes.
- Design of fatigue facilities and testing procedures for the examination of wire rope performance according to specific hoisting and elevation applications.
- Computer simulation of the rope's mechanical properties and the design/optimization of rope and wire rope cross sections.
- In-line monitoring of geometrical features of un-circular and shaped strands during stranding and closing processes
- Cranes/wire rope inspection, analysis and investigation of causes for fast rope deterioration.
- Determination of discard criteria for wire ropes according to specific applications.
- Testing of elevator ropes under traction conditions.
- Hoisting and elevation system analysis for optimal service life.
- Laboratory facilities for the testing of wire ropes.
