Software browser
A specific software intended to use as an extension for Wire Rope Tester or GP test head.
MD120PRE Software Browser for analogue signals MDIPlotter Browser for analogue signals of sensors of wire
of sensors of wire rope testers or heads, digitalized and recorded by rope testers or heads, digitalized and recorded by
MDNV 1-Channel Adapter or MD120 Wire Rope Defectograph MDNV-USB 2-Channel Adapter

Sensor of wire rope tester or test head generates uniform noise signal if the wire rope is uniform. Broken wire or other
defect generates pulse in LD sensor signal. Its magnitude and shape depends on defect dimensions. Distributed loss of
steel is reflected by change of LMA channel signal level. Program converts specific binary file created by MDNV and
shows signal trace on computer screen. The trace or its selected part can be shifted, zoomed, etc. Signal value can be
measured on mouse click and user can type annotations on the trace.
MD-20 WIRE ROPE TESTER
MD-25 WIRE ROPE TESTER

An Instrument to Detect Damage in Wire Ropes

The MD 20 / MD 25 Wire Rope Tester is a simple to use instrument to test the condition of small
diameter ropes. It indicates the occurrence of rope defects that exceed the set level of
detectability.

It can also be used as a sensor head connected to the more advanced Meraster MD 120, which
determines defects more accurately, or can be connected to a general purpose recorder.

Applications
The instrument is designed to detect stepwise defects such as wire breaks and localised corrosion.

It is intended for quick tests and can be used even by non-skilled personnel. Provided with a
handle and light in weight, it can be used as a hand-held instrument during visual inspection to
ensure that no important defect is missed and that any damage inside a rope is detected. The
instrument can also be fixed in position (i.e. not hand held). Any signaling of serious defects
identified by the tester means that the rope's condition should be checked by an expert.

Operation
The instrument's operation is based on the permanent magnet magnetic, a world renowned
method developed by the Academy of Mining and Metalurgy in Cracow. During the rope's
passage through the tester defects are signalled by a beep sound, a yellow light-emitting
diode flashing and a red LED operates, remaining on until the instrument is switched off,
using the on-off switch. If there are no defects in rope that exceed the detection value set,
then the green LED is illuminated
