Abstract

See full text

The present invention generally relates to the detection of the discard state of high-strength fiber ropes. The invention relates to a device for detecting the discard state of high-strength fiber ropes for various operating conditions, wherein a rope core of the fiber rope is sheathed with a rope sheath which is intended to wear more quickly than the rope core, comprising an optical detection device for detecting the rope surface and/or a load spectrum counter for detecting the load cycles to which the fiber rope is subjected, and on the other hand to a lifting gear such as a crane comprising such a device. According to the invention, there is provided a detection device for detecting the light absorption coefficient and/or the degree of reflection of the rope sheath and an adaptation device for adapting the algorithm, by means of which the discard state is determined, in dependence on the detected light absorption coefficient and/or the detected degree of reflection.
