Abstract

Mechanical to electrical transducers (12) employing magneto-elastic effects are mounted on the fairleads (24) which lead strands or wires to the closer head (27) of a wire rope making or stranding machine (20). The transducers (12) produce signals which include a useful signal reflecting the tensions of the strands or wires and background noise, which is processed by hardware (16) and software which enhance the useful signal. These signals are constantly displayed for the operators who manually control the machine (20), archived for record purposed and/or extended to feedback loops of control means for automating control of the tensions during operation of the machine (20). Better quality control and avoidance of corkscrew, wave or sunken strand phenomena are aimed at.
