After two days of intensive discussion, we are returning to Chemnitz. An outstanding conference featuring high-level technical exchange has left a lasting impression. We were able to enrich the in-depth exploration of the world of fibre and steel wire ropes with two presentations of our own based on current research….

After around a year of planning, design and construction, we have commissioned our first and probably unique planetary stranding machine for fibre ropes at the newly established Rope Technology Centre (STZ) at Chemnitz University of Technology. This completely new and self-development machine is equipped with 3 rows of 6 baskets,… Weiter lesen„New stranding machine for high-performance fibres put into operation“
Vom 15.09. bis 19.09.2025 hatten wir die KV R&D CENTER GMBH in Chemnitz an der Professur für Förder- und Materialflusstechnik zu Gast. Wir haben die Mitarbeiter des Unternehmens im Bereich „Textile Tragmittel“ geschult. Dazu wechselte das Programm unserer Schulung zwischen theoretischen Inhalten, praktischer Versuchsdurchführung und Algorithmenentwicklung bzw. Datenanalyse. Es waren… Weiter lesen„Schulung „Textile Tragmittel““
Regarding the measurement of the Coefficient of Friction (COF) of ropes and belts on sheaves standards often remain unspecific (e.g. DIN EN 81-20:2020 Chapter 5.5.3). COF assessment is often described only on a system level (e.g. DIN EN 81-20:2020 Chapter 6.3.3) in terms of preventing specific malfunction events. In contrast… Weiter lesen„How to preciscely measure friction – e.g. on elevator ropes and sheaves“
