CONDITION MONITORING AND FAULT DIAGNOSIS FOR TENSION UNBALANCE OF ROPES IN MULTI-ROPE FRICTION WINDER

This paper analyzes the reasons of the tension unbalance of the ropes in multi-rope friction winder, introduces the method of an on-line monitoring rope tensions with a testing device developed by authors, and proposes the criteria of the fault diagnosis and the method of adjustment for the tension unbalance of the ropes, which is important to the theoretical study on the tension unbalance of the ropes and the maintenance of multi-rope winder.
