摘要:
The present invention relates to a device for detecting the replacement state of wear of a high-strength fibre cable (1) for hoisting devices such as cranes, and to a hoisting device such as a crane, in which such a high-strength fibre cable is installed. In order to be able to more easily distinguish the particular degree of damage to the sheathing and thus the closeness to the forthcoming replacement state of wear, according to one aspect of the present invention, a device for detecting the replacement state of wear of such a high-strength fibre cable is provided with a reference damage memory in which reference representations of the cable with different degrees of damage to the sheathing (2) of the cable are contained, on the basis of which the particular degree of damage and/or wear to the sheathing is able to be determined by a visual comparison of an actual image of the cable with said reference representations, it being possible to determine the replacement state of wear therefrom.
