Description
Summary:The Sometimes unexpected overloads start up in multi sheave friction drives which could cause the breakage of the wire rope.To analyze the breakage and the overload process a 7 sheaves examiner machine was developed and built. Since the visual measuringprocess provides several good advantages in this machine a spring is used instead of wire rope. At the beginning the distance of threadsand pixels (in the picture) were measured manually. The aim of this paper is to show the automation method of the visual measuringprocess by the Matlab software in the Image Processing Toolbox.
