Research transfer of a monolithic rope termination of a high modulus fibre rope

计划项目的目的是将高模光缆单片式绳端发明的研究成果转移到行业中。基于研究结果，来自不来梅的Geo Gleistein&Sohn GmbH公司对将这些基础研究成果长期转化为工业产品表示了极大的兴趣。由于研究不是由产品完成的，人工工作步骤的分担对最终连接的质量和操作可靠性有重要影响，Gleistein决定与IFT一起进行一个联合转移项目，以确定研究对未来创新应用的影响。由于全球轻量化建筑的发展，Gleistein公司希望在起重机绳索、屋顶支撑和海上领域使用这种端部连接。Gleistein是一家生产高品质技术纤维绳的德国制造商。这家中型公司拥有110名员工，在不来梅的市场占有率为35%。这一结果将为最终的工业应用提供安全的系统奠定基础。因此，高模数纤维绳索可以成为未来一种创新的悬挂系统。其优点不仅是与钢丝绳相比重量减轻，只有钢丝绳重量的1/7，而且还可以实现传感器以及固有的能力。根据Gleistein公司的项目进行产业化。计划进行以下工作：针对竖绳和走丝绳的应用，主要是Geo Gleistein，在IFT的参与下，根据后期应用的要求和末端终端的要求设计两种不同的电缆结构变体和绳索直径并最终生产。随后，IFT IS将计算、设计末端连接并将技术诀窍转让给Gleistein公司。因此，高模数绳端终端可以在Gleistein工厂联合生产，这些终端还通过传感器技术进行测试，以确定在AP 1.4中描述的适用性测试期间进行预防性维护的可能性。根据预期的应用，系统地进行了拉应力试验和弯曲试验。对这类缆索系统的应用范围进行了检验，并确定了安全使用范围。根据结果，最终目标是系统地为应用程序开发一个理论上的时间稳定模型。该项目的总体目标是加强德国作为一个商业地点的地位。

The aim of the planned project is to transfer the research results of the monolithic rope termination invention for high modulus fiber ropes to the industry. Based on the research results, the company Geo Gleistein & Sohn GmbH from Bremen has expressed great interest in the long-term conversion and commercialization of these basic research results into industrial products. Since the research is not completed by the product and the share of the manual work steps has an important influence on the quality and operational reliability of the final connection, Gleistein has decided together with the IFT to pursue a joint transfer project in order to determine the research to future innovative applications. Due to worldwide lightweight construction developments, the company Gleistein would like to use this end connection in crane ropes, roof bracing and in the offshore sector. Gleistein is a German manufacturer of high-quality technical fiber ropes. The medium-sized company has a staff of 110 and a market share of 35% based in Bremen.The results will form the basis for providing safe systems for the final industrial applications. As a result, high modular fiber ropes can become established as an innovative suspension system in the future. The advantages are not only the weight savings compared to steel ropes, only 1/7 of the weight of steel ropes, but also the possibility to implement sensors as well as intrinsic abilities. The industrialization follows the project by the company Gleistein.The following work is planned:For the applications of the standing ropes and running ropes, mainly Geo Gleistein, with the participation of the IFT, designs two different cable construction variants and rope diameters both under requirements from the later application as well as under requirements from the end termination and finally produced.Subsequently, IFT is will calculate, design an end connection and transfer the know-how to the company Gleistein. Thus, high-modular rope end terminations can be produced jointly at the Gleistein plant, which are also tested by means of sensor technology for the possibility of preventive maintenance during the serviceability tests described in AP 1.4. Tensile stress tests and bending tests are systematically carried out according to the intended application.The application limits of such cable systems are examined and limits of safe application are defined. Based on the results, the final goal is to systematically develop a theoretical time-stable model for the applications.The overall objective of this project is to strengthen Germany as a business location.
