Claim 25:
26. A method for manufacturing a hoisting rope of a hoisting apparatus, the hoisting rope comprising one or more elongated composite members as load bearing members of the hoisting rope, the method comprising:
inspecting a quality and/or condition of the one or more said elongated composite members based on
providing the one or more said elongated composite member,
changing a temperature of the one or more said elongated composite member by cooling the one or more said elongated composite member by cooling the one or more said elongated composite members via a flank thereof, the cooling including inducing heat transfer from the one or more said elongated composite members such that the one or more said elongated composite members is in a cooled state after said changing of the temperature is complete,
scanning the one or more said elongated composite members from a lateral side thereof with a thermal imaging device after said changing of the temperature is complete and the one or more said elongated composite member is in the cooled state, and

creating thermographic images of the one or more said elongated composite member based on the scanning.
