Abstract:
Device ( 100 ) for continually and automatically measuring geometrical and shaping parameters of a rope ( 8 ) comprising a first plate ( 1 ) and a second plate ( 2 ) parallel to each other and constrained in a removable way by means of spacer means ( 3 ) and anchoring means ( 4 ), at least two micrometers ( 5, 6 ) angularly unaligned one to the other and positioned between said first plate ( 1 ) and second plate ( 2 ), an encoder ( 7 ) anchored to the second plate ( 2 ), in contact with the rope ( 8 ) being the device ( 100 ) wherein said first plate (I) and second plate ( 2 ) comprise a shaped opening ( 9 ) for the passage of the rope ( 8 ) inside said shaped opening, so that the rope ( 8 ) centrally flows through the device ( 100 ) and the two micrometers ( 5, 6 ) carry out the measurements.

Claim (Index 7):
The method according to  claim 6  wherein said geometric and shaping parameters measurement is performed according to the following steps:\n extracting data vectors (RI, R 2 , R 3 ) relating to the function of the position measurement of the diameter of the rope coming from the LED sensors; \n extracting the maximum diameter vectors (CI, C 2 , C 3 ) by means of the data processing separately performed on each of the three series of LED sensors; \n eliminating fictitious maximum values that can be wrongly detected obtaining true maximum diameters vectors (C 1 P, C 2 P, C 3 P); \n extracting the maximum diameter values (G 1 , G 2  and G 3 );\u2014calculation of the diameter (G) value as an average between the maximum diameter values (G 1 , G 2  and G 3 ); \n calculating ovality value ( 0 ) as the maximum of the absolute value of the differences between all pairs of maximum diameter values (G 1 , G 2  and G 3 ); \n calculating the value of the pitch (P) performed on only one of the vectors (C 1 P); \n calculating of the straightness (T) performed on only one of the vectors (CI); \n calculating undulation (W); \n calculating the distance between the strands (V); \n generating graphics output.
