PROJECT SUMMARY

BACKGROUND:
Testing specifications for steel cables are based on
the technically available testing methods and equipment, which
fall into the following categories: controlled production
environment, destructive testing, visual inspection and magnetic
flux leakage / eddy current.

PRODUCT:
The basic CaSEware system measures the mechanical
properties of steel cables (e.g. ultimate tensile strength), and
detects defects non-destructively and in real time.
The system consists of a series of electromagnetic sensors
mounted near the cable, and a central data acquisition and
analysis system, which can be located in any suitable place. A
specially designed magnetic energizing unit introduces a dynamic
magnetic flux in the steel, and the sensors measure the response.
The resulting signals are analyzed on line and can be converted
to cable strength values. The measuring unit either travels along
the cable, or is stationary and the cable travels through it.

The commercial system will be a compact portable system possibly
based on a laptop computer.

ADVANTAGES
OF THE TECHNOLOGY: CaSEware is designed to detect, in
addition to broken wires detected by the current commercial
methods, any changes in strength resulting from causes like
fatigue, extreme temperature or overload. The technology is
capable of real time results, full-length cable testing,
non-destructive and non-contact monitoring.

PROJECT STATUS
The company is located at the Omer Industrial Park near
Beer-Sheva.
A purchase order has been received. Beta-Sites for system
evaluation has been established in Israel and in the USA. A
contract with the Israeli Air Force has been signed for testing
the system with helicopter rescue hoist cables. A second private
placement has been concluded. A third government R&D grant has
been received. The company's products for the elevator, hoist,
steel cable and steel wire industries are attracting the interest
of the respective world leaders of cable manufacture.

COOPERATION REQUIRED
Strategic partnership and/or financial investment.
