Abstract
In recent years, with the barrier-free public facilities, elevator has come to be also installed station and footbridge. Shortage of maintenance technicians has become a social problem with the increase of the elevator. In addition, an inspection of the elevator and amusement machine that have been suspended by wire rope is often overlooked since it depends on the visual inspection. For such a problem, by making a self-driving probe climber, work efficiency and ensure the safety of workers, such as improving the quality of maintenance can be expected. In this study, we developed a self-driving probe climber to detect of wear and corrosion damage of the wire rope at an early stage. It also provides the results of their verification for damage detection performance of wire rope and driving performance.
