After all, too much oil is not optimal either. The lubricant should, of course, match the components. There are also already great developments, such as automatic rope lubricators that dispense oil drop by drop or automatic lubricators that help find the right amount of lubrication,&#8221; says K\u00fchner.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;First of all, I have to say, of course you can&#8217;t lump all rope functions and ropeway types together, but basically the following applies: Through more than ten thousand bending cycles, the rope gets tired. The easiest way to slow down this process is to run less (by running every half hour and transporting guests in groups) or to run slower, but you have to look at whether this can be implemented from an economic point of view. For example, in bad weather,&#8221; says Konstantin K\u00fchner.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-3 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\"; position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;z-index:-1;background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(), to())!important;background: -webkit-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -moz-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -ms-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -o-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_6 1_6 fusion-one-sixth fusion-column-last gradient-column-4\" style=\"width:16.666666666667%;width:calc(16.666666666667% - ( ( 0px ) * 0.16666666666667 ) );margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-2 hover-type-none\"><img width=\"512\" image_height=\"512\" image_id=\"47770\" title=\"ol\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ol.png\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-47770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ol-200x200.png 200w, https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ol-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/www.simagazin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ol.png 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/span><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-4 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\"; position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;z-index:-1;background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(), to())!important;background: -webkit-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -moz-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -ms-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;background: -o-linear-gradient(0deg, , )!important;}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 gradient-container-3 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#e2e2e2;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_2_3 2_3 fusion-two-third fusion-column-first gradient-column-5\" style=\"width:66.666666666667%;width:calc(66.666666666667% - ( ( 0px ) * 0.66666666666667 ) );margin-right: 0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><h3>Maintain splice on orbits<\/h3>\n<p>According to K\u00fchner, the splice is the first thing to fail during operation if the rope is not properly maintained. &#8220;It&#8217;s important to keep an eye on the splice and shorten the rope in time.

For example, in the search for damage and its localization on the rope. &#8220;A French software specialist is researching the use of artificial intelligence in rope inspection. With magnetic inductive testing, I can detect the damage for sure, but I still need visual inspection to assess specific damage. The AI can convert the signal and indicate where the problem is,&#8221; K\u00fchner describes.<\/p>\n<p>One bureaucratic innovation is customized operating equipment, even for smaller plants. &#8220;This is important because an adapted maintenance plan can be ensured as soon as the plant is commissioned. In the past, that wasn&#8217;t followed through quite as consistently.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In addition, there are now also some software tools that can assist with maintenance planning. &#8220;More and more often, a quick check is also carried out with a drone. This increases employee safety,&#8221; concludes K\u00fchner.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-11 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\";
