G01L 5/04

US Classification:

702 41, 73862194, 73862041

Abstract:

A device having a winch spool, a torque sensor that measures torque of the winch spool, a first angle sensor that detects a first angle of a winch line relative to a central axis of the winch spool, and a second angle sensor that detects a second angle of the winch line coming from a coil of line on the spool relative to a surface of the coil of line is disclosed.

International Classification:

B66C 13/16
B66C 15/00

Abstract:

A solid-state anemometer mounted to an upper location of a load boom and detecting a wind speed reading at the upper location on the load boom. A wireless transmitter communicatively coupled to the solid-state anemometer and obtains the wind speed reading and wirelessly transmits the same to a receiver.

Abstract:

A cable drum receives a length of working cable that is wound in and out from the drum in response to powered rotation of the drum with an uppermost layer of working cable on the drum forming a working surface. A torque sensor in communication with the cable drum measures a torque applied to the cable drum due to tension on the working cable from a load. A drum height gauge is provided for measuring a height of the working surface of the cable on the cable drum. A processor receives the torque value from the torque sensor and the height of the working surface from the drum height gauge and computes a force applied to the length of working cable due to the load based on the torque and height of the working surface. The work performed by the cable may be calculated to assist in determining cable health.
