The DLM 60t Running Line Monitor measures the tension on a rope passing through its three wheels. Typically used in cable laying and winch operations to measure and record line tension the robust design has become an industry standard.
  • Designed to be used in harsh environments, the modular design allows for easy setup, installation and servicing. Can be supplied with various diameter wheels to suit particular rope.
  • The centre wheel axle is a gauged load pin load cell with a subsea rated connector for connection to the sealed integrated 4-20mA amplifier
  • Line speed and distance is measured using an integrated rotary encoder mounted onto the bottom encoder wheel, in a sealed IP68 housing.
  • The monitor can be supplied as a separate item for integration with customers existing PLC’s or with a DLM digital display/HMI touch screen display.
The TIMH is constructed from marine grade stainless steel and is suitable for many wire rope configurations up to 150t and will, as an option, calculate line out and speed. The TIMH has several mounting points featured in its unique design but if other mounting options are required, Straight-point can provide a custom engineered solution specific to your application.
