Drones in outdoor use

The drone tensions the rope

Seilflechter has developed a new range of special high-strength Novoleen ropes for flying drones. Drones can tension these ropes on construction sites and then attach thick ropes to them.

Flying drones have not only been taking photos and films for a long time, but are also taking on increasingly important tasks on construction sites, in the forestry sector, in bridge construction, for cable cars and mountain railroads or in shipping. For example, to tension a rope for rope bridges or cable cars at a distance of 500 or 1,000 meters, drones now transport thin, so-called pre-stretched ropes to the desired target point. Thick ropes can then be attached to them and assembled for later use.

Drones thus replace the logistically complex and cost-intensive use of helicopters and score points thanks to their high flexibility and maneuverability. They can also be used to quickly establish a connection between two ships on the high seas.

Seilflechter has developed a new range of high-strength special Novoleen ropes for flying drones with a twelve-plait braid without a core. "Rope lengths of up to 2,000 meters are possible," says Managing Director Andreas Halle. "The Novoleen ropes are around 14 times lighter than a wire rope of the same thickness, have a special coating and are very easy to splice. They are thermally pre-stretched and can be recoated after hard use."

The special ropes are available with diameters of 1.3 to four millimetres and a breaking load of 220 to 1,400 dan. With a diameter of 1.3 millimetres, the weight per 100 meters is only 0.2 kilograms; with a diameter of four millimetres, it is 0.73 kilograms per 100 meters. On request, Seilflechter can supply the ropes with an annual identification number on the rope as well as a works and test certificate. as
