ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and process for measuring the uncoiled length or coiled length of a cable of a winding gear such as a winch marks the cable along a generatrix of winding passing from one point of one turn of a layer of turns of the cable wound on a drum or on a subsequent layer carrying the cable for each would layer and on the total length of the cable corresponding to this layer at least one pair of equi-distant bench marks. A comparison is then made between the overall length, reeled off for each layer, and corresponding to the algebraic sum of the series of equal sections between them for each layer, to that calculated for a standard layer traversed by the cable. A processor receives successive periodic signals emitted by a measuring sensor which furnishes with each turn of the winch, as a function of the diameter of the turns and their number in each successive layer, a series of measurement signals which, once processed, furnish to a display device, the true length of a cable that has been reeled off or reeled on the drum.
