In this study, an automated cable non-destructive test (NDT) system was proposed to monitor the steel cable. Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) method was applied for the cable inspection. A multi-channel MFL sensor head was fabricated using Hall sensors and permanent magnets. A wheel based Cable climbing robot was used to improve the accessibility to cable. In addition, remote data transmission and robot control were possible by applying the Wireless LAN communication. Finally, developed element techniques were integrated to MFL based Cable Climbing NDT system, and the field applicability of the integrated cable NDT system was verified through a field test.
