ABSTRACT:
Cable processing control apparatus employs driven cable source and cable take up reels, or sheaves, and two variably spaced idling cable sheaves bearing multiple loops of cable as a fluctuating cable reservoir to accommodate pay off/take up reel discontinuities.
A microprocessor, cable discontinuity and reservoir sheave spacing transducers and output driver circuitry are utilized to efficiently and flexibly control the spacing between the idler sheaves as required, for example, to permit continuous cable processing when cable pay off/take up reels are replaced.
