Reel monitor devices and methods of using the same

摘要: The present invention includes systems and methods for monitoring the spooling area of a rotatable reel winding or unwinding an elongated material, example, cable. system has detector sensing presence position cable surface object operator positioned between reel. can control rotation directly, send signal to computer where indicates detected and/or position. have memory processor respectively storing analyzing signal. is operative compare previously received signals determine condition, amount on reel, any object, existence safety-threatening condition. generate output use in, controlling speed torque, application brakes.
