A cable drum feeding tool is for a vehicle with a lifting device. The tool has a primary gripper arm arrangement with a primary first gripper arm and a primary second gripper arm extending parallel and spaced apart from each other via a spacing, and a connection element connecting the primary gripper arms, and a primary gripper arm mechanism for moving at least one of the primary gripper arms. The tool further comprises rotation mechanism having a respective pivot at the primary gripper arms adapted to engage with respective flanges of a cable drum. The tool further has an attachment arrangement for releasably attaching the tool to the lifting device of the vehicle.

A spool holder includes a cylinder defining a longitudinal axis and having an external surface on which a spool of wire may be supported. A first plate is positioned at a first end of the cylinder and a second plate is positioned at a second end of the cylinder. Both first and second plates have portions extending radially outward from the external surface of the cylinder. The first and second plates both have a perpendicular orientation relative to the longitudinal axis. The first and second plates restrict axial movement of the spool of wire therebetween. The first plate and cylinder are stationary relative to a mounting structure, while the second plate is configured to rotate with the spool of wire. A mechanism urges the second plate and, thus, the spool of wire toward the first plate, thereby regulating rotation of the spool of wire.

A yarn feeder may comprise a driver and a winding wheel. The driver has a front cover, a rear cover, a stator disc and a rotor disc, and the front cover and the rear cover are configured to fit together to form a housing therebetween which accommodates the stator disc and the rotor disc therein. The stator disc has a first through hole, and a plurality of teeth are formed around the first through hole to enable a couple of coils to be wound thereon. The rotor disc has a connecting hole, and a plurality of magnetic members are formed around the connecting hole. A connecting base extended from a first end of the winding wheel is engaged with the connecting hole, and the driver is connected to a tension controller to detect the tension of yarn and further to control the rotational speed of the driver.

Provided are a mobile processing frame, a mobile processing system, and a method of processing. The mobile processing frame includes a base portion having an electrical receptacle and a pneumatic receptacle positioned thereon, a turntable rotatably coupled to the base portion, a motor secured to the base portion and operably connected to the turntable, a mobile support secured to the base portion, opposite the turntable, and a locking member configured to selectively restrict movement of the mobile support. The turntable is configured to receive a processing material thereon, and feed the processing material therefrom. The processing system includes the mobile processing frame, a control device, and a transport device configured to move the frame. The method includes positioning a processing material on a frame, moving the frame to a processing area, coupling a control device to the frame, and feeding the processing material from the frame to a processing device.

Cable tensioning based on load profiles is provided. A system can include a dispenser of a charger and one or more processors. The system can detect a characteristic of a vehicle. The system can determine, based at least in part on the characteristic of the vehicle, an amount of force to apply to a cable. The system can provide an instruction to cause the dispenser to apply the amount of force to the cable.
