US Patent 11358830 Robotic spooler

A robotic spooler may be provided. First, a first take-up section of a Capture, Cut, and Transfer (CCT) device may receive a longitudinally continuous material. Then, the CCT device may cause the longitudinally continuous material to be captured by a first spool adjacent to the CCT device, cause the longitudinally continuous material to be taken up onto the first spool, and to provide a first cut to the longitudinally continuous material. Next, the CCT device may transfer the longitudinally continuous material from the first take-up section of the CCT device to a second take-up section of the CCT device. Then the CCT device may cause the longitudinally continuous material to be captured by a second spool adjacent to the CCT device, cause the longitudinally continuous material be taken up onto the second spool, and to provide a second cut to the longitudinally continuous material.
