    摘要: An advanced cable preparation system for automatically and accurately preparing electric cables for termination is provided. The system includes multiple subassemblies and modules for removing one or more cable layers in order to prepare the cable end(s) for safe and effective termination. The system can include a housing with a sensor module, a processing module, and a one or more subassemblies including a cutting module, a power module, a neutral handling module, and a communication module. Some embodiments of the system can also include a heating module and a roller module. The advanced cable preparation system and method automatically detects one or more cable parameters of the electric cable using the sensor module and adjusts the configuration of one or more modules to appropriately remove one or more layers of the electric cable to prepare the electric cable for termination.

    摘要: A system and method for additive manufacturing are provided. The system for additive manufacturing can include a fabrication robot configured to perform a fabrication process within a pipe, and a support robot configured to support the fabrication robot. The fabrication process may include the fabrication robot depositing a material on the pipe, thus consuming material throughout the fabrication process. The support robot may traverse between an entrance of the pipe and the fabrication robot to obtain additional material and to refill the fabrication robot and the material is consumed. The support robot may further be configured to install and remove one or more tether management rings along bends within the pipe, such that the tether management rings can reduce drag caused by a tether of the fabrication robot.
