Systems and methods for drawing materials

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for controlling at least in part the drawing of a material, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions recorded thereon for:

• determining a position of a second drawing machine with respect to a desired position, wherein the second drawing machine is downstream from a first drawing machine, and wherein the material is successively drawn by the first and second drawing machines;
• and
• adjusting a drawing speed of the first drawing machine from a first speed to a second speed based on the determined position of the second drawing machine.

A system for drawing a material comprising:

• a first drawing machine configured to receive the material;
• and
• a second drawing machine configured to receive the material downstream from the first drawing machine, wherein the second drawing machine comprises a frame that translates relative to a component upon which the frame is supported, and wherein the translation occurs while the first and second drawing machines are successively drawing the material.
