Abstract
The disclosed technology includes an air moving system for a stringing apparatus. The air moving system can comprise an energy bank, an electric air moving device in electrical communication with the energy bank and configured to output a supply of air to cause a cable to move along a duct and at least one controller. The at least one controller can be configured to determine a speed of the cable moving along the duct and control the output of the supply of air of the electric air moving device to control the speed of the cable based at least in part on the determined speed of the cable.

An air moving system for a stringing apparatus, the air moving system comprising:
- an energy bank;
- an electric air moving device in electrical communication with the energy bank and configured to output a supply of air to cause a cable to move along a duct;
- and
- at least one controller configured to:
- determine a speed of the cable moving along the duct;
- and
- control the output of the supply of air of the electric air moving device to control the speed of the cable based at least in part on the determined speed of the cable.
A stringing apparatus comprising:
- an energy bank;
- a driveline in electrical communication with the energy bank and configured to receive or to deliver a cable;
- an electric air moving device in electrical communication with the energy bank and configured to output a supply of air;
- and
- at least one controller configured to:
- determine a speed of a cable being delivered from the driveline;
- and
- control the output of the supply of air of the electric air moving device to control the speed of the cable based at least in part on the determined speed of the cable.
