Cable abnormality detection system and method

A method of cable abnormality detection, the method comprising:

• obtaining upper limit tolerance requirements for a diameter of a cable;
• detecting a presence of the cable in a laser sensor measurement system;
• measuring a cable diameter of the cable using the laser sensor measurement system while the cable is being guided through the laser sensor measurement system;
• determining, using one or more processors, when the measured cable diameter is outside of the upper limit tolerance requirements of the cable diameter;
• and
• sending, using one or more processors, a signal to stop the cable from advancing.

A system for cable abnormality detection, the system comprising:

• a laser sensor measurement system for measuring a cable diameter of a cable;
• a guide assembly for guiding entry of the cable through the laser sensor measurement system;
• a memory that stores computer-executable instructions;
• and
• a processor that executes the computer-executable instructions and causes the processor to:
• measure the cable diameter with respect to upper limits of the cable diameter;
• determine that the cable diameter is outside of the upper limits using the cable diameter measurements and cable parameter tolerances;
• and
• initiate a signal to commence a remedial action, in response to determining that the cable diameter is outside of the upper limits.
