System and method for storage and temporary installation of secondary flooring surface

A system for installing or removing a secondary flooring surface, comprising:

• a core for storing the secondary flooring surface when not in use, wherein the core is driven by at least one core motor and the at least one core motor is controlled by a core motor drive unit;
• two frames, wherein one of the frames is positioned at a first end of the core and the second one of the frames is positioned at a second end of the core;
• wherein each of the two frames is driven along a length of a primary surface by at least one frame motor and the at least one frame motor is controlled by a frame drive unit;
• wherein the core drive unit controls a torque of the at least one core motor while the secondary flooring surface is rolling onto the core and the core motor drive unit controls a speed of the at least one core motor while the secondary flooring surface is rolling off the core;
• and wherein the frame drive unit controls a speed of the at least one frame motor.

A method for rolling up a secondary flooring surface, comprising:

• controlling a core motor to operate at a predefined torque, wherein the core motor controls rotation of a core as the secondary flooring surface rolls onto the core;
• coupling the core to a frame;
• driving the frame along a length of a primary surface by controlling a frame motor to operate at a predefined speed, wherein the frame motor controls the speed of the frame along the primary surface;
• and wherein the predefined speed is based on a length of the secondary flooring surface and a time allocated to roll up the secondary flooring surface and wherein the predefined speed is capable of adjustment based on a registration process.

A method for rolling out a secondary flooring surface, comprising:

• controlling a speed of a core motor, wherein the core motor controls rotation of a core as the secondary flooring surface rolls off the core;
• coupling the core to a frame;
• driving the frame along a length of a primary surface by controlling a frame motor to operate at a predefined speed, wherein the frame motor controls the speed of the frame along the primary surface, and wherein the predefined speed is based on a length of the secondary flooring surface and a time allocated to roll out the secondary flooring surface;
• determining an amount of the secondary flooring surface on the core;
• and using the amount of the secondary flooring surface on the core to adjust the speed of the core motor.
