Abstract

A hoist system for cable-reeling operations is disclosed herein. The hoist system includes a housing, a drum disposed within the housing and configured to spin about an axis, a motor configured to spin the drum about the axis, a cable configured to be wound and unwound from the drum as the motor spins the drum about the axis, a cable sensor configured to detect misalignment of the cable during the cable-reeling operations, and a motor controller operatively coupled to the cable sensor and the motor, wherein the motor controller is configured to receive a cable misalignment signal from the cable sensor and adjust operation of the motor in response to the cable misalignment signal.
