<p>Methods and apparatus are disclosed for spooling a flexible member (14) onto a drum (12) with a spooler assembly (20). In certain embodiments, a spooler assembly (20) comprises a spooler arm (22) operable to guide a flexible member (14) onto a drum (12) rotating about a drum axis. A first actuator (23) moves the spooler arm (22) in a first direction that is parallel to the drum axis. The first actuator (23) operates in a first mode wherein the flexible member (14) is allowed to free movement in the first direction and a second mode wherein the first actuator controls the movement of the flexible member (14) in the first direction. The spooler assembly (20) may also comprise a second actuator (26) that moves the spooler arm (22) in a second direction that is perpendicular to the drum axis.</p> |
