摘要
Apparatus and methods for providing gravity compensation to a cable-suspended, vacuum-adhered, tool-equipped crawler vehicle traveling along and following the contour of a non-level surface during the execution of an automated maintenance operation. One technical feature shared by multiple embodiments of the gravity-compensating systems is that a cable spool is operated to wind a portion of the cable from which the vacuum-adhered crawler vehicle is suspended to generate a tensile force that counteracts a gravitational force being exerted on the crawler vehicle during movement. Rotation of the cable spool may be driven by a motor or by a tensioning spring.
