Abstract: A system for braking rotational movement of at least one beam is disclosed. The system can comprise a frame and at least one beam rotatably supported on the frame. Each beam of the at least one beam can comprise at least one sheave groove on at least one longitudinal end. A rope can have a first end and a second end. Each of the first end and second end can be fixedly coupled to the frame. The rope can be received within a portion of at least one of the at least one sheave groove of each beam. A tensioning assembly can be configured to selectively cause a predetermined braking tension in the rope.

Abstract: Methods and systems for use of a three dimensional measurement laser are disclosed. An example method can comprise receiving, at a laser measuring device, an article (e.g., a flooring article) having a plurality of faces, the article being conveyed in a direction. At least a portion of a first face and a second face of the plurality of faces of the article can be irradiated with a laser of the laser measuring device to measure one or more profile dimensions associated with the first and second faces of the article. The measured profile dimensions associated with the first face and the profile dimensions associated with the second face are compared to predefined reference dimensions. In response to a difference between measured profile dimensions associated with the first face and the second face and the predefined reference dimensions exceeding a threshold value, the article can be determined to be defective.
