Mobile processing frame, mobile processing system, and method of processing

1. A mobile processing system, comprising:

a frame including:

a base portion;

a turntable rotatably coupled to the base portion;

a motor positioned in and secured to the base portion and operably connected to the turntable;

a mobile support secured to the base portion, opposite the turntable;

a locking member attached to the base portion, the locking member movable from a retracted position, in which movement of the mobile support is permitted, to an extended position, in which movement of the mobile support is restricted;

a pneumatic device extending between the base portion and the locking member, the pneumatic device configured to move the locking member to the extended position;

a retracting device extending between the base portion and the locking member, the retracting device configured to move the locking member to the retracted position; and

a docking station having a control device in communication with the base portion, the control device configured to monitor processing material positioned on the turntable and to control the motor in the base portion to control the rotation of the turntable; and

a transport device configured to move the frame;

wherein with the frame positioned in the docking station, the pneumatic device is coupled to move the locking member to the extended position.

2. The mobile processing system of claim 1 , wherein the control device is detachably secured to the base portion.

3. The mobile processing system of claim 2 , wherein the frame is movable independent of the control device.

4. The mobile processing system of claim 2 , wherein the control device is selected from the group consisting of a dancer arm, a stock straightener, and a combination thereof.

5. The mobile processing system of claim 1 , further comprising a processing material positioned on the turntable.

6. The mobile processing system of claim 5 , wherein the motor rotates the turntable, feeding the processing material to a processing device.

7. The mobile processing system of claim 6 , wherein the control device is configured to control a feed rate of the processing material.

8. The mobile processing system of claim 1 , wherein the frame is detachably coupled to the transport device.

9. The mobile processing system of claim 1 , further comprising at least one additional frame.

10. The mobile processing system of claim 9 , wherein the frame, each of the at least one additional frames, and the transport device are configured to detachably couple to each other.

11. A method of processing, comprising:

positioning a processing material on a turntable of a frame;

moving the frame to a processing area which includes a docking station, the frame including a locking member with a pneumatic device;

coupling a control device of the docking station to the frame, the control device being in wired or wireless communication with the frame;

activating the pneumatic device and moving the locking member to an extended position in which movement of the frame is restricted; and

feeding the processing material from the frame to a processing device;

wherein the control device monitors the processing material positioned on the turntable and controls a rotation of the turntable and a feed rate of the processing material.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising coupling the frame to a transport device, and operating the transport device to move the frame to the processing area.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising providing at least one additional frame, and positioning additional processing material on the at least one additional frame.
