Abstract
An electronic auto-catcher for catching and releasing a plunger in a lubricator attached to a well. The electronic auto-catcher may include an electronic actuator and an auto-catcher. The electronic actuator may include an actuator that causes lateral movement of an actuator shaft, which causes lateral movement of a stem adaptor, which causes lateral movement of a catcher stem, which causes lateral movement of a ball catching device. The ball catching device holds the plunger in the lubricator and/or releases the plunger from the lubricator so that it may fall down the well. Lateral movement of the actuator shaft is not necessarily equal to lateral movement of the plunger catching device.
