Abstract
A spider can include a sensor that outputs measurements indicative of a distance between a location on the spider and a floor of a well rig, and a control system that controls actuation of slips of the spider between open and closed positions in response to the measurements. A method can include measuring a distance between a location on a spider and a floor of a well rig, and controlling actuation of slips of the spider between open and closed positions in response to the measuring. A system can include a spider with at least one slip that grips a tubular positioned in the spider, and a sensor that senses a rise of a location on the spider relative to a floor of a well rig.
