Now the substation has been converted into an events location and provides the setting for a wide variety of event productions with up to 1,600 guests. From meetings, conferences, parties and fashion shows to receptions and car presentations, any number of different types of event can be staged in the new location.
The venue was fitted with media equipment by Movecat partner Ambion, the installation featuring inter alia a total of 16 Movecat Plus-C 250-4 D8 Plus chain hoists with incremental encoders and the new LME load measuring eyelets in dual chainfall operation with safe working loads of 500 kg per drive.
The use of the fully integrated load measurement eyelets permits precise evaluation of load conditions even in the case of statically indeterminate systems and does so without the loss of installation height that is often the bugbear of external solutions.
In conjunction with MPC 4ID8-I digital motor controllers, the igvw SQ P2 standard in terms of safety is fully complied with, and in terms of performance surpassed, even, by a considerable margin through programmed target runs and supervision of the run direction and speed. Swift changeovers and 100% reproducibility are therefore possible even under frequently changing spatial and technical constraints.
"As a long-time partner of Movecat, we believe not only in the safety and quality of the system but also in the standard of service," comments Oliver Jonekeit of Ambion.
