PL+S 2018: Kinesys puts focus on Apex system
- Details
The latest Kinesys Apex chain hoist system will be a big focus, and it will also be running an eye-catching motion controlled ‘art-tech’ centrepiece on the stand. Other popular Kinesys products like Elevation 1+, LibraCELL, DigiHoist and the Dimension Pendant controller will be highlighted.
Apex incorporates the best of Kinesys’ extensive knowledge and practical experience of working with variable speed chain hoist technology to create a range of safe, reliable and rock-solid hoists and controllers which are designed to maximise creativity for show, stage and environment designers and operators in all fields of entertainment.
Central to the Apex system is a versatile hoist controller and two chain hoists, all specified and built to Kinesys’ exact specifications.
Apex was launched in 2017 and many key companies have already made the investment. Recently a system was used to great effect on the Melodifestivalen in Sweden, a six-week tour which selected their 2018 Eurovision entry.
The Apex range includes both 500kg and 1250kg hoists with maximum speeds of 30m/min and 12m/min respectively. All the hoists have integral loadcells, silent dual monitored brakes, absolute and incremental encoders and meet the requirements of prEN17206, EN61508-SIL3 and DIN56950.
The entire range of Apex products will be available to view on the stand and in operation on the booth which features an eye-catching stand layout to demonstrate the precision and control of this innovative hoist system.
In addition to Apex, other Kinesys innovations on display will include the brand’s Elevation 1+ variable speed chain hoist control system. This has become one of the most popular choices for international shows and events wanting to safely, smoothly and reliably move objects of any type at varying speeds.
Visitors can also look at the Kinesys DigiHoist fixed speed chain motor controllers and the LibraCELL load monitoring system, an invaluable tool for any rigging scenario to ensure that loads – static and dynamic – are constantly and accurately monitored in real-time.
