The Kinesys - Vari-speed System for high capacity lifting solutions is billed as "a dynamic, fully programmable vari-speed hoist and winch control system, complimented with 32 double brake CM Lodestar Hoists capable of running at speeds of up to 21m/min." The system provides accurate, ultra controllable movement combined with high capacity lifting, and was recently in use with the ENO at the Coliseum, suspending cantilevered PA frames for the production of On the Town.
Further features include Kinesys' Vector control software for the creation and editing of multiple cues, group and single running facilities, a manual mode and programmable ramping for starts and stops.
Kinesys Elevation 1+ controller allows variable speed running and full positional control of one elevation per hoist or winch The controller is housed in a hard wearing aluminium case with multiple fixing points and industry-standard connections throughout.
