A revolution in computer-controlled hoists
The revolution in motion control continues. STAGEMAKER CYBERHOIST intelligent hoist motor” system with the dedicated InMotion 3D design and control software create a powerful new tool for achieving complex and dynamic set element movements quickly, safely and in near silence. 10 System options include (dual) Full Production System,(single) Production System and NoteBook Production System, a handheld controller for fast load-in and loadout and an expanded range of three STAGEMAKER CYBERHOIST motors, providing a wide choice of loading and speed ranges.

STAGEMAKER CYBERHOIST was awarded the innovation prizeat the Plaza tradeshow in London and at the LDI at Orlando.

Designed in cooperation with lighting and set-designers and production managers, this revolutionary system has all the features the entertainment and corporate pre- sentations markets have asked for and more. Abilities include fast programming, accurate positioning and repeatability, true timed speed control, no truss twisting at start up and much more.

Analogous to an automated lighting system and unlike any other motion control system on the market this system’s intelligence” is shared between the host control computer and the dedicated STAGEMAKER CYBERHOIST motors. Each motor’s integral processor (communicating via DataMotion technology over Ethernet) interacts with the host computer to feed back real-time position, speed, temperature, load and status data for total control and complete safety.

The advantages of controlled interaction between lighting and rigging equipment, and the tremendous time-saving during a show build because of the system’s simplicity to install, are clear. Above all, accurate and smooth variable speed control from 0.1 mm/sec (0.004”/sec) up to 40 metres/min* (2 ft per sec), in steps of 0.

1 mm/sec, permits programming with a precision of0.1 mm over the whole chain length.
