Description:
Winch 10 is a mini winch for stage use, mainly in connection with theatres, shows and concerts.
It lifts props and small set pieces in and out of the stage sphere at maximum load of 10 kg up and
down. The standard lifting height is 10 m but it can be extended to 15 m without further risks.
The lifting speed is between 5 cm/sec. and 30 cm/sec.
The winches are easily connected as a chain, allowing for advanced and creative ways of making
dynamic movements.
The winch is controlled by the DMX channels from the lighting desk. It
has a built-in positioning
system which is utilized in locating the desired position. The positioning system is controlled from
a 16 bit DMX channel and is highly accurate; the winch stops within 1 mm. The speed of the winch
is likewise controlled from the lighting desk, and it is possible to set the upper and lower limits of
the movement of the winch, adjusting its span of motion.
7 DMX channels controls the wanted position and the speed of the movement, and the winch finds
the position applied on the lighting desk. The movements are programmed as lighting and in
interaction with the light.
The steering system ensures that the motor only is powered when:
The steering signal is reliable.
The position and speed control is on.
The motor position is calculated after witch a PID regulator calculates the motor speed and
distance.
No overload.
Winch 10 should only be operated by an experienced DMX-controlled-
lighting-desk-operator.
The lighting desk has to be programmed according to the manual, so the winch will stop when the
speed is put to 0 %. It is also possible for the user to stop the winch on the
main.
After power failure the start position of the winch should be reset.
Manually running of the winch is only intended for mounting, service and tests.
