Original Showstak series

Fly Rail

Fly Rail

Experience our fresh technological thought and discover unique automation possibilities to stun your audience. Introducing modular design ready for integration with media servers and variable speed chain hoist control system.

Create and control dynamic movement of LED screens, scenography objects and people.

The use of media server to track the position of master trolleys allows for fluent adaptation of specific content to different speeds and positions of moving screens, including tracking the speaker with the selected screen with the presentation.

For powerful and complex 3D visual effect, linear motion of the Showstak Fly Rail can be supplemented with rotary motion adding a dedicated, compact Showstak Rotator and up-down movement by adding one of the compatible chain hoist control systems.

Special modular construction of the rail, exceptional load capacity of components at high dynamic loads and the applied certified automation system ensure safe, precise and repeatable motion control offering unlimited arrangement possibilities and flexible creativity when designing the next premium event.

The APEX System from KINESYS

apexHOIST 500

  • maximum speeds of 500mm/s (100ft/min) and 200mm/s (40ft/min)
  • the highest safety standards suitable for movement over people and in show situations
  • completely silent brakes across the range along with the ability to hover
  • ultra-smooth movement

apexDRIVE

Apex represents the state of the art in variable speed chain hoist control. Both the controller and hoists are built to Kinesys’ exacting specification which allows for numerous features to be available to the operator.

SIL3 monitoring of speed, ramps, load, position and brakes means that any application can be supported by Apex and when working with the Mentor 4 controllers groups of hoists can be assigned and protected at a SIL3 level as well.

The Apex system from Kinesys is the complete solution to high-end chain hoist control applications. It includes all the features you would expect like compliance with EN61508-SIL3 and DIN56950, sub millimetre precision and true zero speed hover. It also contains some you might not expect like silent brakes, intelligent duty cycle management and real-time data logging.
