VisionLite invests in Kinesys Apex

VisionLite invested in a new Kinesys Apex hoist system - comprising 21 x Apex motors - plus Kinesys K2 control to help facilitate its 2018 summer work schedule. The new Apex products went straight out on the Resistance summer season in Ibiza.

Thirteen moving pods defined this year’s Ibiza look, 10 filled with LED screen elements and three with moving lights. Those with LED were flown utilising 40 x Apex hoists, while 12 x Kinesys Elevation 1+ motors flew the three lighting pods, allowing them all to move, tilt and pitch in any direction via the K2 control.

Kinesys LibraCell load monitoring was added to the Elevation hoist system to keep a ‘live’ check on the loads (the Apex system comes with inbuilt loadcells as standard). The safety system was controlled by two Kinesys Mentor 4 units which are SIL3 compliant, so all the e-stop buttons went through Mentor.

VisionLite undertook the entire automation technical production for Resistance Ibiza, from the initial risk assessments to specification and supply of the kit, plus assisting with the process as relative to automation. They also supplied operator Andrzej Szostak to run and tech the system for the season.
