Description
Winch 10 is a mini winch for stage use, mainly for use in 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.
Contact Wahlberg Motion Design for extending your lifting height. The lifting speed is between 5
cm/s and 30 cm/s.
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 15
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. Seven
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 needs to be reset before the winch can function again.
Manually operation of the winch is only intended for mounting, service, and tests.
