Reliable, quiet and invisible solutions for the stage and theater technology

Setting the stage with igus® motion plastics®

Every stage is unique, which means that each and every component not only has to be powerful, durable and efficient but must also fit together perfectly. Theater and stage construction present special technical challenges. These challenges include high loads, such as those found on crossbeams, stage lighting, stage sets or entire stage platforms, which must move safely and reliably. Furthermore, technical equipment must operate quietly and out of sight, so as not to interfere with the performance. igus® offers energy supply systems, highly flexible cables and plastic bearings that meet these exact requirements. As igus® provides modular systems and a wide range of components, it is possible to implement customized applications quickly and easily.

Benefits:

Energy and data cables and hydraulic hoses guided in one system
Quiet - 32 dB(A) - and low vibration
Lightweight
For confined spaces or very high loads
High speeds and acceleration
Robust and easy to install
Simple installation and quick maintenance or repairs

Design study: Low-cost zig-zag e-chain®

Light and cost-effective

Discover all the advantages of an e-chain® with a new guide concept for travel distances of up to 10m. The system was designed for use on various shaft end supports and based on DIN EN 17206 and DGUV Principle 315-390.

More than 50% weight reduction and thus higher payload
Price reduced by up to 50% compared to the standard zig zag basket
Lower drive power thanks to weight reduction

Stage and theater customer applications

Moveable ceiling construction above the stage

Cost-effective and space-saving

Zig-zag e-chains® from igus® are used in this application. This system allows a creative solution for vertically suspended applications, which is not only cost-effective but also space-saving and "inconspicuous".

Moveable stage platforms

Safe and reliable energy supply in confined installation spaces

Stage platforms are used in theatres and concert halls all over the world. Since space under the stage is very limited, the data and power cables must be guided safely and reliably. This can be achieved using igus® zig-zag
e-chains®, which are housed in space-saving narrow metal containers.

e-spool® in the fly loft

Trouble-free operation in lighting equipment

Ten igus® e-spool® systems have been installed on the fly walk of the mobile gallery at the Cultural and Congress Centre in Toruń, Poland. They provide the necessary flexibility for the given space in every case.

Robotic camera in news studio

Quiet energy supplies

Smooth running, low level of vibration and high wear resistance are important criteria for the individual components of studio equipment. Camerobot Systems GmbH from Germany uses igus® series E6 energy chains to guide the robotic systems in the news and television studio.
