Theatre technology

The totality of technical equipment and fixtures of a theater, a stage, a multi-purpose sports- or an event location are collectively referred to as the theater or stage technology (DIN 56920-1, -2, -3) The theater technology is nearly invisible, operates silently and efficiently in the background, sets the stage in movement, floods it with light and thus ultimately brings it to life.

In addition to the required high reliability and the simple operation of the technical equipment, the installation and machinery must also meet the provisions of the specific security requirements (BGV C1, BGG / GUV-G 912).

A stage technology project is always a job with a variety of interfaces. The whole concept of integration of technology in the building demands creativity and innovation.

Besides the technical competence, our company has experience in managing complex projects and planning in Germany and abroad. We are communicative, multi-lingual and experienced in dealing with multi-cultural teams.

Upper Machinery

The upper machinery, mounted above the stage area, is used for incorporating or moving of backdrops, lighting and decorative elements.

As required, different concepts can be utilized. These may include static as well as highly dynamic systems and can be automatic or manually operated systems.

Our company has extensive experience in the implementation of complex steel and mechanical structures, difficult installation conditions, component optimization and weight reduction to relieveload on the building structure and production in accordance with DIN 18 800.

We would please to be your partner for:

• Strucural steel, ropes- and roller housing, as well as backstage
• Lighting and portal bridges, stage portals
• Machine and point hoists
• Shaft hoists
• Curtain drawing installations

Lower Machinery

The room below the stage usually offers considerable space for the lower machinery. Besides being able to make changes in the stage in all three dimensions, complete sets and superstructures can be exchanged in a short period of time.

With that, the lower machinery is one of the more complex installations in theatres, but it also offers a high degree of scenic transformation possibilities.

Our company possesspecial expertise in the field of lower machine design and construction of self-supporting, moblie stages and platforms. This includes - thanks to FEM, 3D design and component optimization as well as production in accordance with DIN 18 800.

We would please to be your partner for:

• Theatre-, orchestra- and indoor platforms

• Mobile boxes, stage wagons

• Stage traps

• Revolving stages and revolving stage drive systems

Theatre Control Units

The control engineering is one of the most innovative technical fields. Increasingly powerful hardware enables realization of more complex applications, easier and comfortable operation through visualization and an increased level of security.

This of course also applies to the world of the theater technology. In combination with advanced engineering approaches modern controls allow a high degree of flexibility for demanding productions.

We would be pleased to be your partner for:

• Simple control systems & operating systems

• PLC - controls, SIEMENS S7

• Models up to SIL3

• Process - visualization
