The Kinesys Bundle: A Complete Motion Control Solution

Unlock the power of precision automation with the Kinesys Bundle, a seamlessly integrated package designed for unparalleled safety, reliability, and creative control. This tour-ready system combines the intelligent Kinesys Elevation 1+ drive with a robust, Kinesys-converted CM Lodestar chain hoist, removing the guesswork and providing a plug-and-play solution for any production.

1. (1) Kinesys Elevation 1+ Drive (2.2kW, Low Voltage)

This is the intelligent heart of the system. The Elevation 1+ is a sophisticated variable speed drive that provides the precise control needed for complex automation cues.

• Powerful Performance: The 2.2kW motor provides ample power to handle dynamic movements and demanding loads with ease.
• Variable Speed Control: Go beyond simple up/down movement. Achieve smooth ramps, slow crawls, and high-speed transitions with pinpoint accuracy.
• Enhanced Safety: The low-voltage control system ensures operator safety and simplifies cabling. It integrates directly with Kinesys safety hardware for a SIL3-compliant system.
• Positional Accuracy: When paired with the converted hoist, the drive reads encoder data to know the hoist's exact position at all times, allowing for perfect, repeatable cues every show.

2. (1) Kinesys Converted CM Lodestar Chain Hoist (500kg)

This is the robust muscle of the bundle. We start with the industry-standard CM Lodestar—renowned for its durability and reliability—and expertly convert it for automation.

• Industry-Standard Base: Built upon the trusted and globally recognized CM Lodestar hoist, ensuring mechanical reliability.
• 500kg Safe Working Load (SWL): A versatile capacity ideal for lifting a wide range of elements, from lighting trusses and video screens to scenic pieces.
• Kinesys Conversion: The hoist is meticulously modified to include:
  • Dual Encoders: For redundant, high-resolution positional feedback, telling the Elevation 1+ drive its exact location.
  • Safety Limit Switches: Integrated upper and lower limit switches prevent over-travel, adding a critical layer of safety.
  • Specialized Connectors: Outfitted with the necessary connections to plug directly into the Elevation 1+ drive for power and data.

3. (1) LibraCELL Loadcell Shackle 3.25 T - Cable Version

The Kinesys Libra Cell is a specialized load measuring shackle designed for accurate, real-time load monitoring. Key features include:

• Built-in LED display showing live load measurements
• Compatible with Crosby safety bow shackles
• Available in 3.25TE (5/8) and 4.75TE (3/4) capacities with 5:1 safety factor
• No loss of headroom as the load cell is integrated into the shackle
• User-friendly menu system for setting tare values and switching between kg/lbs
• Designed for indoor use (not waterproof)

This innovative design replaces the standard "red pin" in Crosby shackles while maintaining safety standards. The Libra Cell is part of the broader Kinesys Libra system for comprehensive load information management and is available for purchase or rental through TAIT's global partner network.

Together, these two components create a powerful, intelligent, and safe automation system that allows designers and operators to move elements with the creative freedom and confidence that Kinesys is known for.
