Musikteater Vejle invests in Kinesys

The Musikteater in Vejle, Denmark is a theatre with a 1200 capacity flexible main auditorium that can be fully seated in a traditional set up or have a standing configuration. The venue also hosts corporate and private events, and the technical team co-ordinate production for a month long outdoor summer entertainment season in the park. They additionally provide technical production for the nearby Spectrum Conference & Sports Centre, which is also run by the city.

 

Musikteater’s investment in Kinesys products started around six years ago, explains technical manager Tor Futtrup, who has been working there for 13 years and initiated this move with a first purchase of ten 3.25 tonne Kinesys LibraCell load measuring shackles and the Kinesys LibraBasic system.

 

The Libra shackle pin is designed to work with the Crosby safety bow shackle and the LibraBasic power supply is a method of monitoring LibraCells. This was helpful for checking the weight loading during concerts, explains Futtrup, as their roof point loadings in the main hall are around 700 Kg.

 

The Kinesys products were supplied by Herning based sales specialist Light Partner, Kinesys’ Danish reseller. For the summer outdoor work, it was important to keep a check on the truss loading under the roof system, so they started using the system for this as well.

 

The next Kinesys purchase included an 8-channel DigiHoist controller, K2 motion control software and LibraWifi, which allows the DigiHoist device to broadcast load cell information via a wireless network. An inbuilt firewall ensures that only Kinesys data is transmitted on the Libra network.

 

At the same time the Musikteater was converting its main stage fly bar system from manual to automated flying, so more LibraCells were also purchased, giving them a comprehensive Kinesys load monitoring system.
