Sydney Opera House upper stage machinery

Energy chains in stage technology

From the Berlin State Opera to the Sydney Opera House

To move acoustic and lighting systems, stage sets, and entire stage platforms, Waagner-Biro stage technology uses our cables and cable guidance systems. For moving high loads, strong systems are needed that are visually inconspicuous and quiet and use little installation space.

Multimedia installation in event hall

Cable guidance systems in the prestigious GES-2 auditorium

Safely install and move state-of-the-art equipment in a modern event hall. The stage technology specialist, Alfa System Sas, was entrusted with this task. To ensure that the complex and specific cabling can be safely moved over long travels up to the hall ceiling, it is moved in a plastic energy chain that is wound and unwound on an e-spool HD.

Lighting systems

Flexible design of the mobile grandstand

HD e-spool systems and chainflex control cables are deployed in the lighting systems at the Cultural and Congress Centre in Toruń. They make it possible to guarantee the required flexibility for every given space.

Crossbeams

Quiet and cost-effective

The e-spool is used in trusses. The system is extremely compact and is able to guide a large number of different power, data, audio or pneumatic cables in very confined spaces. Protection from external influences, wear and tensile strain significantly increases the service life of the cables.

e-spool in the fly loft

Trouble-free operation in lighting equipment

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