For a final project in my rigging class we are designing and installing a motrorized lighting position in our theatre. Currently our apron lighting position is dead hung over the stage and only accessable via genie or ladder. Our TD/teacher has offered us the opportunity to motorize it as the final project to our rigging, hydralics and pnumatics class. Obviously anything we do will be okayed by him before we implement it.
Currently we are in the design stages of our system. We are planning on using two chain hoists to raise and lower the truss. What we haven't been able to find out online is how we can easiliest and cheapest control two motors at once, because they need to be in sync as each is carrying one end of the truss. We have an old electric motor controller and panel left over from a motorized lighting bridge which existed before my time. It has an emergency stop, up/down and lockout key. Is there anyway to wire the control cables for the motors into this? Any input would help so we can have a complete and thought out system to present.
