WINCH 10

WINCH 10 is a compact, high-precision 10 kg dual-cable kinetic hoist designed for live entertainment, permanent installations, and public art applications. Featuring 5 m (16.4 ft) of lift travel with integrated pass-through power and data, it provides a clean, efficient solution for suspending and animating scenic, lighting, and media elements. An optional 8-universe Pixel Node delivers onboard LED control and 24 V power for connected fixtures and illuminated objects, reducing system complexity while expanding creative possibilities. Engineered to support medium-sized lighting fixtures, dynamic scenic props, backdrops, and other suspended elements, the WINCH 10 combines motion, power, and lighting control in a single integrated platform.

Designed for exceptionally smooth and accurate motion, the WINCH 10 offers responsive positioning across a wide range of movement speeds—from slow, dramatic transitions to fast, dynamic effects. When multiple units are synchronized through a DMX lighting console, designers can create sophisticated kinetic choreography, immersive visual environments, and precisely coordinated motion sequences that transform performances and architectural spaces.

WINCH 10 connects directly to lighting consoles using network DMX protocols, including Art-Net and sACN, allowing seamless integration into live production workflows. An optional integrated 8-universe Pixel Node drives up to 4,096 pixels (1,024 RGBW), providing powerful control for connected LED fixtures and illuminated scenic elements. Smooth, precision motion—from slow, cinematic movement to rapid positioning—combined with synchronized control of multiple winches unlocks virtually limitless kinetic lighting and visual effects.

Engineered for reliability and safety, WINCH 10 incorporates comprehensive protection features for both standalone operation and large-scale multi-winch systems. LumiOS Array™ software streamlines system configuration, commissioning, and real-time monitoring, making it easy to deploy, manage, and maintain complex kinetic installations with confidence.

    • Cable Slack Protection:  Auto stop when underload is detected
    • Cable Spooling Protection:  Auto stop when mis-spooling is detected
