Cutting-Edge Kinseys Workshop At HSL

A ground-breaking and innovative technology company specialising in the design, build and installation of motion control systems for the entertainment industry, are to tutor a comprehensive Technical Training Workshop covering their cutting-edge automation system. The workshop, hosted by Kinseys, will be staged on March 1st & 2nd 2010 in Blackburn, at the premises of leading UK lighting rental company, HSL.
The Training is open to all interested parties and has been designed to work as a 1 or a 2 day course to suit all levels of interest.
Day one will be a general technical training day, incorporating an overview of the basic Kinesys system and how it works including the conversion of hoists to vari-speed; the use of the Kinesys Elevation 1+ and Elevation 24 hoist controllers and Kinesys' range of power distribution units; connecting everything together, fault finding and running from rigger remote control handsets.
Day two will be dedicated to the philosophies and working of the Kinesys Vector control software, complete with practical sessions allowing attendees to get hands-on with the controllers in HSL's large demo area.
HSL's Mike Oates commented: "We decided to run the workshops as we believe there's a real demand for the knowledge and to encourage those interested to acquire the skills needed to be good Kinesys operators, which in turn will potentially help generate more work for them! So the exercise should work for everyone".
Kinesys will tutor the workshops, with attendees working on four systems that will be set up at HSL.
HSL has over 50 Kinesys motors plus both Vector and K2 control, with the systems constantly out working on a variety of shows and events. In the last year, these have included Snow Patrol, Keane, Massive Attack, Pop Factor, the Capital FM Summer Ball, Radio 1Xtra, Sky Sports boxing and many more.
