De Doelen gets new controls

In the summer of 2020, the controls of Grote Zaal in De Doelen will be converted to the Varicon system developed by DTS² itself. In addition, the existing installation will be equipped with new brakes and sensors and will be maintained. A great example of circularity!

Installations


Upper machinery

• 
1 hoistable ceiling, moved by 2 connected winches, each with a SWL of 6 tons
• 
5 decorative racks placed in the hoisting ceiling

• 1 film canvas rack

• 2 Draw for surtitle

• 2 Control valves in the ceiling

• 2 chain hoists for sound array
Controls: Varicon

Under machinery


• 41 Stage lifters, scissor lifters with push chain system

• 2 Extendable staircases

• Controls: Varicon

Details


There have been problems with managing and synchronizing the stage lifters for a long time. By converting the controls to the Varicon system and making adjustments to sensor technology, these defects will be remedied.

At the same time, the control of the hoisting system is integrated into the overall control system so that the entire installation can be operated from 1 position.
