Stagecraft Encoder Solutions for Automation

The wide variety of automated machinery used in the stagecraft industry presents innumerable application points for rotary encoders. From linear slides, to turn tables, to vertical lifts, and hoists, encoders provide reliable motion feedback.

Examples of Motion Feedback in Stagecraft

• Elevators / vertical lifting
• Turn tables
• Automated arena/theater seating
• Moving platforms

• Use Case: In stagecraft, turntables must rotate smoothly and precisely to create seamless theatrical or production experiences.

• Impact: The gear and wheel system enables accurate large-diameter motion and position tracking, ensuring flawless operation in high-pressure settings.  The encoder can be used as secondary feedback for safety, giving position data right at the point of motion itself.
