Hoist UK Introduces Raynok Motion Control
Entertainment lifting specialists Hoist UK Ltd have recently signed an exclusive European distribution agreement for the Raynok Motion Control System, manufactured by Niscon Inc based in Canada.
The Raynok Motion Control System is a state-of-the-art control solution specifically engineered for the entertainment industry and boasts the ability to control all your stage machinery from one PC-based control interface. The system uses a complete range of Raynok control modules to link to your existing or new stage machinery and provides safe and secure communications with the Raynok control software.
Joseph Jeremy, president of Niscon Inc comments: "We initially became aware of Hoist UK at PLASA08. It was my first time attending and I was impressed with the presentation and professionalism that was displayed on their stand. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to meet with Tony or Paul at the show, which added to my surprise when Tony contacted us shortly after my return to Toronto. He and Paul were planning to attend LDI in Las Vegas and asked if Peter and I would make some time to meet with them. We welcomed them to our booth and after a short meeting it was clear that the offerings of our respective firms would be a great match. To that end, Niscon Inc. is extremely pleased to have the Raynok Motion Control System exclusively distributed throughout Europe by Hoist UK. The combination of Niscon Inc.'s commitment to The Art of Movement and Hoist UK's Safety Above All will provide our customers with exceptional equipment and outstanding service."
Tony Dickson, director of Hoist UK added: "We are very excited and privileged to distribute this unique product throughout Europe. The Raynok motion control system can be configured to control an unlimited number of items from a variety of manufacturers equipment, such as chain hoists, travel drives, trolleys, winches, turntables and pilewind (yo yo) drums. The ability to do this in a safe manner with all different elements being controlled simultaneously (if required) by one person is a different proposition to the other motion control systems out there, as it is the only motion control system you will ever need due to its ability to control all your equipment and the system can grow with your equipment requirements."
Paul Jordan, fellow director of Hoist UK comments: "One of the greatest strengths of Raynok is the ability to simplify the collaborative efforts of the creative and technical teams to create fluid scenic imagery. Whether the staging of simple production calls or complex cueing, the WindowsTM operating system, common mouse, keyboard and menu commands make executing tasks within Raynok simple and intuitive. Hoist UK will be present at the ABTT and PLASA shows introducing the full capabilities of the system, using it to control whole a host of different equipment and allowing visitors to get hands on with this unique control solution."
Tony Dickson also comments: "Drop down menus, right mouse button menus, toolbars and a customisable multi-monitor graphic display aid the operator in configuring a comfortable desktop workspace and make multi axis positional control of all manner of stage machinery easy and simple to programme and control. It is clear to us that there is nothing on the market like this system, which is why we have tied up an exclusive deal for distribution"
Peter Sinkner, fellow President of Niscon Inc comments: "Raynok is so easy to program and achieve the results the creative team want that you'll be in the bar long before your mates on the LX crew".
