Examples of successful stage technology applications

e-chains and cables for moving seated podiums in Budapest's multi-purpose hall

The Hungexpo multi-purpose hall in Budapest is a huge auditorium with rows of seats on 43 platforms that can move flexibly. For the complex guidance of the many cables, those responsible brought the igus project team on board and use our E4 and E2 e-chains and chainflex control, data, and bus cables.

Various energy chain systems ensure safe cable guidance in Waagner-Biro stage technology

In theatres and operas and on cruise ships, the stage technology specialist Waagner-Biro Stage Systems has been developing innovative technical systems for the big show for over 150 years. To safely move high loads such as acoustic and lighting systems, stage sets, or entire stage podiums, the design engineers use our smooth-running energy chains – the E4 series, e-spool, and zig-zag system.

Smooth-running energy chains for Tagesschau studio camera robots

Three camera robots are suspended under the ceiling of the Tagesschau studio to achieve smooth, highly precise camera movements. Smooth running, low vibration, and wear resistance are the main requirements for the energy chains for guiding the extensive cable packages. E6 chains and chainflex control cables are used.
