LITEC Showcases New products at Prolight + SoundLitec will exhibit at ProLight + Sound in Frankfurt, Germany, April 10-13, in hall 11.0, stand B43. Litec will introduce many new products. Six new end-plate trusses: QX30SA, QX40SA, QH30SA, QH40SA, QH30SL, and QH40SL will be available. These substitute old versions of trusses, keeping their size, weight, and cost characteristics, though achieving even better resistance and performances. The QX30SA is a square section aluminum truss, twist-resistant version, with 29cm long sides. It substitutes the model QX30S, from which it keeps the size, weight, cost, and performance characteristics. It is made of 6082 alloy extruded components, with high load-bearing and twisting strength. The QX40SA is a square section aluminum truss, twist-resistant version, with 40cm long sides. It replaces the old truss QX40S. According to the company itt achieves better resistance thanks to the introduction of diagonals on all the faces. The QH30SA is a square section heavy duty aluminum, truss twist-resistant version, with 29cm long sides. It substitutes the old heavy duty series QD30S and QD30SA. It is characterized by the introduction of Ø 48x3 mm chords and Ø 20x2 mm diagonals on all the faces. The QH40SA is a square section heavy duty aluminum truss, twist-resistant version, with 40cm long sides. It substitutes the old heavy duty series QD40S and QD40SA. It is characterized by the introduction of Ø 48x3 mm chords and Ø 20x2 mm diagonals on all the faces. The QH30SL is a square section aluminum truss, twist-resistant version, with 29cm long sides. It is characterized by the introduction of 48mm chords and of a ladder on one face, though keeping the twist-resistant structure. It substitutes the old heavy duty series QD30S and QD30SA. The QH40SL is a square section aluminum truss, twist-resistant version, with 40cm long sides. It is characterized by the introduction of 48mm chords and of a ladder on one face, though keeping the twist-resistant structure. It substitutes the old heavy duty series QD40S and QD40SA. Litec will introduce new trussing and lighting clamps at Prolight + Sound. They are divided in five series: ALI4251, ALI4851, ALI6063, LIC3851 and LIC4851. The company says they stand out for their design and innovative performances. To identify each, the company has used a micro-percussion technology which reports the family series number and the indication of the safe working load. All are made from ultra-high tensile aluminum alloy and their surface is highly polished. On request they can also be supplied with black powder coating finishing, the company says. Litec will also introduce new EXE RISE chain hoists which are made with 100% Italian electric chain hoists. They comply with BGV German standards, as written in the VPLT directive SQP2. These chain hoists are purpose-designed for theatre and entertainment sector applications. Light and compact, they distinguish themselves for their silence while working and their reliability. After a 20-year experience in chain hoists at an international level, now Litec is in production of the Litec hoists. Light and compact, the company says the EXE Rise chain hoists distinguish themselves for the ratio of performances to costs. EXE RISE is 100% compliant with BGV German standards, as written in the VPLT directive SQP2. The two braking systems (which are really independent as they are powered by two additional independent cables) are placed respectively on the motor shaft and on the transmission shaft. This gives the chance to place the clutch system outside the load path. The AC brakes give a unique precision and a real instant response to electrical impulses, making the EXE RISE hoist safe, according to the company. The five-pocket load wheel, helical gears with permanent grease lubrication, and the round chain guide, make the EXE RISE series one of the most silent on the market. EXE RISE is available in the BGV D8 320 kg, 620 kg, 1120 kg and 2000 kg versions; and in the BGV D8+ 320 kg, 560 kg, and 1000 kg models. All Litec Drivers have met all peculiar and specific needs of the entertainment sector. They are comfortable, quick, and easy to use and, according to the company, safe. The range features hanging one and two-channel direct control keypads, and four and eight-channel controllers in two and four- rack-unit chassis. They are furnished with a mobile plug with mechanical phase inverter to manage any three-phase direct/inverse sequence supply. They are compatible with Litec and EXE Rise chain hoists, and most chain hoists present on the market from 0.19kW to 1.6kW. They conform to: Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC, and in accordance with the following harmonized standards: EN 12100-1:2004, EN 12100-2:2004, EN60204-1:2007, EN60204-32:2009, EN349:1994. Each non-manual control unit has a MCB and RCD breaker before the power circuit that provides protection against overload and short circuit. In addition to this feature, the DL8-4 series controllers have a release coil operated directly by the emergency stop mushroom button, which allows the general power switch to act immediately. In the case of DL models, the real coil function is also extended to the emergency buttons of all control units linked as slaves. The models DL are provided with individual magneto-thermic protections for each channel. Overload protection and motor overload switches have three basic characteristics: 1) Their intervention limit can be individually set by turning the graduated nut on the front, allowing the motor hoist to be checked and protected from excessive wear by preventing the malfunction that can be caused by breakages or overloads. 2) Overload protectors must all be inserted for the GO function of the control units to work -- if even a single protector is not inserted, the equipment cannot work. If a motor protector is triggered during operation of the control unit, the equipment stops. 3) When a system of "n" DL-model controls is in operation, any intervention of the overload protector will simultaneously interrupt the work of all chain hoists linked together, ensuring the safety of the whole system. At Prolight + Sound Litec will presents the new digital catalog. This work features all the trussing and rigging series with many new and updated contents such as new products, special projects, updated technical information, and photo galleries. ![](/std_images/blank.gif)
