London, UK based automation and motion control specialist, Kinesys, has appointed Light Partner as its exclusive Danish distributor in the latest expansion of its global distribution network.

The Herning based company is celebrating its twentieth year in the entertainment technology industry.

Says Kinesys' business development manager Mark de Gruyter, "As always, we select our distributors very carefully. Ideally they should already have a good working relationship with a reputable hoist manufacturer, which Light Partner has with Columbus McKinnon. Apart from being a group of genuinely nice and dedicated individuals the company is very well established and respected and the perfect choice for our partner in Denmark."

Light Partner also represents James Thomas and Litec trussing ranges, as well as other brands including Vari*Lite.

Light Partner's Stig Meyer Jensen comments, "When we decided to take on motion control, it was very clear that Kinesys is the top-of-the-range so this, coupled with the synergy of our CM Lodestar dealership, made it an easy choice for us."

They will offer Kinesys' newest product offering, DigiHoist, as well as LibraCELL load monitoring products and the Evo vari-speed motor control system.

One of the first Kinesys sales for Light Partner was to leading Danish rental company Litecom, who purchased a set of six DigiHoist controllers and 16-channel handheld remotes together with a DigiLink which allows multiple units and handsets to be linked together for larger configuration requirements in their day-to-day use on shows and events.

With production schedules being tight, a motor control system that is fully custom flightcased and ready-to-go, quick to deploy and easy to cable and link together really helps the set up process, the company says.

Litecom invested in the new DigiHoist platform because of Kinesys' "future proof" upgrade options available allowing for loadcell and encoder feedback upgrades to be added at any time, the company stated.

The first gig for Litecom's new DigiHoist controllers was Sport 2011, an annual gala and awards event staged in Boxen, a venue in Herning. The rig featured over 100 hoists and half a kilometre of black Thomas SuperTruss, plus lighting, sound, and video production.
