Motion Control Automation

We are happy to announce the release of our sub-site www.bodyhitpack.com showcasing the release of our new range of intelligent electronic sequencers: “BodyHit Packs”.
We have many years experience in designing electronics for custom sequencing requirements.

Our previous electronic sequencers continue to be used extensively by special effects crews in the film industry.

Over the years we have been keeping note of the feedback from our clients who get to use our sequencers in a variety of harsh environments, and have designed this new range from the ground up to take into account their requests.

With our Tuffit8 sequencers (first pack availabe in our range) we are taking electronic sequencing to a whole new level in terms of functionnality, security, and firing redundancy.

One of the most thought after features that we integrated to our device is the ability to test pyrotechnics. Thanks to our short circuit and cross channel detect system, you will know there is a problem before its too late.

We design and build film motion control platforms and special effects equipment for sequencing, firing and control, and have recently updated our list of film credits. Our programmable sequence controllers, pyrotechnic firing controllers, and body hit packs have been used on more TV and Film projects than it is possible to mention, along with our battery boxes, breakout boxes, switch boxes and sequence boxes. Contact us to discuss your requirements.

• Film Credits

• Harry Potter

  Control of a multi axis motion control platform for filming on the broom.

• Golden Compass

  Motion control of a hydraulic platform for the airship. Designed and built the controls for the compass needle movement.

• Sweeney Todd

Our 8 way programmable sequence controller has been used for a huge variety of applications such as :

• Light sequencing
• Valve sequencing
• Relay sequencing
• Controlling motors, solenoids, leds

It’s features are:

• 8 sequenceable output channels
• Input voltage 6-24V DC
• Channel output voltage is the same as the input voltage
• Each channel can drive up to 300mA (easily runs relays for higher power applications)
• Store up to 60 steps in a sequence
• Full speed control over sequence output
• Can be pre programmed to your requirements
• Can be supplied with relays for higher power applications
• Variety of packages

Our pyrotechnic manual firing controller allows special effects supervisors full manual control over sequence timings and duration.

• Up to 32 output channels
• Each unit is linkable to allow unlimited output channels
• Can trigger valves, lights, relays, pyrotechnics
