Motion Control Automation

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.

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
