Versatile and efficient
A controller for stage equipment must be versatile, easy to operate, capable of responding to a wide variety of demands and one hundred per cent safe and reliable in the implementation of runs and movements - it must, in other words, be a ChainMaster controller!
ChainMaster stage controllers are modular in structure and therefore capable of adapting to all situations. Added to which, a wide range of auxiliary equipment is available. With our multi-function controllers, all stage machinery can be controlled with ease, security and complete reproducibility. The operation is intuitive; controls are ergonomically arranged and clearly laid out; displays are easy to read, messages simple to understand. The result is the ultimate in user-comfort combined with maximum safety and reliability.

The XYZ Wireless Controller is a complete mobile auxiliary controller for the ChainMaster XYZ control system. It enables the EN61508 BGV-C1/SIL3 compliant multi-user operation of electrical chain hoists, trolleys, rope winches and stage machinery throughout the stage area. The controller is also ideal for programming complex sequences of movements in offline operation, making it an extraordinarily flexible interface between operators and stage hoists. The user interface and the clearly laid-out functions enable simple, intuitive operation while maximizing safety and allowing continuous access to the hoists and stage machinery integrated into the system. A mobile docking station, a supporting arm system and a shoulder strap make using the XYZ Wireless Controller a breeze. Various USB devices and additional operating panels with hotkeys and signal lights are available as optional extras. The XYZ Wireless Controller comes with a plastic dust shield or on request a professional flight case.
The XYZ Stage Controller comes as standard in a 19" housing and is available in both slot and case-top versions according to choice. A further option is provided by the Premium version, which has a wooden frame and is designed for table installation.
Over 16 years of experience in constructing stage technology controlling systems have helped our systems become market leaders worldwide.
Whether it’s single channel systems for rigging operations or secure control of movement above the audience according to IEC-61508/SIL3 or combined configurations, ChainMaster control systems are safe, scalable, flexible and dependable.
Several control stations can be connected via Ethernet, allowing several operators to carry out complex three-dimensional movements in the XYZ axes. The centrepiece of this system is the XYZ Stage Operator with its 17" touch screen and two joysticks. Advanced software incorporates ideas and concepts collected from many projects and customers, and they are all available to you for your next show.
