Automation and control - TSA designs, builds and integrates theatrical automation on the Raynok control platform, cue-synced and safe every performance
The move runs the same every performance.
TSA designs and builds the machinery, then integrates and commissions it on the Raynok control platform - automated fly, revolves, tracked scenery, lifts and sunroofs, cue-synced and monitored so the move lands the same, safely, every performance.
We build it,
or we control it.
Turn-key, or Raynok control over machinery you already run. Either way, one team owns the moving parts and how they are driven.
We build it and we run it
Turn-key. TSA designs and builds the machinery, then integrates and commissions it on the Raynok control platform - one accountable partner from mechanical build to opening night.
Control over your machinery
Already have the kit? We integrate Raynok control over your existing automation and hoists, cue it to your show and commission it safely.
One axis or a whole rig
Start with a single automated bar or lift, or scale to a multi-axis 3D rig. The same system and the same operators grow with the show.
Built and controlled
as one system.
Theatrical automation is a stage move driven under software control so it runs the same way, on cue, every performance. TSA delivers it turn-key: we design and build the machinery, then integrate and commission it on the Raynok control platform. It is one part of Production Engineering.
| Moves | Fly bar, revolve, tracked wagon, lift, sunroof (a sloat: a sliding lid over a trap) |
|---|---|
| Control platform | Raynok, integrated and commissioned by TSA |
| Accountable | One team for the moving part and the control that drives it |
| Cue change or re-balanced load path | Handled in one place, not passed between vendors |
| Automation you already run | Same arrangement: we integrate control over it |
Four jobs, one system.
One accountable team
Whether we build the machinery or integrate control over yours, one team owns how it moves.
The same move, every show
The same move, every performance.
One bar to a 3D rig
From a single fly bar to a multi-axis 3D rig, on one control system.
Cued to your show
Triggered to show timecode, with live position data out to projection.
How the move runs.
Designed and built, then driven and monitored under one control system. How a cue becomes a repeatable, safe move.
-
Step 01
Mechanical design & build
The machinery that makes the move - engineered, fabricated and load-rated in-house.
-
Step 02
Drives & control
Variable-speed drives integrated with the Raynok control platform, sized to the axis and the load.
-
Step 03
Cue programming
Each move programmed to your cue sheet and, where you need it, to show timecode.
-
Step 04
Anti-sway & feedback
Closed-loop position and load feedback, with anti-sway on multi-axis moves.
-
Step 05
Run & live-monitor
Operated from the desk with live load and position read-outs, every performance.
It is one part of Production Engineering - technical design and drafting, performer flying and custom fabrication all sit alongside it.
