>Unibar
The Unibar system allows (a joint development between PCM and Slingco) for the quick and easy raising and lowering of suspension or lighting bars for scenery and lighting equipment with a motor-driven unit. The system has been designed to be installed onto any style of fixing or structure and will prove a cost-effective alternative to the more sophisticated power-assisted winch sets.
Initially available in 250 or 500kg models with single or two-speed options, the entire Unibar unit is self-contained, with the motor positioned on the end of the track. Single- or three-phase power options are offered, and other highlights include its simple, logical 'plug and play' operation.
Although initially designed for five suspension cables, thanks to flexibility in its design approach, the Unibar can be amended to support any number of suspension cables and any length of suspension bar with ultimate top and bottom limits contained within the unit's controls. Unibar allows the units to be positioned side by side with the suspension bars at 200mm centres - a real must in theatres. The Unibar control panel can either be fixed to the wall or operated by hand-held remote.

>new wave
A small truss with a 6" x 6" cross section, new wave is an alternative to traditional aluminium truss and differs dramatically in several ways. Innovative construction methods allow the use of new materials, including carbon fibre and acrylic. The carbon fibre, in addition to its high strength, can be printed prior to the tube construction, allowing textures, such as wood grain or corporate logos to be integral to the truss members. The acrylic version captures light and can provide dramatic lighting effects.
As the structural web is formed from an extrusion, it can be cut into elaborate shapes and corporate logos that are integral to the truss structure. new wave comes with the patented OMNI connection system, a fully rotating unisex fork connector, allowing a staggering array of reconfigurable two and three-dimensional structures. These can be assembled without the need for expensive custom fabrication. OMNI connectors also behave like a universal joint, allowing the construction of inexpensive, animated structures.
