Successful Together
<br><br>DTS<sup>2</sup> & NORD DRIVESYSTEMS have been working together for many years & have implemented numerous projects together. The stage technicians from Groningen not only value the high quality & reliability of NORD drives, but also the drive experts consistent co-engineering. “We need a reliable partner who designs the best possible solutions for us, knows about the special requirements of stage technology, and is also familiar with topics such as safety and legal provisions”, says Vos. “During the entire project, NORD assisted us with great commitment and extensive technical knowledge. NORD’s technical support and service is really remarkable.” NORD uses its comprehensive modular system to optimize the required drive solution, which can be simply and easily adapted to customers individual requirements. In addition, the co-engineering from NORD also includes topics such as energy efficiency, reduction of variants as well as compliance with legal standards & safety regulations. “The latter is particularly important in theater construction,” Eeuwe Vos emphasises. “In theaters it is dark, extremely heavy loads are moved simultaneously, and actors work completely without safety clothing. Everybody has to be able to trust the technology. This is why it has to operate particularly safely and reliably.”
NORD drive technology has proven itself for years in numerous theatrers around the globe. All drives meet the stringent safety requirements of DIN 56950 & DIN EN ISO 13849-1 /-2 as well as the German accident prevention regulations DGUV 17+18. If further requirements apply in particular countries, NORD plans the drive systems locally according to the applicable guidelines & safety standards. The very highest level of safety & reliability is ensured among other things by a redundant braking system for the geared motors, as well as the motors being sized for double the load placed on the gear units used for the hoists.
