5. In-depth Project Analysis
5.1 Venue Environment & Engineering Challenges
Mengzhilan Youth Olympic Sports Park Gymnasium is a standard large sports arena with a grid-pattern steel ceiling featuring excellent load-bearing capacity yet unevenly distributed suspension points. Additionally, the stage is equipped with a simulated rainfall effect and wire mesh flooring, which demands enhanced protection for under-stage cables and improved splash resistance for overhead rigging systems.
The biggest challenge lies in the opening act: the artist is suspended 15 meters above the ground and slowly descends to the center of the stage in total darkness. This process requires the lifting unit to deliver exceptional vertical stability with zero visible swing, smooth acceleration and deceleration control, as well as fully reliable safety redundancy.
5.2 Product Selection Rationale: Why Choose LingSheng Lifting Unit?
After rigorous tender evaluation, Fengyi’s 65kg 15m lifting unit stood out for the following core advantages:
-
Superior Load CapacityThe 65kg rated load can support a custom large irregular LED screen (approx. 2.5m × 2m), a heavy-duty lighting frame assembled with 15 high-power beam lights, or safely carry a single performer for aerial wire stunts, fully meeting the requirements of the opening aerial entrance segment.
-
Extended Travel & Concealment PerformanceThe 15-meter vertical travel allows the unit to retract completely into the dark upper area of the arena ceiling and stay out of sight before the reveal, creating a stunning "sudden appearance" effect.
-
Millimeter-level Positioning AccuracyEquipped with a closed-loop servo motor and high-precision encoder, the unit can stop accurately at any position within the full travel range with a tolerance no more than 1mm, which is critical for precise alignment between the performer and stage props upon landing.
-
Dual Safety RedundancyThe combination of dual steel cables (main load-bearing cable + backup safety cable) and mechanical fall arrester can lock the load instantly in extreme scenarios such as main cable breakage or power failure, eliminating fall risks completely.
5.3 Programming & Motion Curve Design for the Aerial Entrance
To amplify the dramatic appeal of the opening scene, the lighting programming team customized delicate motion curves for the LingSheng unit via the grandMA3 console:
- Initial Soft Start (0 → 0.2m/s): The acceleration is set to an extremely low level to eliminate impact during startup, providing sufficient buffering for the rigging and the performer and preventing swaying.
- Constant-speed Operation (0.5m/s): After the startup phase, the unit descends at a steady speed, allowing the audience to follow the visual focus and enabling camera crews to capture smooth tracking shots while building up anticipation.
- Gradual Soft Stop (0.5 → 0m/s): As the performer approaches the wire mesh stage floor, the system executes linear deceleration based on encoder feedback until a full stop. There is no jitter or vibration at landing, delivering an ultra-smooth effect like a feather touching the ground.
5.4 Safety & Monitoring Interconnection
Throughout the nearly 3-hour performance, the LingSheng unit was fully integrated into the grandMA3 central control system:
- Technicians monitored key operational parameters including load current, steel cable tension and motor temperature in real time via the Art-Net protocol.
- The system adopts dual main/backup power supply plus online UPS (battery life ≥ 30 minutes). In case of unexpected power loss, the unit can rise to the top position and lock automatically.
- Built-in timecode synchronization enables millisecond-level linkage with music beats. The lifting motion aligns perfectly with the performer’s choreographed moves on exact beats, achieving seamless integration of human performance and mechanical movement.
Tailored to the concert’s CNC Mechanical Aesthetics positioning and the strict requirements of the 10,000-capacity arena, the Fengyi team delivered a comprehensive solution as follows:
6.1 Adaptation for Extended Travel & Maximum Vertical Clearance
The long-travel capability of the 65kg 15m lifting unit enables precise installation of heavy-load suspension points on the main load-bearing steel trusses 15 meters above the stage. Structural engineers verified all suspension points with a design load 8 times the static load of the equipment, far exceeding industry safety standards. The suspended large irregular LED screen can be fully concealed in the ceiling shadow and descend vertically for over 10 meters during reveal, creating a strong sense of anticipation and dramatic visual contrast.
6.2 Redundant Safety & Anti-swing Design
- A dual-cable redundant system is adopted: the main cable bears the load while the secondary cable serves as backup. Each cable can independently support the full rated load.
- Custom flexible steel cable pulley sets, combined with high-precision encoders and mechanical limit switches, keep suspended loads vertically stable with barely visible swing, even amid complex on-site airflow and vibration within the 15-meter travel range.
- The mechanical centrifugal fall arrester operates independently of the electrical system and requires no power supply. It triggers an instant lockup once overspeed is detected, forming the final physical safety barrier.
6.3 Digital Integration with Stage Master Control
The LingSheng unit is fully connected to the grandMA3 central control network via the Art-Net protocol. Lighting engineers can directly adjust lifting height, speed curves and acceleration/deceleration durations on the console. The unit supports group control of multiple devices to realize multi-axis synchronized movement (e.g., two lifting units working in tandem to hoist large backdrop panels), becoming an integral part of large-scale CNC mechanical choreography.
6.4 Rapid Deployment & On-site Technical Support
To meet the tight construction schedule for the opening show, professional Fengyi engineers provided on-site guidance for rigging and commissioning, completing all mechanical installation and electrical wiring one week in advance. Full-load operation tests (65kg load, full 15m travel) were conducted daily before the show to simulate extreme working conditions and record operational curves. On the performance day, two dedicated Fengyi technicians stayed on-site for full-time monitoring of system parameters, with a complete set of spare parts ready to ensure trouble-free operation.
