See the Magic? Let’s Look Behind the Curtain!
Do you love bright lights? Do you feel the booming sound at concerts? Have you ever seen sets flying up high and wondered, “How did they do that?” Let’s pull back the stage curtain. I want to show you how big musicals, concerts, and theme parks make the stage move. It’s not magic—it’s engineering.
At the heart of these wonders are actuators. My company, Jimi (Jimi Technology Co., Ltd.), makes the best actuators in the world. We turn electricity into motion—so you can raise, lower, push, pull, and tilt anything you imagine, all with just a button.
Stages Need to Wow You
Live shows must excite the crowd. Today’s audience wants dynamic, high-speed effects. The old way—moving things by hand—does not work anymore. You need precise, smooth moves that are safe and can repeat over and over.
Think about these needs:
- Sets that appear and vanish in seconds.
- Performers who fly safely, just like superheroes.
- Lights, speakers, and screens that move to the perfect spot, every time.
This is what our stage automation does best.
What Are Actuators? And Why Do They Matter?
An actuator is a strong helper. It turns power into controlled moves. Imagine a robot arm lifting a big box. That’s an actuator in action!
There are three main types:
- Electric Actuators: Clean, fast, and easy. Good for small or medium tasks, like moving lights or sliding doors.
- Hydraulic Actuators: Super strong! They lift heavy things like big stage floors or giant screens. Think of a superhero lifting a car.
- Pneumatic Actuators: They use air to move things quickly. Great for props that must pop up out of nowhere.
Electric actuators shine in live shows. They are quiet, easy to control, and save power. Our electric linear actuators give your stage what it needs to run shows again and again—with no fuss.
Table: Comparing Types of Actuators
Type | Best For | Power | Noise | Use in Shows |
---|---|---|---|---|
Electric | Lights, screens, props | Medium | Quiet | Most common |
Hydraulic | Heavy platforms | Very High | Medium | Giant moving pieces |
Pneumatic | Fast props | Low | Loud | Quick special effects |

See What My Actuators Can Do
- Move Sets and Scenery
- Flying sets: We use servo motors and automated scenery movement tools.
- Rotating platforms: Our track actuators spin big parts quickly and safely.
- Stage lifts: Big rock concerts lift singers up. We power those lifts.
- Make People Fly
With our servo motor stage systems and real-time motion control, you can fly performers with grace. My stage automation keeps them safe. We use backup systems, PLC theater automation, and emergency stops for trust and protection.
- Move Props and Special Effects
Imagine a dragon that rises up or fog that rolls in exactly on cue. We automate all these things too. Quick-acting pneumatic systems snap things into place. Our show control systems tie everything together. We even handle tricky stuff, like pyrotechnic effect actuators for sparks and lighting.
- Lights, Screens, and Sound That Move
Want LED screens to slide into view? Need stage lighting trusses that tilt and turn? Our servo linear actuator factory has the right solution for you. We make LED wall motion systems and silent, smooth truss lifts that wow your audience every time.
Why You Need Great Actuators
Modern shows use technology from start to finish. If you want a show that runs on time, stays safe, and sparkles, you need:
- Precision: Scenes must move together, every time.
- Speed: Quick changes mean more excitement.
- Safety: No mistakes. Our actuators use limit switches, E-Stops, and load sensors.
Plus, we save you money. Our data shows automated systems cut setup time by 20% to 40%. That means your crew works less and your show can move to the next city faster!
How My Control Systems Keep You Safe
I connect brains and brawn. Our PLC controllers (the brains) talk to our actuators with position feedback (the muscles). We use DMX controls, feedback systems, and backup safety stops.
If anything goes wrong, our system stops instantly. We test it over and over to make sure it’s safe—always meeting top standards, like ANSI and ESTA.
Table: Key Safety Features
Feature | What It Does |
---|---|
Emergency Stop | Stops all movement at once |
Load Monitoring | Checks weight before moving |
Limit Switches | Stops at set travel points |
Dual Encoders | Two sensors watch every move |
