Wired for Stagehand & Spikemark

With Gearmotor at the center of your machine, control is a snap. Plug-and-play with Stagehand Apprentice using standard Motor and Signal cables. Installation and programming is as simple as setting an IP address and dropping your machine into your Spikemark show file. Combine the motion of your Gearmotor driven effects with any Creative Conners machinery for seamless execution of your most ambitious automated cues.

Integrating your own limit switches is a snap. Gearmotor is equipped with standard M12 connections for plug-and-play compatibility with common limit switches. Don’t need limits for your turntable machine? No problem. Gearmotor ships with jumpers to disable the limit signals.

Simplify Retrofits

Save your old machines! Use Gearmotor to convert out-of-date & out-of-service stage machinery into modern marvels.

Whether you have a storage room of semi-functional winches or a custom-built turntable machine that has seen better days, Gearmotor paves the way for state-of-the-art programming and control.

The gearmotor swap reduces a complex electro-mechanical science project to a simple conversion kit.
