Type of venue

Since its opening in 1977, TAQA Theater De Vest in Alkmaar has been one of the leading cultural venues in the Netherlands.
As part of a technical upgrade, the stage machinery was equipped with the powerful C⋅A⋅T V5 control system.
The system controls a total of 54 fly bars with a load capacity of 500 kg and a speed of 2.0 m/s. It is complemented by eight point hoists, three loudspeaker winches and one portal bridge with a load capacity of 1,000 kg. The motorised main curtain – supporting German, Greek and Italian opening modes – is also integrated into the system.
