tv lift

A custom plasma lift I designed and installed to serve 5 rooms in a house. Connected to a Crestron home automation system via rs-232. The servo controlled motor for vertical axis can lift 200 lbs and hold 1800lbs. The rotation can be programmed to various speed and is precise to .5 degree. The brackets to hold the arm in place are 1/2 and 1 inch thick steel plates for extra stiffness. The rotation bearing is twice the strenght of a car wheel bearing. The beam is a 8 by 8 aluminium H-beam. Very low operation noise level.

Hey, man. I am in high-end residential installations. I have to tell you that, speaking from almost 10 years of experience, that is THE most impressive lift I have ever seen. I cannot believe that you designed that by yourself! Wow!!! Who installed it for you? Or, did you install it?

You should definitely consider started a company to compete with Auton, Inca, or the other overpriced players out there. Kudos!!!

Hi and thanks for the very nice comment.

I may be good at design but i'm the worst salesman in the world...lol...but true...

this system is pretty pricey though.. as it is built just like an industrial robot.

if anybody is interested in selling this for me, i will support .... technically.

Would probably be cheaper just to by another plasma TV, but that wouldn't be nearly as cool! This is outstanding :)

A lot cheaper. But this system serves 5 rooms and the big plasma leaves the room when you are done with it to avoid breaking the very nice log house architecture you see in the video. This is why it was built.

Is the vertical motion shown in the video at the actual speed, or is the video sped up?

This is an awesome lift! Wow.

It is possible to hire profetional salesmen. I really hope you have a paitent. XD Please continue you work for the better of pointless amenities...

[danxl5]

This is the first ive seen that can do cross floor movement and certainly not at this high speed. You have no idea what you are talking about.

[danxl5]

I love the speed!

Wish the rotation was a bit faster though.

Awsome job.

But how much? I want one.
