DMX Linear Rail
Kinetic component

Offering a variable length with precise positioning, the DMX Linear Rail is a linear axis which can be used to facilitate wide-range spatial animations and synchronized physical shapes. The modular concept of the DMX Linear Rail allows custom arrays and stacks e.g. together with individual objects, custom fixtures or lighting modules to create imposing, unique kinetic installations. It is fully accessible via software like TouchDesigner, Madrix, MadMapper and many other applications supporting DMX512 or Art-Net output. The DMX Linear Rail is available in the variants Slim (0.1 — 1.2kg push / pull) and Regular (0.1 — 3kg push / pull).
