Kinetic Ring Art Installation: Six-Motor Control System Built in India, Sold in the USA

Kinetic Ring Art: Engineering Motion into Art

Kinetic art relies on precise, reliable motion to create its effect. A large US-based company that creates kinetic art installations as part of its fundraising business model works with CADLETE Designs to develop and manufacture specialized art pieces.

This piece uses six independently controlled motors, each driving its own ring. The rings rotate in different directions and patterns, creating a dynamic visual illusion that keeps changing as you watch.

We developed the complete electrical and control system that synchronizes all six motors, including the electrical schematic, wiring architecture, hardware, motor control and the different operating modes and movement patterns. We also handled the full mechanical and electrical integration: the control board, six-motor cable assembly, wire routing and clean internal organization for a reliable, serviceable build.

After assembly in India, we delivered the finished art piece to the client in the USA. It performed successfully and sold to the end customer in its first round.
