Bell Automation Systems by Chime Master:
Experience the Joy of Ringing Bells
At Chime Master, we offer advanced bell automation solutions that bring the timeless tradition of ringing bells into the modern age. Our systems cater to both swinging (pealing) bells and stationary (tolling) bells, ensuring your church or institution can fill the air with the rich, resonant tones that have called communities together for centuries.
IntelliSwing Swinging Bell Automation
Swinging or pealing bells create a melodic, continuous ringing by swinging in a specific sequence, a traditional art form called change ringing. A team of skilled ringers methodically permutes the bell order, producing harmonious patterns for celebratory occasions like weddings, church events, and holidays. The majestic, festive sound of pealing church bells is truly unmatched.
Chime Master’s IntelliSwing systems use programmable logic controllers to manage every aspect of the ringing experience, including swing height, speed, and direction. Built-in safety features provide peace of mind, while our cutting-edge linear motor technology ensures virtually silent, maintenance-free operation.
We can integrate new bells from our partner foundries or custom design an IntelliSwing system for your existing bells. With IntelliSwing, you can automate ringing for services, weddings, funerals, and other events, eliminating the need for manual labor.
Electric Tollers for Stationary Bells
Stationary or tolling bells produce a slow, solemn ringing, and are typically used to mark somber occasions, such as funerals, anniversaries, and national tragedies. A tolling bell has a deep, resonating tone meant to invoke a sense of gravity and remembrance. Its slow cadence is distinct from joyful celebratory ringing.
For stationary bells, our electric tollers and Sonant electro-mechanical hammers allow your bell to resound to its full potential. We upgrade these components with stainless steel hardware, corrosion-resistant coatings, and permanently lubricated bronze bushings for unmatched durability and longevity.
Our expert team can assess your existing bells and provide tailored electric toller solutions, ensuring your automated tolling system is compatible and optimized for peak performance.
Integrated Bell Control with IntelliSwing and Electric Tollers
Chime Master’s bell automation systems can integrate with real bells, digital carillons, and even tower clocks, providing centralized control and remote management capabilities. Our Libertas AX and Libertas LX control units feature intuitive touch screens for local operation and web-based remote access through our Chime.Center portal.
Extensive music libraries with seasonal arrangements are included, and you can expand your repertoire with MIDI keyboard input and file uploads.
