A critical aspect of the operation of the new roof over Wimbledon's Centre Court is the accurate positioning of each of the ten 77m long, 100 tonne roof trusses. This is accomplished with the aid of linear encoders, which help the control system to position the trusses with millimetre accuracy.rnThe movable roof structure over Wimbledon's Centre Court is unlike any other of its kind in the world. Designed, manufactured and assembled by specialist hoist and crane designers Street CraneXpress for the All England Lawn Tennis Club and its main contractor Galliford Try, the 110 tonne roof trusses run on 80m tracks either side of the Centre Court roof.
