Traction Machine with PM Motor

(PM motor: permanent magnet motor)

The joint-lapped core built into the PM motor of the traction machine features flexible joints. The iron core acts like a hinge, which allows coils to be wound around the core more densely, resulting in improved motor efficiency and compactness. A high-density magnetic field is produced, enabling lower use of energy and resources and reduced CO2 emissions.

Super High-rise Rope Mechanics

Our new sfleX-rope® is comprised of bundles of high-intensity steel wire strands, each covered with plastic, offering higher intensity than conventional rope for safe operation despite the greater weight of longer ropes. Each wire has a higher density and wider cross-sectional area than conventional rope, which helps to reduce rope stretching caused when passengers step into the elevator.

The sfleX-rope® is a registered trademark of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation.

Active Roller Guide (Optional)

The amount of lateral vibration generated by high-speed elevator cars can be tremendous. As a world's first innovation in the industry, our Active Roller Guide technology reduces this vibration by approximately 50%.

It works via an accelerometer that detects car vibration during operation, along with actuators that cancel the vibration through a controlled electromagnetic force. Our Active Roller Guides ensure a more comfortable ride than elevators employing conventional roller guides.

Using Energy Wisely

Our long-term commitment to developing energy-efficient elevators has created systems and functions that make intelligent use of power.

Devices that Use Less Energy

LED Lighting (Optional)

Used for ceiling lights and hall lanterns, LEDs boost the overall energy performance of the building. Furthermore, a long service life eliminates the need for frequent lamp replacement.

Maximizing Operational Efficiency and Minimizing Energy Consumption

Energy-saving Operation - Allocation Control: ESO-W (ΣAI-2200C only)

This system selects the elevator in a group that best balances operational efficiency and energy consumption. Priority is given to operational efficiency during peak hours and energy efficiency during non-peak hours.

Through a maximum 10% reduction in energy consumption compared to our conventional system, this system allows building owners to cut energy costs without sacrificing passenger convenience.

Emergency Situations

Emergency Operations

Enhance safety by adding emergency operation features which quickly respond to a power failure, fire or earthquake.

For Safe Boarding

Door Safety Devices

Our reliable safety devices ensure that the doors are clear to open and close. Depending on the type of sensor, the detection area differs.

Group Control Systems: ΣAI-22 and ΣAI-2200C

Destination Oriented Allocation System: DOAS (Optional for ΣAI-2200C)

Allocating Passengers to Cars Depending on Destination Floors

When a passenger enters a destination floor at a hall, the hall operating panel immediately indicates which car will serve the floor.

Because the destination floor is already registered, the passenger does not need to press a button in the car. Furthermore, dispersing passengers by destination prevents congestion in cars and minimizes waiting and traveling time.(Car destination floor indicator can be installed on the car operating panel as an option to display which floors the car stops at.)

Advantages of DOAS at Hall

LCD Information Display* (10.4- or 15-inch)

The cutting-edge LCD display delivers elevator information with stereoscopic direction arrows and animated pictures, and entertains the passengers with DVD playback/television. The display installed in a car can also run a slideshow of still images.

Elevator Monitoring and Control System: MelEye (Optional)

MelEye closely observes the operational status of elevators that handle continually changing passenger traffic. This allows building managers to rapidly respond to changing traffic patterns, thus optimizing the performance of elevators and maximizing the added value of the whole building.

The application of the latest network technology has also greatly increased the number of controllable elevators, which minimizes the cost spent on facilities such as supervisory rooms and monitors.

MelEye is our solution to futuristic building traffic monitoring systems.
