Elevating elevator safety

Memco’s Elite elevator safety systems
are to be installed in 74 elevators at
Indira Gandhi International Airport’s
new Terminal 3 in New Delhi. They
will be fitted to elevator doors
supplied by ThyssenKrupp Elevator.

The systems feature two
independent detection systems. The
first is a light curtain of infrared
beams criss-crossing the elevator
car’s doors; the second is a 3D
proximity detection system in the
landing zone. Any person or large
object breaking the light curtain or
detected within the 3D zone triggers
a system which automatically
reopens the elevator doors.

The combined system consists of a
transmitter detector and receiver
detector mounted on the car doors.

Each is housed in a robust profile
just 9.8mm wide. They automatically
sense door separation and adjust for
optimum performance. In many
installations a separate controller is
unnecessary.

Elite features the latest software as
standard, including power reduction
and timeout features, and can be
fitted to virtually any new or existing
elevators.
