Not every modernization requires a complete conversion. Replaces door zone monitoring, inspection and emergency limit switches.
In many systems, the safety gear is intact or has already been updated - the cost of a complete replacement, including the braking system, would be disproportionately high. Our solution makes it possible to replace additional mechanical functions such as door zone monitoring, inspection and emergency limit switches with software-based, digital position management. Existing safety functions are retained and supplemented by controller-independent modules that work according to the plug & drive principle.
In this way, elevator and safety functions can be implemented in a modern and standard-compliant manner in accordance with EN 81-20/50 - without changing the existing structure and with a clear step towards full digitalization.

Our components are more than just individual parts - they form a digital security architecture that intelligently networks all relevant functions. From the sensor to the evaluation to the catch release, a system is created that not only complies with current standards, but also flexibly maps future requirements.
B
Unintentional car movement
If the cabin leaves a defined door zone in an uncontrolled manner with the doors open, the safety circuit is opened or the electromechanical safety gear is triggered.
E
Shield mode installation ensures a protected space for personnel even before the elevator is put into operation. During installation, such as rail fastening, a protective space is created sequentially according to the installation progress. Depending on the position, the cabin is secured with a tolerance of ± 5 cm.
F
The SIL3-certified measuring system consisting of Sensor Ants LES03 and Codeband determines both absolute position values and the speed of the car without slippage using a non-contact measuring principle. Many functions, such as emergency limit switches, can be implemented using this system.
New TÜV regulations and stricter safety standards present elevator operators with a clear decision: Continue with outdated technology - or take the step into the digital future with Kübler LES03 / PSU03.
