Elevator (Lift) Manufacturing Plant (1100 Numbers per year)

ELEVATOR (LIFT) MANUFACTURING PLANT

[EIRI/EDPR/4634] J.C.: 2851XL

An elevator system is a vertical transport vehicle that efficiently moves people or goods between floors of a building. They are generally powered by electric motors. The most popular elevator is the rope elevator. In the rope elevator, the car is raised and lowered by transaction with steel rope. Elevators also have electromagnetic brakes that engage, when the car comes to a stop. The electromagnetic actually keeps the brakes in the open position. Instead of closing them with the design, the brakes will automatically clamp shut if the elevator loses power. Elevators also have automatic braking systems near the top and the bottom of the elevator shaft. Many modern elevators are controlled by a computer. The computers job is to process all of the relevant information about the elevator and turn the motor correct amount to move the elevator car in correct position.

In order to do this the computer needs to know at least three things those are where people want to go where each floor is where the elevator car is Finding out where people want to go is very easy. The buttons in the elevator car and the buttons in each floor are all wired to the computer, when anyone presses these buttons, the computer logs this request.
