(1) SPACE SAVING

:: SMALLER EQUIPMENT, SMALLER MACHINE ROOM
Mitsubishi Electric’s cutting-edge technology offers the most advanced elevator features without requiring a large machine room. Our newly developed traction machine and control panel can be adapted to suit the required speed and capacity for any building use or design.

• Compact Traction Machine
   
• Compact Control Panel
   

Mitsubishi Electric was the world’s first company to replace induction motors with permanent magnet (PM) motors, developed in-house, for high speed and super high-speed elevators. Through continual efforts, our Research and Development engineers have created an extremely compact, highly efficient “Poki Poki Motor*,” which reduces the traction machine size by about 30% in axial dimension. The Poki Poki Motor also conserves energy, reduces CO 2 emission, and runs for a longer life span. The combination of its unique foldable-joint structure and our proprietary stator core technology enhanced the manufacturing efficiency significantly, making it possible to adopt the Poki Poki Motor to most of our elevators.

:: COMPACT CONTROL PANEL
The reduced number of PCBs, a high-accumulation LSI integrating digital control circuitry, and application of the “heat-pipe method” to the low-loss IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) are configured in an optimal design and greatly contribute to cutting the size of the control panel to less than half the size of the previous control panels.

(2) COMFORT

High-Speed Computer Processor
The high-accumulation LSI integrating digital control circuitry has significantly increased the speed of the computer processing, enabling precise control of the traction motor for acceleration and deceleration. This innovation delivers a quality ride with the least noise and vibration. The adoption of the low-noise IGBT with faster switching speeds also contributes to further reduce the noise.

Advanced Door Controls
VVVF* Inverter Control has been adopted to ensure smoother and quieter door operations, thereby enhancing passenger safety and product reliability. Our innovative door operation system employs a highly efficient “one-chip RISC microcomputer” which detects the constant variations on each floor in the door load, the strength of the wind, and even sediment in the sill grooves. It adjusts the door open and close speeds, as well as the door motor torque as needed for each floor using the Auto Tuning function. The learning-capable Door Load Detector immediately reverses the doors when abnormal load is detected on the doors.

Active Roller Guide*
(Available only with GPM- I I I of 5.0m/sec. or higher)
The amount of lateral vibration generated by high-speed elevator cars is tremendous. A world’s first innovation in the industry, Mitsubishi Electric\'s Active Roller Guide technology greatly reduces the vibration. It works via an accelerometer that detects car vibration during operation, along with actuators that cancel the vibration through a controlled electromagnetic force. Mitsubishi Electric Active Roller Guides ensure a more comfortable ride than elevators employing conventional roller guides.

Multi-Beam Doors Sensor (Optional)
3D Multi-Beam Door Sensor(Optional)
Multiple infrared light beams emitted between the car door edges (and those emitted toward the hall in case of 3D) protect passengers from getting caught by closing doors. Doors reverse and open immediately if the beams are interrupted during door closing.

(7) Thicker Handrails (optional)[F, L]
The handrails have been made thicker (38mm in diameter) so that passengers can hold the handrails securely through out their travel in the elevator.

(4) EARTH CONSCIOUS

VVVF Inverter Control
Mitsubishi Electric is the world’s first company to develop a VVVF Inverter Control for elevators. The VVVF Inverter Control delivers not only smooth control of the traction machine, but its regenerative braking system also significantly conserves energy. The low-noise IGBT further reduces energy consumption, as it operates at a low voltage yet at a faster switching speed. A highly efficient PWM (pulse width modulation) converter is applied to high-speed elevators, delivering impressive overall energy savings.

Energy Saving in Off-peak Periods*
Mitsubishi Electric’s group controller comes with unique energy saving features that are designed to automatically reduce energy consumption while elevators are in standby mode. In addition, during off-peak periods, the group controller goes into “sleep mode” to further reduce energy consumption, yet remains “awake” enough to constantly monitor potential elevator calls.
*Available only with AI Group Control Systems

(5) IT SOLUTIONS

IT DRIVES ELEVATOR EVOLOTION
Mitsubishi Electric’s Information Technology creates great strides in elevator evolution. Our new technology creates benefits not only for passengers but also for building tenants and owners. The cutting-edge IT solutions include the following:
• Graphic Display & Touch Panel System
• * AI Group Control Systems
• MelEye Elevator & Escalator Remote Monitoring and Control System
*AI: Abbreviation of “artificial intelligence”.

Graphic Display & Touch Panel System
An innovative, easy-to-use navigation system using a thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD), that enables passengers to select destination floors while allowing the building tenants or owners to create customized displays of event news or advertisements. The “information as you wish” feature allows for the creation of attractive and eye-catching displays tailored to each user’s needs.
