Elevator Industry | Autonics USA

U-shaped photoelectric sensors and magnetic proximity sensors are used for precise position control of elevator cars by detecting light blocking plates on each floor and prohibiting excess movement.

Laser scanners installed at crosswalks to detect pedestrian movement.

Laser scanners featuring up to 10 m detection area installed on doors of subway or railway platforms to detect the presence of passengers and control opening and closing of doors.

Laser scanners installed on platform screen doors (PSDs) to detect presence of passengers
 

Laser scanners used to control parking lot gates by detecting entry/exit of automobiles.

Area sensors installed on platform screen doors (PSDs) to detect presence of passengers.

Incremental rotary encoders are used alongside motors in geared winding machines to control ascending or descending movement of elevator cars.

This is an example of an elevator, escalator, and parking system using Autonics products.

5-point cross-beam type elevator sensors are used to detect people or objects entering or leaving the elevator and accordingly control the opening and closing of elevator doors.

Proximity sensors transmit position limit signals during opening and closing of elevator doors to signal completion. 

Incremental rotary encoders are installed inside the motor of the door operation control room to accurately control the open/close position of elevator doors using pulse signals from the encoders.

U-shaped photoelectric sensors are used for precise position control of elevator cars by detecting light blocking plates on each floor and prohibiting excess movement.

U-shaped photoelectric sensors are used for precise position control of elevator cars by detecting light blocking plates on each floor and prohibiting excess movement.

Incremental rotary encoders are used alongside motors in geared winding machines to control ascending or descending movement of elevator cars.

Automatic door-side sensors are used to detect entry into escalators and start escalator drive operation.

Emergency switches installed on escalators can be used to stop operation of the escalator in the event of an emergency (falling, entrapments, etc.).

Photoelectric sensors are used to detect entry or exit of vehicles in parking towers to prevent automatic closing of doors. 

Absolute rotary encoders are used to control the rotating position of parking turntables used during entry/exit of automobiles.

Inductive proximity sensors installed in parking turntables to detect the plates on the turntables and control the set/fixed position of the turntables. 

HMI graphic panels used to control parking operation and retrieval of vehicles, and monitor status of parking spaces with simple touch panel operation.

Key switches and selector switches can be used to control drive/stop operation automatically or manually.
