That sheave is HUGE

This is a certified YOOOOOO moment! I’m very very jelly!! 😭

I personally love KONE equipment when it’s in a machine room like this. The cars are always well built and the motors and controller are well designed. It’s not like the crappy MRL’s which always have flat cartops and a tiny little motor that’s barley supported. While these motors are well supported. I thought KONE outsourced to other companies for their drives on the MX32 because it’s basically two motors running one sheave. The fact it only has one drive probably means it’s not fast enough for that outsourcing application. However I believe this is only for KONE Alta because they run on a special controller and an Alta I’ve ridden had the MX40 machines make a squeaking noise which means the drives were outsourced. Now MX18’s are cool but MX32’s are cooler. The fact you got to see both in one motor room makes me jealous, because I’ve seen MX18 units before. I’m happy you got to experience these and I give these elevators a 9/10. Edit: I noticed the RPM was 89 for both machines, which was the same RPM for the MX18 I saw which means it goes at a speed of 350 FPM. (2:1 roping) The elevators don't move for very long assuming the mechanic placed calls from top to bottom, meaning this setup is super overkill because it only served a few floors. It's even more overkill that they used an MX32 for a speed of 350 FPM (1.765 m/s) at a capacity of 5,000 lbs. This setup is epic and amazing!

Seems like KONE now uses KDH drive for MX32 and above.

El ascensor de tracción tiene un motor de corriente continua llamado motor de CC

Wow! I love seeing a good video of a MX32 machines because I like there MX32 and higher range of motors.

Kone brakes are LOUD when you right next to them lol. I remember when I was in an MX18 machine room I would jump back lol

Impressionnant, il y a la même configuration au tribunal de paris au 39 sur 2 Monte-charge.

Great breaks

at 0:12 it shows a beautiful example of a lazy person also i like how they have mx 18's as passengers and mx 32's as services. Ik this is off topic but does anyone know what motor does that massive american dream mall kone freight that talks has?

PERIOD!!!

It's a mixed bag... There's the loss of elegance from the forms and curves of the older machine bodies made of cast metals... but there's also a certain sleek beauty in the modularity of the combination of generic frames, sheaves, armatures, brakes, proxy sensors, etc...

I agree

Shit that is sick

Woah, MX32 is really powerful. May I ask what capacity (and speed) is that lift?

@@elevator_satellite it’s 350 FPM (1.765 m/s) and looks like it only goes like four stops, same for the MX18 unit.

Cool. Kone brakes are sounded loud to me.

The new NMX motors have silent brakes, but currently they are only available for MRL machines (except for NMX18)
