Thanks for the in depth Thyssenkrupp Isis Elevator View, Diesel Ducy!

It's amazing that modern elevators don't need gigantic machines in a big room over the shaft any more. Just a tiny motor and some small gears at the top of the shaft. Awesome video DD!

Yeah. Elevator tech is amazing. Check out Thyssenkrupp's website and you will see they are developing a new elevator system called "MULTI"

My Dad worked on elevators for almost 40 years. He always has very interesting stories to tell about his time as an elevator constructor. He retired from it five years ago, and now he works as an elevator inspector.

hey DieselDucy i was working in a building on guard duty about a good distance away and i got to watch them build the elevator, it was very interesting to see and witness

That was really cool, and is awesome that you could give us a demonstration of this from the safety and comfort of our own home! If I wanted to do this, I would definitly want to do it safely and legally!

At my dads work they have a giant crane along the ceilings of these 2 buildings made for fish counting and loading of the fish truck (he works at the department of water resources fish facility) and the cranes have a remote and it runs similar to this. There are multiple speeds for leveling, except the cranes go both vertical and horizontal

I’m never been on the top of an elevator car before. I’m never ever going to go on a cartop of an elevator like I’ve seen in this video because I am very nice and smart! I will always ride the inside of the car where it’s much safer!

Two questions: is the 2:1 a similar thing to how some theatrical counterweight systems are weighted - like when they don't have a full fly? How does one actually fit a new car and system into an existing shaft - is the car flatpack and built in the shaft effectively?

Great video!

that white "computer" in the pit is a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) for the sump pump. AKA a battery backup. Same type of thing that will keep your computer running in a power outage.

Can anyone tell me what is a final limit switch for this elevator? And what it does.

Cool video! This elevator is a bottom-drive 2:1 MRL.

I know elevators have computers etc built into them. But how do you know exactly what to look at/ fix when it comes to one ?

I've heard stories about people getting crushed in the top... why do they not build ceilings that are further up to allow a gap?

are both elevators getting ripped out? you should get the parts dieselducy

I have a question why the people pushing the button repeatedly is the button light is on?

So are you a certified and licensed elevator tech as well, my work has 18 thyssen cars, super fast ones too.

Is that as fast as they go with full speed? And is it possible to get smashed at the top while riding on the top of the elevator if you’re not careful? And thank you for the video. I was thinking of doing this as a career but I’m not really a heights kind of person or I’m worried I’d fall off into the shaft or get crushed at the top. But I’m sure with enough training you get over your fears. :o lol.

The videos over. But it doesn't have to be. You can always watch more and you know what to do.

Wow is that the standard inspection speed on the Isis or has it been altered most likely , molasses slow haha that was a fresh install wasn't fully tuned yet perhaps

If that white box was the main computer, that's an interesting choice of location. Flooding would kill that pretty quickly too. Looks like it might be more of a battery backup though. Looks very close to an old APC 1k (which were a huge pain in the butt to swap batteries out on.)

lol one time my Dad took my sisters (who were 9 and 7 years old at the time) and I (16) for a tour at his work and he took us to the freight elevator pit in the building's sub basement. We were looking up into the shaft at the bottom of the freight elevator car.

very cool

I'm surprised the ISIS elevator wasn't blowing up by now

What is the song Called at the end?

Very interesting video. I've never seen the internals of one of these before. The pastic pulleys are getting more and more common where I live as well. This here might be the slowest inspection speed I've ever seen until now. Schindler in Europe uses a default of 0.3 m/s for their logics with VF drives (although some 5500s seem to be alot faster). With a simple 2-speed logic you obviously get levelling speed, although I've already seen an exception here (this lift was only moving 0.75m/s though). The fastest set inspection speed I've seen on a modern logic on a conventional traction elevator was 0.6m/s, while only going at 0.3m/s between the two bottom and the two top floors. Regarding car top rides at full speed... I kindly point to the 1954 Otis video from December 2017. xD

You are probably making stuff up too about your riding in top and it's your fault 100% for the trouble you got into if it was true.

Those inspection controls are look so much different than the fixtures in the UK, but the operation princple is the same to push both enable and up or enable and down. In the UK we have turn switches usually for Inspection/Normal instead of push for inspection here. Push to stop is pretty much the same. Also didnt see a door open switch / close here either.

@psirvent8

Except that you have to first enable inspection service from inside the car with a special key. After that (The doors are still open) you can lower the elevator from a landing keyswitch to access the cartop. In theory you could just send the car to the floor below and open the landing door with the drop key (Like we do in Europe) but I don't know if the cartop controls would be working without prior activation of the in-car "inspection service" keyswitch.

I attempted it and I survived I also have proper training

That is actually in The Habitat Store if you did not know that....

That thing in the pit you called a computer is a ups ( universal power supply) more than likely. If they lose building power that ups will run the sump pump for awhile. 👍

This should never ever be done without authorization or proper clearances and training. I get to go in the machine room when the new elevator is installed at my grandparents school this Summer. Before I get started, machine rooms are very dangerous places. This should never ever be done without authorization. If you do have authorization, don't touch anything. I know what I'm doing and I have the authorization to do this. This is for your entertainment only. So without further ado, enjoy.

What does two to one roping mean, Andrew?

@ElevatorCreator

6 жыл бұрын

Corey & Colton Two to one roping more commonly known by 2:1 roping is when the elevator car and counterweight have a pulley each where the ropes pass thru, the dead end of the ropes are terminated in the overhead after being pulled over the machine. This system of roping has a mechanic advantage by being able to lift a heavier load with less effort by the motor because the building is holding up half the weight. The trade off is the elevator runs slower, by that i mean ever 2 feet of rope passed over the machine the car or counterweight moves 1 foot.
