Unique Schindler 330A SWING-DOOR elevator - Contemporary Art Museum (CAM) - Raleigh, NC
[Recorded 12/28/18 - Taken on our trip to visit family in Raleigh, NC]
This is a 330A with Adams Survivor Plus-SPC (VR HT). Yes, it's very unique. As for the swing-door, this is where it gets interesting. On "ML" and "UL", they tried to replicate an old industrial-freight elevator, so they put a big cage around the elevator, and put custom swing-doors with standard low energy automatic operators you'd find on a regular door (Norton 6300), which are somewhat integrated with the elevator. You can even see the elevator car go up and down, and an old motor (doesn't work). The doors don't have interlocks, so they can be opened even when the elevator isn't there, but they do open automatically once the elevator doors are fully open. They wired the operators to the controller somehow. Schindler probably tied the automatic operator for each floor to the microprocessor terminals that signal the controller to send the signal to open the regular doors for that floor, and adjusted the motor delay on the automatic operators to start when the elevator door finishes opening.

I was just there today. And I can actually confirm that there was a freight elevator that was once in this building before the Arts Museum moved in.
This has to be a KZread FIRST!!!! A Schindler 330A as a birdcage & a swingdoor!!!! I should tell all my buddies at Schindler about this 😁😁😁😁
I don't really like contemporary art, but I would come here just for this amazing elevator!

The exhibit (on the upper-level) was actually pretty interesting. You could shoot hoops!

NO IT'S NOT. THERE'S NO SUCH THING. Well there's an old motor looking thingy that's kinda like a traction, but it's not operational. The elevator itself's hydro.
This almost reminds me of the 330yay at Volkswagen in North Olmsted

The cab & fixtures are similar, but that 1 doesn't have a cage door :>).

I don't think so.
Seems that the "cage doors" are somewhat wired to the elevator controller. Very interesting.
Now this is interesting!!!
Wow!!! That's cool!
Interesting. Looks like it may have replaced something else.

I swear, you find the weirdest stuff...LOL
Most likely the swing door automatic opener is tied into the elevator door open/close microprocessor on the controller board in parallel. The swing door motor would reversible.

Possibly. Alternatively, it may be tied into the interlock, w/ a delay when opening, but not closing. Immediately after the elevator door closes, the swing-door closes.
Cool elevator
Interesting, BUT they should made it glass

I think the reason it wasn’t made glass is because you can only look-out when on “ML” & “UL”.
Now what may happen if the elevator is put in IS or FS?

When it comes to the swing/cage door, it depends on how it's wired to the elevator.
Is there an outer elevator door, or just the gate?

There’s an outer-elevator door. The gates have no interlocks.

They should have made the elevator glass
Title is misleading. I was thinking the swing door was the outer door and had an interlock

It's called clickbait (kinda). Mostly just trying to attract views.
