ADV ANCED ELEV A TOR SYSTEM BASED ON DRIVE TECHNOLOGY CUSTOMER PROFILE A set of lifts in the 14-storey Peel House building in Manchester have been refurbished using a pioneering technology based on Control T echniques drives that provides direct-to-floor control. KEY BENEFITS • REDUCED COSTS • QUICKER & EASIER TO INSTALL • DIRECT-TO-FLOOR SYSTEM THE CHALLENGE The lifts at Peel House were in urgent need of refurbishment. Previously, the lifts had a creep-to- floor control profile, where a series of shaft encoders returned position signals to the controller, indicating when to slow to creep speed. It had been assumed that gearless lift systems (which don’t have the benefit of geared ratios to improve a drive’s effective response) needed a load weighing device to provide the l
