THE EVOLUTION OF MITSUBISHI QUALITY
FREEDOM OF LAYOUT
UNIVERSAL DESIGN, NATURALLY

Now that all the equipment is installed within the hoistway, there are far fewer restrictions on building design apart from the actual space required for the shaft. Architects and interior designers have more design freedom than ever.

More Architectural Freedom
Architects, builders, and even interior designers will appreciate the new design freedom that comes with the machine-room-less system. With all the equipment installed in the hoistway, designers have far fewer restrictions on elevator placement and arrangement. There's no need to include machine rooms in the plans, nor even to factor in load stress to the building structure* -- since vertical elevator reaction loads are supported by guiderails.

Smaller Hoistway Footprint
Despite the fact that all the elevator equipment is now installed in the hoistway, the shaft footprint is actually 10% smaller than previous models*. The miniaturization extends vertically too.
*With GPS-III for EN81-1 code areas P8-CO, rated speed of 1.0m/s (3.3 ft./sec.), entrance width 800mm (31.5 in.).

Miniaturized and Optimally Configured
Mitsubishi Electric has succeeded in miniaturizing all key elevator equipment. The gearless traction machine and compact PM motor are installed within the hoistway, and the slim control panel (98mm/3.9 in. thick*) is now located on the shaft sidewall. This arrangement of equipment frees up space normally required in separate machine rooms or penthouses. The control panel and equipment are configured for easy maintenance, and the entire compact system is optimally organized for performance and service.
