Speed technology

A simple observation:

Today, a lift spends more than 90% of its time traveling with a load below its maximum capacity. Based on this simple observation, our research and development teams have found ways to optimise the power consumption of the device.
By regulating the lift movement speed according to the load being lifted, we were able to develop .

Unique technology:

Speed boasts another feature that when the device is empty or with a low load, it moves faster (30%), helped by an optimised balance of the lift car. When the load exceeds a threshold close to the maximum load the device automatically reduces its speed up to 30% (about 1% of cases according to VDI 4707). This technology reduces the power consumption of the device during each movement whilst maintaining optimum yields.

Increased security:

Speed operates in standalone mode in the event of external power failure (inverter kit option). Total autonomy is also possible (optional solar kit on batteries).

A global approach:

Integrated for a global reflection of sustainable development, Speed requires no additional components as the technology is entirely supported by the Speed controller.
Speed technology also integrates the standby of all electronic components during extended shutdown periods.
Counterweight load reduction improves component durability and reduces waste processing when it is replaced.

An unexpected result:

Thanks to the combination of all these elements, Speed allows for superior energy performance standards than those required for a VDI A classification.
Speed technology is already standard on many Sodimas solutions, in particular: The VM Speed: first application of the Speed philosophy and The VSpace: for the optimisation of lift car space, ....

A choice for the future:

Speed now accepts any type of renewable energy variable in time ...
