Wide Range of Types

With the centering of business in cities, new buildings are rising higher than ever. These buildings require that elevators run at speeds faster than ever before. To meet this requirements, Hitachi has developed technology to allow elevators to achieve the super high speed of 810m/min. The Hitachi High Speed Elevator NPX-8000, running at speeds betweeen 180 and 240m/min, handles capacity loads from 900 to 2000 kg.

Many Design Choices

Elevators must harmonize with a building's architectual concepts: design; living and work space, and all supplemental functions. The Hitachi High Speed Elevator NPX-8000 offers many design choice for car interior; entrances, and indicators. Choose the elevator shape, color, and finish from a menu offering a wide range of selections to meet the needs of different building types.
 

Intelligent Group Control

The flexibility of Hitachi High Speed EIevator NPX-8000 meets usage demands any time of day, be it morning, noon, or night. Hitachi's advanced technology brings the flexible, intelligent group control system to realize and heighten user satisfaction. You can choose from three different group control systems to match your building size and number of elevators. The Hitachi multi-objective elevator supervisory group control system with artifical intelligence FI-340G, a newly developed system, uses genetic algorithms to provide differential floor control and let you set priority functions for different floors (Individual floor-situation control).

Smooth Door Systems

Being able to choose the opening and closing speed of the doors allows you to easily adjust the speed to match your building's use and user demands for the elevator. The system comes with an overload detection function and the doors pull back quickly when bumped or caught on something.

Variety of Functions

The Hitachi High Speed Elevator NPX-8000 offers you one step advanced functions: comfortable, safe, economical and reliable elevator operations. Whether using our standard or custom specfication, the Hitachi High Speed EIevator NPX-8000 will match your building's intelligence.

Compact and High Efficient

Hitachi has developed for elevators a high speed gear-less Traction Machine which uses high efficiency compact induction motor. By introducing the high efficiency compact induction motor and double disc brake , it is possible to achieve high efficiency, a compact design and very smooth high speed etevators. This kind of traction machine is 14% more compact and 5dB less noiser compared to currently used geared traction machines. At the same time, Hitachi has also reduced the height of the machine by introducing the disc brake.

Hitachi uses inverter technology for our low to high speed elevators. By using the most up to date IGBT technology, which concisely controls the speed by controlling voltage and frequency, our inverter elevators provide quiet and comfortable rides while using less energy. Furthermore, Hitachi has cut down high frequency noise by installing noise filter.

Hitachi digitized all the controls by using 32 bits RISC micro-processor greatly reduced the processing; which leads to smooth operation Hitachi also reduced the size of 1 control panels to more than 40% in area, and 50% in volume.

For safety equipment and door zone signals, Hitachi uses 2 micro-processors to ensure the safety. In case any minor trouble occurrs, the micro-processors detect the problem, and correct it automatically.
 

Artificial and Flexible Intelligent Group control

Hitachi has lined up FI (Flexible Intelligence) group control system, which provide artificial intelligence and learning functions.

Excellent Ornament of Space Structure.

Hitachi considers elevators as the second entrance of a building and it's platform or cars as a part of the building. Hitachi does not consider an elevator just as equipment of a transportation but as an ornament of space structure.

These are diverse demands toward the expression of the building. Therefore, our product, the New Hitachi High Speed Elevator NPX-sooo, has prepared many car designs and control buttons and others to meet the customer's need to express their ideal structures.

Especially, by preparing many types of the ceiling designs, the jamb, the door and indicators, we are ready to offer products that fit into many different types of the buildings and entrances.

We also have established the full color paint technology by adapting CG (Computer Graphic) digital portrait processing. We are able to paint the original pictures or photos or paintings onto the car wall by scanning their data and transfering to the car wall.

Microcomputers are arranged in elevator's car, each floor's entrance, machine room, and in most of the equipment and they are all connected by SCL (Serial Communication Link) which enables a high degree of service for passengers.

Furthermore, we have developed a graphic monitor system, which enables you to change the car's position and direction and to check the state of cars on.the personal computer screen. (Optional)

We also have provided an evaporation type air-conditioner, which discards using drain tank and hose. (Optional)

The multi-beam sensor will provide smooth going in or out by detecting the passenger's motion with many infrared rays. (Optional)

Additionally, Hitachi High Speed Elevator NPX-8000 provides many functions that will satisfy the passengers by being reliable and economical.

Powerful Functions for Passenger's Satisfaction

The microcomputer has rapidly progressed and become smaller with higher performances to persue elevator safety and to improve it's capacity.
