Elevator and Lift Door Modernization with TSG Lift Door Operators by Langer & Laumann

Why replace the entire elevator door when the car door operator is sufficient?

In many cases it is sufficient to replace the car door operator in conjunction with the control unit when the elevator door goes slowly, uncontrollably fast, slams in the end position or runs unevenly. Thus, Langer & Laumann offers you a cost-efficive alternative to replacing the entire car and hoistway doors.

As long as your cabin door is still functional or spare parts are available, it is advisable to keep the original condition of the elevator. However, it is recommended to replace the ageing door drive with modern drive concept. By modernizing your elevator system, you benefit from a significant increase in performance, improved personal security as well as increased reliability while reducing power consumption.

Since 1998, Langer & Laumann has supplied the elevator industry with components and modernization packages for existing elevators and lifts. The offered elevator modification packages are adapted to the corresponding lift systems, so that we can grant the possibility of a quick retrofitting with proven reliability.

Benefits of TSG Lift Universal Door Operator for Elevator Car Door Modernization

High reliability

Regardless of open and close frequency, the IP54 splash-proof universal automatic door operator TSG Lift can be installed in all residential or commercial environments including companies, offices, homes, nursing homes, hospitals etc. The TSG Lift also comes in an explosion-proof ATEX version for the modernization of industrial plants (e.g. cement plants and cereal processing), chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, water treatment plants as well as oil and gas rigs.

Low cost

The universal door operator is very easy to install and maintain. The wiring effort has been reduced to a minimum in order to keep the installation time and the associated installation costs to modernize your elevator low. The use of a maintenance-free DC motor ensures that no further maintenance costs arise for the linear belt drive system.

Efficient technology

The encoder-controlled linear operator controls the maintenance-free DC motor with direct drive and ensures that the doors open and close safely, quickly and quietly. The programmable microprocessor enables a variety of custom settings and allows you to set the initial start-up directly on the device. The door opening and closing operations can be adjusted independently and once set up, the door drive is running in automatic mode.

In addition, the door operator has an integrated obstacle detection and automatic reversing. This ensures that the door operator triggers an immediate change of direction if the door encounters an obstacle in the doorway. This prevents irreversible damage.

Elevator Doors: The Different Types

Generally, elevator doors can be divided into car and hoistway doors. The power operated electric sliding door is the most common type of door in the elevator industry. The sliding doors are used where the lift shaft offers enough space to move the door and it leaves to one side. Sliding doors for elevators are available in left-/ right and central opening.

A multi-part telescopic elevator door is installed in an extra-wide doorway having a rather narrow slot. The drawback with telescopic doors is that a large installation depth is required.

Automatic sliding doors are now almost exclusively power operated, which means that for opening and closing the sliding door, an electric car drive (electric motor) must be used. By using a skate on the car door, the movement of the car door operator is transmitted 1:1 to the hoistway doors (landing doors).
