There are application areas, such as retirement homes or hospitals, where the safeguarding of the door using only door edges no longer suffices. CEDES specially developed cegard/3D for these “no compromise” applications. Alongside the danger zone between the doors, the 3D system additionally monitors the area in front of the doors. People and objects who approach the elevator doors during the closing process are reliably detected and the door is reopened before someone can be injured or an object damaged. Compared to other 3D monitoring systems available on the market, the detection area does not reduce while the doors are closing, thus ensuring dependable detection during the entire closure process. Because of the modular design, cegard/ 3D is virtually predestined for modernization. Existing 2D elevator door safeguarding, i.e. only equipped with door edges, can be upgraded to a 3D system with an additional 3D sensor. cegard/3D can be combined with every door edge system available on the market, irrespective of origin, type or manufacturer.

The cegard/Max door edge has revolutionized the monitoring of elevator doors, in relation to safety and lifespan, since its introduction more than 10 years ago. The robustness and the absolute dependability, even in adverse conditions, is highly valued by elevator manufacturers and carriers. Furthermore, modernization can be realized incredibly quickly and economically. Due to the multifarious scope of design, cegard/Max can be perfectly integrated into existing equipment. The position of the individual beams, as well as the length of the edges, can be specified to the millimeter according to customers’ requirements and wishes. Additionally, various mounting kits are avail able for the most diverse door types, which ensure a simple and dependably functioning installation. And to top it off, even the color of the edges can be specified.

In various European countries, new regulations such as EN 81-80 demand that elevators without car doors must be monitored by a safety device. As a cost-effective alternative to the subsequent fitting of interior car doors, CEDES offer the cegard/ Lift door edge family. Certified in accordance with EN 954-1, category 2 (cegard/ Lift LI), respectively IEC 61508, SIL 3, they provide the required safety and thus also maintain the value of older elevator equipment. With an operating range of up to 8 meters, it is also ideal for large freight elevators.

By using innovative products, armed with the most up-to-date technology, the safety, efficiency and comfort of existing elevator equipment can be improved very quickly and comparatively inexpensively. High quality components ensure reliability and the long-tem preservation of value.
