    摘要: A method for forming and smoothing a hollow-profile guide rail of an elevator system uses a smoothing apparatus to smooth mutually opposing surfaces on a hollow-profile guide rail. The smoothing apparatus includes a guide device, a removal device and a pressing device. The guide device has rollers for moving in a low-friction manner in a longitudinal direction along a first of the opposing surfaces and to thus guide the smoothing apparatus along the first surface. The pressing device has spring elements to press the removal device away from the guide device and toward a second of the opposing surfaces. The removal device has a rasp element to remove material from the second surface during a movement in the longitudinal direction along the second surface.

    摘要: The invention relates to an elevator arrangement comprising an elevator shaft wall; and a guide rail line extending vertically at a distance from the shaft wall, the guide rail line being fixed to said wall with plurality of fixing brackets; and an elevator car vertically movable along at least said guide rail line; and a hoisting machine mounted at a first vertical level between the shaft wall and the guide rail line; and a hoisting roping movable with said hoisting machine, and connected to the elevator car; wherein the guide rail line extends in vertical direction past the hoisting machine the upper end of the guide rail line being higher than said hoisting machine, and said plurality of fixing brackets comprises one or more first fixing brackets higher than said hoisting machine, by which one or more first fixing brackets the portion of the guide rail line which portion is higher than said hoisting machine is fixed to the shaft wall; and wherein the hoisting machine comprising a motor and a rotatable drive wheel. The elevator arrangement comprises an elongated hoisting passage extending vertically between the shaft wall and the guide rail line inside which hoisting passage the hoisting machine fits to be hoisted, each said first fixing bracket being shaped to circumvent the hoisting passage. The invention also relates to a method of constructing an elevator.

    摘要: The method comprises a measuring step and a separate aligning step. The alignment of guide rails supported with adjustable fastening means in the shaft is measured in several measurement points along the height of the guide rail line based on at least one reference line provided in the vicinity of the guide rails. The measurement results are stored into a memory. The guide rails are aligned based on the measurement results stored in the memory. The aligning step is carried out after the measurement results of all measurement points have been stored in the memory.

    摘要: This invention relates to a method of monitoring assembly of an elevator, comprising prefabricating a plurality of hoistway sections each hoistway section having a hoistway space, transporting the hoistway sections to a building site, and lifting the hoistway sections at the building site on top of each other. In order to facilitate fast and reliable assembly, a hoistway section is provided during prefabrication with a sensor device having a transmitter which is activating during prefabrication to transmit sensor data via to a data storage storing the transmitted sensor data in a memory. The sensor data is monitored, and transmission of a message to a predetermined recipient is triggered when the sensor data fulfills at least one predetermined criterion defined in an assembly plan.
