Customized Floor Buttons | 中国

Stylish, custom-made and functional floor buttons

In Japan, elevators with standardized control systems according to the Building Standards Act are considered elevators related to building design. With many requirements for customized design, designers have a difficult time dealing with those requests with the increase of high-rise building in recent years. The elevator designer of a comprehensive electrical manufacturer, who came to IDEC for consultation, was one of them.

Design and ease of operation; what buttons satisfy the needs?
What they were looking for were pushbuttons used on operation panels in elevators. They asked for stylish floor buttons that match the building, with the right thickness and looks. At the same time, anyone who uses the elevator must be able to use the buttons comfortably.

The illuminated buttons for use as floor buttons must have a “function to indicate where to press” and a “function to illuminate to show the current floor.” The design to match the building is also necessary. Also, buttons need to satisfy requirements such as the tactile feedback that reacts with adequate force, and durability and anti-shock to withstand a strong force. Furthermore, other requirements such as operability that can be pressed even when pressed on edge, consistent and clear illumination, and anti-bacterial specifications, were needed.

Custom-made switches, the best choice for elevators
The customer consulted with IDEC because they had confidence in our experience in pushbuttons. The quality of our pushbuttons was high but we did not have products that met their design requests then. Therefore, we developed new pushbuttons that satisfy their detailed requests.

IDEC has the technology to produce elevator floor buttons according to customer requests.
As a result, we achieved the design that the customer envisioned without any compromise, and performance requirements were also satisfied. The extra benefits in cost satisfied the customer as well. They count on us for future proposals from IDEC who has the expertise of elevator standards and related laws, and abundant product lineup.
