KONE Alta™ The high rise elevator system for the 21st century

KONE innovation for high altitudes KONE´s rise to a leading global elevator and escalator company derives from a succession of industry firsts and technological innovations. Each new achievement has lifted us higher, bringing our visions of ultimate vertical transportation systems closer to reality. KONE Alta™ began as such a vision. Drawing upon the global resources of the recognised innovator. Raising elevator technology to new heights. KONE Alta™ is the ultimate high-performance elevator system dedicated the world´s tallest buildings, offering a unique combination of intelligence, speed,...

The maximum load/speed capabilities of the Alta: Duty Double-deck Freight

One elevator technology throughout the building The KONE Alta™ completes the range of our EcoSystem™ elevators. KONE is the first elevator company to offer high-quality gearless elevators for all types of buildings. In tall buildings, this means 100% consistency throughout the building – samegeneration elevator technology for low-, mid- and high-rise applications alike. Online safety, security and operational supervision of elevators and escalators Energy- and space-efficient EcoDisc® hoisting machines Silent CarTM technology for ultimate ride comfort, streamlined for very high speeds Car...

Power to soar, performance to admire KONE Alta™ high performance specification features the new generation EcoDisc®‚ hoisting machines based on PMSM (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) technology to replace conventional AC gearless machines. The advanced group control system takes advantage of the vast memory capacity and processing speed of modern computers. The specification is enhanced by a PMSM-powered door system and expertly designed single- and double-deck elevator cars that minimize noise and vibration, ensuring outstanding ride comfort. The sum of the parts equals state-of-the-art...

KONE Alta™ combines design and technology The Alta™ system sets a new benchmark in elevatoring major buildings, combining advanced technology with architectural innovation. Minimum passenger waiting and flight times are ensured by the Traffic Master 9900 GA control system. Its Genetic Algorithm features multi-target-optimizing capability. Artificial Intelligence and Fuzzy Logic are applied to perform support tasks. KONE Alta™ accommodates a broad range of decorative treatments to allow extension of chosen architectural design themes into the elevators. The powerful double-rotor EcoDisc®...

The high speed KONE Alta elevators are powered by double-rotor versions ® of the KONE EcoDisc hoisting machine coupled with an optimized vector-controlled V3F drive system. Since their launch in 1996, the superior characteristics of these revolutionary synchronous, permanent magnet power units have been proven in thousands of installations ® worldwide. The high-speed EcoDisc units offer up to 35% better energy efficiency than conventional AC or DC gearless machines while delivering outstanding performance and an extraordinarily smooth and quiet ride.

The largest EcoDisc® MX 100 machine can generate a top speed of 17 meters a second (3 400 fpm). Thanks to its unique axial design its weight is still only half that of conventional AC or DC units.

KONE EcoDisc® machines … ..are compact and feature a very high power-toweight ratio. They offer flexibility for machine room layouts and save up to 30 tons of weight (high-speed 8-car group), reducing structural support requirements. #24 Compact EcoDisc® dimensions save space and accelerates installation The KONE Alta single-wrap roping arrangement not only helps achieve a higher standard of ride comfort, it also extends rope life to two to three times over the traditional double-wrap alternative. ™ Elimination of slip and magnetizing losses, 92% efficiency and 0.95 power factor combine to...

Symphony of movement KONE Traffic Master 9900 GA group control system is the nerve center working within a high-speed serial communication network to create an interactive symphony of movement throughout the building. The system derives its superior traffic performance from the parallel use of several ’soft computing’ methods. The dispatch function is based on the advanced, highspeed Genetic Algorithm (GA) which selects the best possible routing of the elevators for the most effective passenger service in all traffic situations. Performance is further enhanced by the application of...

KONE Alta™ brain power The high-speed TMS9900 GA call allocation process consists of four stages: First, the passenger flows are recorded, identified and measured for short term and daily traffic statistics. The TMS9900 GA uses Artificial Intelligence to ‘learn’ the traffic and to generate forecasts for each weekday. Using short- and longterm forecasts based on this knowledge, a Fuzzy Logic module generates detailed models of the prevailing traffic patterns. The measured traffic data and the momentary prevailing traffic patterns, together with actual drive time and stop time data, are then...

Smooth, swift and quiet Creating perfect ride comfort in high-speed elevators is a science, requiring complete understanding of the complex forces and elements involved and how to control them to always maintain passengers well within their physiological ‘comfort zone’. KONE Alta™ technology masters all these areas; the elevators are designed, engineered, installed and verified to deliver a truly exceptional, comfortable ride. Vibrations and sways are barely perceptible. Machine, rope, guiderail and wind noises are dramatically reduced. The motion perceived by passengers is controlled...

For very high-speeds aerodynamic deflection shrouds are added to reduce air turbulence and noise.

KONE Alta™ ‘Triple-A’ ride A perfect elevator ride, the KONE ‘AAA comfort class’ is standard in Alta™ elevators. It is achieved through: – • Well-designed componentry • Thorough planning • Expert installation • Verification of the ride comfort specification. Specially developed KONE high-rise installation methods, tools and trained specialists are essential for achieving the ‘Triple-A’ ride comfort class. The main ride comfort related components are the guide rails, car structure and sling, door, roller guides. Sound attenuators help seal off machine room noise. Hoistway construction and...
