What is the biggest hidden cost item for contractors, cabin manufacturers, and installation companies in the global elevator industry?
The answer is simple: Long installation processes and endless fault reports received post-installation.
While elevator door systems are at the center of breakdown calls, the vulnerabilities of traditional sensors to dusty environments and direct sunlight directly threaten operational continuity. As Liftkeys, the LKS Horus Light Curtain we developed to minimize the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of our B2B partners offers the industry not just a spare part, but an invisible security wall that operates 24/7 without interruption.
Why LKS Horus? Engineering and Operational Benefits
Designed to make life easier for everyone from your on-site installation teams to the end user, here are the technical advantages LKS Horus brings to your projects:
- Full Compliance with Global Standards (EN81-20 & EN81-70): For companies undertaking international projects or exporting, compliance is not an option, but a necessity. LKS Horus fully meets elevator safety standards, providing you with complete assurance during your official inspection and certification processes.
- "Blind-Spot-Free" Detection with 174 Beams: Our advanced light curtain technology creates 174 cross beams thanks to 72 infrared diodes in its hardware. With both short and long-distance operational precision between 0 – 4000 mm, the system detects even the slightest movement in fractions of a second (Fast Response).
- Stability in Harsh Conditions (Sun and Dust Resistance): Harsh environmental conditions, the number one culprit of sensor malfunctions, are history with LKS Horus. Its ability to operate stably even under direct sunlight and in highly dusty shaft environments minimizes the "unnecessary service calls" (call-outs) of maintenance companies and increases your profitability.
- Short-Circuit Preventing Smart Chassis and Anodized Structure: Malfunctions caused by static or leaks on metal surfaces are prevented thanks to the special anodized coating structure of LKS Horus and the plastic isolation barriers in the mounting holes. Your hardware is protected under all conditions.
- Fast Installation and Slim Design: Time equals cost. It accelerates field teams thanks to its slim design of only 8.2 cm width and the long-lasting, flexible extension cables (2.5m x 2) included in the package. Depending on the architecture of your project, it offers flexible mounting options on center-opening moving panels or fixed base combinations.
For Us, This is Not Just a Sensor: Allowing field personnel to perform system checks in seconds with the green (power) and red (obstacle detection) indicators on the power unit, LKS Horus provides error-free data to the brain of your elevator.
We, as Liftkeys, do not offer cheap products; we offer the right quality with the right engineering that adds value to your projects. Add speed to your installation processes and maximum security to your doors with LKS Horus.
