The application relates to a method for detecting and monitoring the mechanical condition of an escalator or a moving walkway with at least one revolving band and at least one detecting device. The method includes (i) preparing at least one spatial image of at least one section of the revolving band, (ii) selecting at least one region of the spatial image, (iii) comparing the selected region with at least one comparison region, wherein the comparison region is defined by three-dimensional coordinates and represents a virtual space which can be clearly assigned to the selected region, and (iv) generating an alarm signal if the selected region differs from the comparison region by surpassing predetermined limits.

Monitoring of the mechanical condition of an escalator or a moving walkway

The application relates to a method for modernizing an existing escalator or an existing moving walkway. The method can include removing all the electrical and mechanical parts from the existing framework of the existing escalator or of the existing moving walkway, the existing framework having two framework side parts and a base structure connecting said framework side parts, and the framework side parts being connected to each other by means of cross members disposed at a distance from the base structure; and replacing the existing cross members of the existing framework with new cross members, the two framework side parts of the existing framework being connected to each other in a mutually stabilising manner at least one point at a distance from the base structure of the framework, during replacement of the cross members.

Method for modernizing an escalator or a moving walkway

An escalator or moving walkway comprises two access areas. The escalator or the moving walkway comprises components generating thermal losses that are arranged in at least one of the access areas in a component room. The escalator or the moving walkway comprises at least one walkable access module, which is arranged adjacent to the component compartment. The access module comprises a cavity, wherein at least one opening exists between the component compartment and the cavity, through which the thermal energy of the components generating thermal losses can be transferred from the component compartment to the cavity.

Escalator or moving walkway with at least one access module

A track module of an escalator or a moving walkway comprises at least two support structures and at least one guide rail. Each support structure includes at least two supports and at least one cross strut, wherein the cross strut is arranged between the at least two supports and connects these together. Each support has a foot fastening region which, in the installed state, is fastened to a carrying structure. Moreover, a balustrade fastening region, to which in the installed state at least a part of a balustrade is fastened, is formed at each support, so that static and dynamic loads acting on the balustrade are transmissible directly to the carrying structure by way of the supports.

Track system for an escalator or moving walkway

An escalator or a moving walkway has two access regions, each with a comb plate, and a conveying region arranged between the access regions. The conveying region extends between the two comb plates of the access regions. At least one projection projects into the conveying region at at least one stationary part of the escalator or moving walkway. At least one monitoring sensor is arranged at least partly in the at least one projection.

Arrangement of a monitoring sensor in an escalator or in a moving walkway

Guide rail for an escalator of a moving walkway, comprising at least one planar base surface with a guide surface for rollers, particularly for guide rollers of a step belt or plate belt of an escalator or a moving walkway, and at least one guide strip with a guide flank for lateral guidance of these rollers, wherein the guide strip is a separate component.
