Summary
Technical role that designs escalator mechanical parts and control systems to ensure safety and durability. Performs structural design, analysis, drawing creation, and test evaluation of mechanical elements to comply with various standards and specifications as building equipment.
Description
Escalator equipment design engineers design the necessary mechanical elements (steps, chains, drive systems, guide rails, etc.) and control systems for escalators that transport passengers. They handle CAD drawing creation, FEM-based strength and load analysis, motor and sensor control specifications, safety verification based on JIS and building equipment standards laws, test evaluation, collaboration with manufacturing departments and on-site construction for improvements and troubleshooting. High accuracy and robustness are required, and on-site surveys, attendance, and maintenance manual creation are also included.
Future Outlook
With an aging society and urban development, escalator demand remains stable. Introduction of IoT, energy saving, and smart control technologies is progressing, requiring design engineers to advance integration of electrical control and mechanical design.
