In its early days the company concentrated on simple panels but the emphasis rapidly changed to modernisation work and involvement with various combinations of old and new equipment supplied by lift companies, both past and present.  Today LION handles all levels of work from APB to group systems covering all types of drives using advanced, modern technology, complying with an impressive range of specified options.

In the field of electro-hydraulic lifts a considerable library of circuits has been compiled covering possibly every combination of pump and valve system in use in the UK. LION tackles diverse applications in the repair and reconstruction field, both hydraulic and traction. The company has a reputation for handling installations such as slip ring, super tandem, intrinsically-safe and where old and/or mixed equipment is involved.

All systems are designed, programmed, built and tested in-house from APB to full collective duplex and for any drive system including  frequency drives (VVVF) and static converter drives (SCD).   Lion provides a range of ancillary equipment to support its panels including items such as car top control stations, detector heads and other shaft equipment. In addition LION frequently performs site surveys and provides a consultancy service.

Quality

LION prides itself on the consistent performance of its control panels which stems from its internal quality control procedures specifically designed to cope with the one-off nature of the business. The lift software programmes are written in house. Control of the lift is accomplished by using a programmable logic controller manufactured by Omron using the CPM units and all programmes are standard. Panels are fully tested before dispatch using our lift simulators. They are checked for sequence of operation, lift movements, door operations, indicators, components, software and wiring.

Panels

All our control panels are contained in standard steel enclosures with a semi-gloss finish with hinged doors. A removable gland plate is provided at the bottom of the cabinet for cable entry. Ample room is allowed between the terminal rail and the bottom of the enclosure for the incoming car and shaft wiring to be loomed. Inputs and outputs are indicated by LEDs to help with fault finding and checking lift operation. A fault screen with text can be added if required for monitoring operation and logging faults, with date and time.
